Voyage costs and profit
Calculate freight income, fuel costs, port expenses, canal dues, operational costs, TCE and total voyage profitability.
Free voyage analysis
Voyage Calculator & Scenario Analyzer
Calculate and compare the operational, economic and environmental performance of alternative planned vessel voyages.
Enter one vessel and create up to three alternative Voyage Chains. Each chain can contain its own ordered cargo sequence, port rotation and bunkering calls. Marine Solver evaluates every planned voyage from the vessel’s open position through loading and discharging ports to an optional exit point, then brings the alternatives together in one Analysis Summary.
A free confirmed Marine Solver account is required to open the workspace. No paid Solver subscription is required.
Complete voyage intelligence
What the voyage calculator includes
Evaluate and compare user-defined voyage scenarios without running a fleet optimization model or changing the selected cargo sequence within each Voyage Chain.
Operational performance
Review total distance, ballast and laden legs, sailing time, waiting time, port operations and complete voyage duration.
Voyage schedule & timeline
Generate a detailed voyage itinerary with estimated arrival, waiting, berth operations, canal transits and departure dates for every port leg.
Emissions and EU ETS
Estimate fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, SECA exposure, and accurate EU ETS cost per leg calculation for planned voyages.
CII performance
Forecast voyage contribution to the vessel’s Carbon Intensity Indicator and assess the expected CII rating.
FuelEU Maritime
Evaluate voyage-level FuelEU Maritime intensity, compliance balance, and expected FuelEU penalty per voyage.
What-if analysis
Compare Voyage Chains under the main analysis, then recalculate the same alternatives under different fuel prices, ETS assumptions, speeds, consumption and other available What-if parameters.

More than a standard voyage cost calculator
In chartering and pre-fixture voyage estimation, a standard voyage calculator or voyage estimator usually starts with distance, bunker consumption, port costs and voyage economics. Marine Solver’s Voyage Scenario Analyzer extends this into a voyage solver for user-defined commercial scenarios: compare alternative Voyage Chains, port rotations, ballast positioning, successive cargoes, bunkering calls, waiting time, canal routes, environmental exposure and regulatory performance.
The Analyzer does not select or optimize the cargo sequence. Each Voyage Chain entered by the user is treated as a planned commercial alternative. This makes it possible to compare pre-fixture voyage scenarios while preserving complete control over the intended route and cargo order.
The same analytical framework used by the Marine Solver optimization platform is applied to user-defined voyages, providing consistent economic, operational and ecological intelligence across the alternatives.

FAQ
Voyage Scenario Analyzer questions
Is this a voyage cost calculator?
Yes. It calculates voyage costs, but also includes freight income, voyage P&L, TCE, profit, operational time, fuel consumption, emissions, EU ETS, CII and FuelEU Maritime metrics.
Does the Analyzer generate a detailed vessel schedule?
Yes. It calculates estimated arrival and departure dates, waiting time, port operations and canal transit time across every leg of the planned voyage.
Can I analyze several cargoes in one voyage?
Yes. Each Voyage Chain can contain several cargoes analyzed in the exact order entered by the user. You can also create up to three alternative Voyage Chains for the same vessel and compare their results in the Analysis Summary.
Can I compare different voyage scenarios?
Yes. Voyage Analyzer can calculate up to three alternative Voyage Chains for the same vessel. Each scenario may use a different cargo sequence, port rotation and bunkering plan, while the Analysis Summary compares their operational, commercial and environmental results side by side.
Does the Analyzer optimize the voyage?
No. It analyzes the voyage sequences selected by the user. The full Marine Solver platform can additionally search the wider decision space to identify vessel and cargo-sequence alternatives.
Does it include CII and FuelEU Maritime calculations?
Yes. The environmental layer includes CO₂ emissions, EU ETS exposure, CII performance and FuelEU Maritime voyage metrics.
Can I use the Analyzer for a quick CII band check or EU ETS cost per leg calculation?
Yes. The environmental layer works as a quick CII band check, calculates the EU ETS cost per leg, and evaluates the expected FuelEU penalty per voyage based on your selected fuel profile and route.
