Marcura has acquired Shipdem, a UK-based specialist in chemical tanker laytime and demurrage, from Casper Shipping, enhancing its capabilities in this technically demanding tanker segment.

Shipdem brings expertise in chemical tanker demurrage, handling complex operations and contracts with disciplined claims management.

Its team has established strong industry relationships, managing the end-to-end claims process for traders and operators.

The acquisition follows Marcura’s 2025 HubSE deal and continues its investment in claims management across major cargo types.

HubSE’s self-service technology complements Shipdem’s fully managed services, enabling flexible, end-to-end solutions for customers.

Shipdem will be fully integrated into Marcura Claims, with the team continuing to focus on chemical demurrage while sharing specialist knowledge across the wider organisation.

"Customers need different levels of support depending on how they operate," said Henrik Hyldahn, Group CEO, Marcura. "Our goal is to deliver that flexibility, whether through software that supports self-service or expert teams who manage the entire claims process. Adding Shipdem and their team strengthens our technical capability in chemical demurrage and reinforces the choice we offer to customers."
