The fall out from the credit crunch has focused suppliers attention on the need to adequately fund their businesses and to assess the very real risks of funding uneconomic voyages with unsecured credit.

Suppliers can reduce this risk by increasing their turnover when taking advantage of the 7 day payment option available under the Voyager - Maritime Payment Solution.
