Abstract

This study focuses on analysis of items that affect ships’ voyage costs. Investigation is performed by deconstructing and comparing voyage costs of three identical voyages of the same liner ship. The focus is directed on the items that affect the costs significantly. It is assessed that voyage costs are affected by the increase in the variety of cargo and hence extended handling times as well as fuel consumption, which is directly influenced by the ship speed and sea/weather conditions. The differences in costs proved to source also from waiting times at strait entrance and anchorage areas.
