Vessel operating cost calculator

Vessel operating cost, voyage by voyage

See what a vessel costs to run on a voyage: every expense as its own line, then the cost per day and per nautical mile.

Ship operating expenses on one screen

The voyage summary lists each expense: bunkers, port costs, canal dues, charter hire, war risk insurance (EWRI) and any other cost you add. A breakdown shows how much of the voyage each one takes, so the biggest cost is plain to see.

It is a financial analysis of the voyage you can change: move a port, a speed or a price and every line updates.

Vessel daily operating cost

Beyond the total, the estimate gives the cost per voyage day and the vessel cost per nautical mile, so voyages of different lengths can be compared fairly. The charter hire is counted for every sea, port and idle day of the voyage.

Vessel cost management across the fleet

Keep your vessels with their speed and consumption, your port tariffs and your fuel prices in one place, and every estimate starts from the same figures. Compare vessels on a trade to see which costs less to run on it.

FAQs

Vessel Operating Cost Calculator, answered.

How do I calculate vessel operating cost for a voyage?

List the voyage's expenses: bunkers, port costs, canal dues, hire and anything else. Enter the vessel and the rotation in the estimator and it shows each line, the total, and the cost per day and per nautical mile.

How do I calculate a ship's hire cost?

Enter the charter hire per day. The estimator applies it to the voyage days, including port and idle days, and shows it as its own line.

Does it include crew, insurance and maintenance?

Add them as other costs of the voyage. The estimator focuses on the voyage's own costs: bunkers, ports, canals and hire.

Can I analyse several vessels?

Yes. Compare up to five options side by side, for example one trade sailed by different vessels.
