Supercharge your laytime work
A faster, more accurate way to calculate laytime and manage demurrage. Apply your clauses in clicks, keep every voyage in one place, and get every SOF into structured form, straight from the port or read for you by AI.
Where laytime work slows down
Most teams still move SOFs, clauses and claims between PDFs, spreadsheets and email. It works, but it takes time, and it's easy to miss something.
Collect
SOF arrives from the agent in a different format each time, often incomplete. Cross-reference with the charter party. Chase missing timestamps.
Calculate
Build the laytime in a spreadsheet. Apply the right terms and exclusions. Check and double-check the numbers. Manage splits across counterparties.
Settle
Send the claim. Wait for the counter. Negotiate back and forth. Track what’s open, what’s agreed and what’s paid, somewhere.
The work itself is fine. The tools around it don't keep up.
Everything the laytime workflow needs
One system for the full laytime workflow, from SOF to settlement.
Powerful calculator
Apply SHINC, SHEX, reversible, WWD and custom exclusions in clicks, not formulas.
Everything per voyage
Splits, documents, calculations and history in one folder. Anyone on the team can pick it up.
Portfolio overview
See what’s open, in negotiation, settled or paid, with alerts before a time-bar slips.
Reporting and savings
Dashboards on demurrage exposure and claim aging, plus the savings your team negotiates.
API
Connect to your ERP, accounting and in-house systems.
Cloud-based
No installation. Most teams are live within days.
Every SOF, ready to use
The SOF is where every laytime calculation starts, and where most of the manual work lives. Enqlare gives you two ways to take the retyping out of it.
eSOF
Laytime Pro
rSOF
Laytime Pro AI
Two routes, one result: every SOF in the same structured format, in the same workflow. No retyping either way.
Let AI do the first read
Laytime Pro AI reads your SOFs and charter parties and proposes the laytime. You review, edit and decide.
rSOF
The SOF, read by AIUpload the SOF and the timepoints and periods are extracted and categorised: weather, shifting, waiting, cargo operations. Apply a laytime rule to a set of events in one go.
“Rain from 1500 to 1515 hrs, loading stopped.”
↓ AI resultrContract
The charter party, read by AILaytime clauses are pulled from the contract and filled into the calculation, with every clause in one place.
“Laytime to commence 6 running hours after NOR tendered, unless sooner commenced. Sundays and holidays included.”
↓ AI resultLaytime start and stop
Calculated, with the reasoning shownAI proposes when laytime starts, stops, is interrupted and resumes, based on the extracted terms and events. Click See AI reasoning to check why.
“NOR tendered 08:00. Notice time 6 hours.”
↓ AI resultWhy: NOR tendered 08:00 + 6 hours notice time, per the commencement clause.
AI suggests, you decide. Every result can be reviewed and edited before it goes into a calculation or claim, and traced back to its source line.
Also included in Laytime Pro: Compare with AI, to check a counterparty's claim against your own calculation.
Connected data from the port
When your agents work in Enqlare Port Calls, their structured port call data flows straight into your laytime workflow.
The calculator works fully standalone. Connecting your agents makes it faster.
Built for the teams that do the work
Commodity traders

Reduce demurrage costs, control operational risk and turn laytime data into planning insight. Demurrage can be 10–20% of total voyage costs, and most of it can be managed.

Why teams move from spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are flexible. That's why they've lasted this long. The challenge isn't the calculation. It's everything around it.
BIMCO Holiday Calendar — built in
We've partnered with BIMCO to bring their Holiday Calendar into the laytime calculator. When you apply terms, local holidays are accounted for automatically. Free for BIMCO members.
“Anything that reduces the time spent on laytime calculations is a big win for me. It allows me to focus more on other critical tasks.”
