"Agents can keep levy money from ship payments to cover their costs"

If you are an agent for a ship, you might have to pay something called maritime levies. You can take the amount of these levies out of the money you receive for the ship, as well as any reasonable expenses you had to pay because of the levies. This means you can keep this money to cover the costs you had to pay.
