Cash to Master (CTM) is a crucial financial service provided to ships while they are in port. It involves delivering funds directly to the ship’s master or captain to cover various petty cash expenses during the vessel’s stay in the port. The amount of cash transferred depends on the ship’s needs and the duration of the port stay. CTM services are typically availed to facilitate payments for provisions, minor repairs, crew welfare, port fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.
