Navigation pay

The Middle East Navigation Aids Service (MENAS) has signed a cooperation agreement with Inchcape Shipping Services that will contract the ship agency company to collect navigation aids dues from the ships it looks after in the Middle East Gulf. This is a huge step forward in its effort to ensure shipowners are able to pay for navigational aids provision in the waterway. The agreement, covering all Inchcape offices in the Middle East, is the first one in a series to formalise and standardise the collection of nav dues processes and accountabilities across all ship agencies working with MENAS on the collection of nav dues. More than 2,000 vessels rely on MENAS equipment and services each month.
