Feeder vessel voyage calculator
Built for short regional rotations: many ports, short legs and tight margins. Price a container feeder voyage port by port before it sails.
Feeder vessel voyage estimation
On a feeder, the ports weigh far more than on a long-haul service: more calls, shorter legs and more days alongside. So each call needs its real cost. Stowlines prices the feeder vessel's port charges from each port's tariff and adds the bunkers, the hire and any canal dues.
Feeder vessel cost per TEU and slot cost
The result is the feeder vessel's slot cost: the cost per TEU of the voyage, with the cost per nautical mile and per voyage day. Add the TEU loaded and the freight of each leg to see the container feeder voyage's profitability, its utilization and its break-even freight.
A bunker budget for each voyage
Enter the feeder's own speed-wise consumption, at 14 knots or at any speed it sails, and the bunker budget per voyage follows, at sea and in port, by fuel grade. Try a slower leg and see what it saves against the days it adds.
Feeder route planner and transit time
Drop the ports on the map, or type them, and the feeder vessel's route and transit time work themselves out, with the sea distance, the ETA and ETD of each call and the voyage duration. Reorder the rotation and every figure follows.
Feeder vessel deployment planning
Thinking of putting another vessel on the trade? Compare a container feeder voyage with different vessels or rotations, up to five side by side. Once the deployment is fixed, Schedule Planning keeps its voyages on one board.

Feeder Vessel Calculator, answered.
How do I estimate a feeder vessel's voyage cost?
Enter the vessel, the port rotation and the fuel prices. The estimator prices each call and shows the voyage cost, the cost per TEU and the days.
How much bunker does a feeder vessel use?
It depends on the vessel, its speed and its port time, so the estimator uses your feeder's own consumption table instead of one average figure.
Can I compare two feeder rotations?
Yes. Build both and compare them: the distance, days, fuel, costs, cost per TEU and profit, side by side.
Is it only for feeders?
No. It works for any container vessel, from a regional feeder to a long-haul liner service.
