FAQ — vessel OPEX

Is this a charter party figure?

No. Estimates for planning. Use company accounts, actual bunker invoices and off-hire for contractual / audit numbers.

Why include carbon cost?

EU ETS / FuelEU and charter carbon clauses increasingly sit beside classic OPEX — modelling them early supports commercial decisions.

How does Actinium-sm go further?

Live voyage fuel, PMS-linked maintenance spend, dry-dock budgets and multi-vessel CFO dashboards with budget variances.
