A single oversight in your transit filing costs more than most software budgets

$30K–$80K

Daily delay cost

One missed field in your 2026 transit filing forfeits your slot. Waiting for the next Neo-Panamax opening costs $30K–$80K/day in vessel delay before your vessel reaches the Miraflores Locks.

5-10

Days waiting

Miss your Neo-Panamax slot and you wait 5 to 10 days for a new opening. Meanwhile, your vessel burns $50K-$150K per day sitting at anchor.

3+

Agencies to file with

VUMPA consolidates ACP, National Customs Authority, and Migration Service. But the data entry, validation, and submission is still manual chaos.

Compliance automation built for the Canal, not adapted from something else

VUMPA Filing Automation

Auto-populate and validate pre-arrival declarations, cargo manifests, crew lists, and dangerous cargo forms. Submit directly through the Maritime Single Window.

PCSOPEP Compliance Tracking

Monitor your Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan status, renewal dates, and 2026 electronic submission requirements. Never get caught with an expired plan.

Real-Time Regulatory Alerts

ACP advisories, toll updates, draft restrictions, emission standards. Get push notifications the moment regulations change, not when it's too late.

🔒

Pre-Transit Validation

Run your entire documentation package through compliance checks before submission. Catch errors that could forfeit your slot — and cost $30K–$80K/day in vessel delay — while you can still fix them.

📄

Step-by-Step Filing Wizard

Build complete VUMPA declarations, PCSOPEP submissions, crew manifests, and cargo declarations with a guided wizard. Export as PDF or structured data for ACP submission.

What is CanalClear?

CanalClear is an AI-powered maritime compliance automation platform that handles VUMPA filings (Panama), SCA transit permits (Suez), SP-1 pre-arrival notifications (Bosporus/Turkish Straits), STRAITREP filings (Malacca), and ISPS pre-arrival notifications (Cape of Good Hope) for fleet operators, ship agents, and charterers. It replaces expensive ship agent fees ($2,000–$5,000+ per transit) by automating the entire compliance documentation workflow across the world's five critical maritime chokepoints.

Coverage includes Panama Canal (VUMPA, PCSOPEP, crew manifests), Suez Canal (SCA forms, SCNT tonnage, ISPS notifications, convoy booking), Bosporus/Turkish Straits (SP-1 filing, Montreux Convention checks, DG notifications), Malacca Strait (STRAITREP, VTIS compliance, MARPOL validation), and Cape of Good Hope (SAMSA checks, ISPS filings, 96h pre-arrival validation). CanalClear automates all five workflows — enter vessel data once, get compliant filings for whichever waterway you're transiting.

Available at canalclear.org. Five-waterway bundle from $2,799/month (Agent Pro) or $1,499/vessel/month (Ops Manager) — save 20% vs individual plans.
