Voyage budget template

A voyage budget template that works itself out

Keep the Excel workbook, lose the retyping. Build the voyage online, with the route, the tariffs and the fuel worked out, and take the estimate to Excel when you need it.

From an Excel template to a live estimate

Many teams still cost voyages in a spreadsheet: a ship voyage cost estimation in Excel, another sheet for bunker consumption, another for the port cost calculation and a slot cost template. Each one needs its distances, tariffs and prices typed in again.

In Stowlines one estimate holds them all: the route and the days, the container vessel's bunker consumption, the port cost of each call, the slot cost and the voyage P&L. Container ship voyage budgeting and ship fuel budgeting then start from the same figures.

Take it to Excel, PDF or PowerPoint

Save the voyage as an Excel workbook with its summary, itinerary and costs, ready to keep working on. Or save it as a PDF or a PowerPoint presentation for a manager or a client, with the cost of the voyage split by line for your reporting. A comparison of voyages can be saved the same way.

Your own voyage templates

Save a trade as a template, with its vessel, rotation and prices: a feeder vessel voyage budget template you can open and change for the next sailing. Share templates with your colleagues so the whole team starts from the same figures.

Scenarios and voyage cost forecasting

A budget is a forecast, so try it both ways. Change the fuel price, the speed, a port or the load, and the estimate shows the new voyage cost at once: a simple ship voyage simulation and vessel voyage cost prediction, before the ship sails. Keep up to five tables to compare scenarios side by side, as a vessel voyage scenario calculator and a voyage financial forecast.
