About us

Laytime management, done properly

DesDem International Services provides an international service for complete laytime management and analysis for shipowners', charterers' and importers'/exporters' laytime portfolios.

Why it exists

Trade has outgrown in-house laytime management

With today's rapidly expanding international trade, DesDem recognises that laytime management has become much more complex and cumbersome to administer in house.

Our staff have a strong background in shipping, principally in coal, iron ore and mixed commodities, with decades of combined experience between them.
