Mastering Port Cost Management & Disbursement Accounts A New Training Initiative by Lloyd's Maritime Institute & HarborLab In modern shipping, port costs remain one of the most significant — and often least understood — components of voyage economics. Every port call generates a complex set of expenses: pilotage, towage, port dues, agency fees, terminal charges, and many other cost elements consolidated within the Disbursement Account (DA). Yet despite the scale of these costs, structured training on how to analyse, verify, benchmark, and optimise them remains limited across the maritime industry. To address this gap, Lloyd’s Maritime Institute (LMI) and HarborLab are collaborating to develop a new professional course: Mastering Port Cost Management and Disbursement Accounts This initiative combines: HarborLab’s expertise in disbursement account management, port cost transparency, and data-driven insights Lloyd’s Maritime Institute’s strength in delivering professional maritime education worldwide Together, the objective is to create a practical, industry-focused programme designed to help maritime professionals better understand and manage the financial side of port operations.
