• Lite version: Ideal for users who want a faster and more user-friendly model for evaluating vessel economics. It works well for initial feasibility review, straightforward forecasting, and practical investment planning.


• Ultimate version: More advanced and better suited for users who need broader assumptions, more detailed schedules, stronger analytical depth, and more professional outputs for investment review, lender presentation, or internal decision-making.
  
  

Start by updating the main assumptions, such as:

• Vessel capacity or operating profile


• Charter rate assumptions


• Utilization assumptions


• Voyage or operating days


• Crew and maintenance expenses


• Insurance and administrative costs


• Debt terms and repayment assumptions


• Capex / acquisition assumptions
  
  
  

Once the inputs are updated, the model automatically flows through the forecast, expense structure, financing outputs, valuation, and dashboard sections.

This makes it easier to test different charter rates, utilization levels, operating costs, and financing structures to understand how vessel performance changes under different cases.

• Professional Excel structure


• Forecast-driven vessel model


• Revenue, utilization, and charter analysis


• Opex, financing, and profitability review


• Debt and return support


• Dashboard with KPIs


• Scenario and sensitivity support

Shipping vessel economics are influenced by multiple moving parts. Revenue depends on utilization, charter pricing, and operating days, while profitability is heavily affected by crew costs, maintenance, insurance, fuel-related assumptions (where relevant), and debt structure. This template helps bring those drivers together into one clear model so users can analyze vessel performance more effectively and make better investment decisions.

This template helps you:

• Save modeling time


• Improve consistency


• Test commercial and cost assumptions
