The cost of getting it wrong
Every transit carries financial and operational risk when filings are managed manually.
Port delays
Missed windows can create operational and financial exposure. Confirm the applicable authority deadline and current instructions.
Compliance errors
Each authority has its own ruleset. Validation can help surface missing or inconsistent data, but it does not predict a fine or authority decision.
Agent overhead
Pricing depends on the selected product workflow. See the current pricing page rather than relying on a generalized agent-cost comparison.
Capability status is explicit
See which waterways support LIVE, BETA, RESEARCHED, PLANNED, or INTEGRATION PENDING workflows.
How CanalClear works
From upload to a reviewed, submission-ready package — with validation at the available workflow stages.
Upload
Drop your vessel particulars and cargo documents; available fields and workflows vary by waterway.
Validate
Validation checks supported fields against the configured rule set and returns an advisory result before submission.
File
Review the package, then use portal assistance, limited email delivery, or the authority channel shown for that waterway. An outbound delivery is not proof of acceptance.
Capability disclosure matters: CanalClear validates and prepares documents, while the authority controls submission acceptance.
