Ship Operating Costs Annual Review and Forecast 2020/21

One of Drewry’s flagship reports, Ship Operating Costs 2020/21 provides one of the most complete annual assessments of ship operating costs available in a single source. Operating cost assessments are provided for 47 representative ship types and sizes, spanning the container, dry bulk, oil, chemical, LNG, LPG, general cargo, reefer, ro-ro and car carrier sectors.

For each of the 47 vessel types and sizes covered the report shows:

• Assessment of 2020 ship operating costs by main cost head (e.g. insurance) and sub-cost (e.g. hull and machinery insurance) for 10-year old vessels (or younger where appropriate)
• Operating cost ranges, indicating the typical spread of daily opex across the fleet
• Operating costs by vessel age (newbuild, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years) broken down by main cost head
• Historical trend in annual ship operating costs for the period 2015 to 2020, broken down by main cost head
• Annual projections of total ship operating costs to 2025

The report also includes detailed data and analysis of cost trends and forecasts for each of the main cost heads of: manning; insurance; stores & spares; lubricants; repairs & maintenance and dry docking; and management & administration.

It also provides in-depth explanation of operating cost variances by ship type and age of vessel.

A comprehensive, global study of this nature is a powerful tool, enabling you to benchmark specific ship operating costs with confidence and clarity. No other source of information provides such a depth and breadth of insight, allowing you to drill down into specific cost heads.
