Maritime operators lose millions to payment float every year. Over 60% of logistics providers wait more than 60 days for payment, with ocean freight shippers averaging 60–90 days. That's $20–30M+ permanently locked in receivables for a typical mid-size operator. Use our calculator to see what Bosun could unlock for your business.
Every day your capital sits in transit, it costs you money. Traditional cross-border payment rails were designed for a 9-to-5, Monday-to-Friday world. Your ships operate 24/7/365. That mismatch creates a permanent working capital gap that drains your balance sheet.

Industry standard
The result? A $10M/month maritime company with 60-day payment terms has roughly $20M permanently trapped in receivables. At 90-day terms—common in ocean freight—that rises to $30M. This is capital that could be funding fleet expansion, fuel purchases, debt reduction, or earning yield in treasury.
