Service Details

Service Overview

When a principal needs independent local oversight, Tricon can serve as protective agent. We monitor the call, maintain visibility into key activities and costs, and help ensure the principal’s interests remain represented alongside the nominated agent’s work.

A protective agent is independently appointed to represent a principal’s interests when another party has nominated the primary port agent. The result is an additional layer of local visibility and oversight throughout the call.

Key Benefits

  • Independent Representation – Local eyes focused solely on the appointing principal’s interests.
  • Visibility into Costs – Insight into key activities and charges during the call.
  • Timely Reporting – Updates on operational developments as they happen.
  • A Second Layer of Oversight – Added confidence alongside the nominated agent’s work.

What’s Included

  • Independent monitoring and reporting
  • Review of operational developments and port-call activity
  • Local coordination on behalf of the appointing principal
  • A second layer of visibility throughout the call
