Marcura and Dataloy Systems have announced a new phase in their strategic partnership, introducing deeper automation and embedded insights into Dataloy’s Voyage Management System (VMS).
The expansion allows chartering and operations teams direct access to key Marcura products, including DA-Desk, Portlog and Marcura Claims (formerly ClaimsHub), without switching systems.
Embedding Marcura’s workflows reportedly consolidates tasks such as scheduling voyages, appointing agents and monitoring voyage profitability into one interface, ensuring teams have the information they need, exactly when they need it.
Marcura and Dataloy have long provided integration through the DA-Desk Integration System (DIS), supporting automated synchronisation of port calls, DA service order triggers, invoice retrieval and posting, and live DA milestone updates.
The latest expansion aims to add new capabilities, including enabling chartering and operations teams to view predictive port costs and waiting times within Dataloy, powered by Portlog’s global port performance data.
The next phase will focus on:
- Enhanced Portlog insights – deeper visibility into context-relevant data from Portlog, including turnaround benchmarks, delay predictors and likely terminal assignments.
- Integration with Marcura Claims – claims calculations triggered from port events and automatically synced to the voyage record to improve post-fixture claims handling.
- Laytime tool interoperability – supporting both Dataloy and Marcura laytime solutions, with synchronised outputs across teams.
Dylan Ray Mace, Vice President, Sales & Partnerships, Marcura, said: “Chartering and ops teams already live in Dataloy. They don’t want to waste time navigating several tabs just to check port costs or follow up on a DA.
“This integration brings vital information into their existing workflow, saving time and keeping focus where it matters.”

Erik Fritz Loy, CEO of Dataloy Systems, added: “Our users told us they wanted fewer systems to manage, not more features to learn. Our partnership with Marcura delivers exactly that, more capability within the workflow they already know.”
Earlier this week, the Maritime and Port Authority of Brunei Darussalam (MPABD) officially launched its Maritime Single Window (MSW).
