Husbandry, clearance, crew movements — agency work with visible scope and sealed pricing.

Plate — five lines through one sealed-bid engine; chartering negotiates blind to a fixture; consultancy is platform-priced. Solid marks are live.
Agency appointments run on trust because scope is fuzzy. GeoMarineHub makes the scope explicit: the services requested are listed, the terms are stated, and competing agents at the port price the same defined job.
For operators and managers
01
Define the agency scope per call — clearance, husbandry, crew transport, cash to master — and receive sealed quotes from agents at that port.
02
Terms are visible before pricing; comparisons are on the same scope, not on differently-padded PDAs.
03
Every appointment leaves a tracked record from acceptance to completion.
For port agents
01
Calls at your ports come to you with defined scope — quote the job, not the guesswork.
02
Blind competition rewards responsive, well-priced agency work over incumbency.
03
Build a platform track record with ratings tied to completed appointments.
How it runs on the platform
01
Agency is its own service type with per-port supplier registration.
02
Scope travels as structured lines, so quotes stay comparable.
03
Awards, completion and ratings run on the shared order engine.
