Voyage Calculation

Those engaged in chartering and ship broking are important receivers and distributors of information. The continuous flow of information and treatment and evaluation of the collected information is necessary to correctly judge the current situation and trends in the freight markets. Accuracy, reliability, speed, and timing of decisions are of utmost importance.

Voyage calculations might be the most essential decision-making tool for chartering managers. Since the freight rate and available cargoes and vessels constantly change, chartering managers spend hours each day calculating the potential earnings for vessels to be prepared to start negotiating through their brokers.

In ShipIntel, you will find all the cargo information you need to calculate and compare USD/day quickly and efficiently for many voyage calculations.

By using the voyage calculation module in ShipIntel, you will save hours each day in doing your voyage calculations. You will have more time to understand and evaluate the alternatives, and more time for negotiations. For dry cargo, tankers, chemicals (no parcel cargoes), LPG and LNG.
