        "We have worked with Haugen Consulting since 1995 to analyze, negotiate and settle demurrage claims for all bulk chemical exports. The Haugen Teams' professionalism, industry knowledge, attention to detail, accuracy of calculations and willingness to stand by their positions, has saved DuPont on average of 35+% against claims filed.
        Haugen Consulting has also developed a voyage database which we have utilized to develop more equitable Charter Party Clauses, monitor performance and provide historic logistics studies to our Business Units. All in all, our long term relationship has been a valuable asset to DuPont's Bulk Global Logistic Team.
