Dispute resolution process

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines employs a Purchase Ledger Controller who is the first point of contact should a supplier want to query or resolve an issue regarding invoice payment. Contact can be made via telephone Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm or via email. Phone calls are usually answered immediately and the dedicated Purchase Ledger mailbox is monitored on a daily basis with target response times within 2 working days. If an invoice dispute is in relation to the supply of goods or services, direct contact is established between the department responsible for the order and the supplier.
