Laytime calculation examples : helping solutions

There has been a growing interest in the shipping community to speeding-up laytime calculations. A professional doing laytime calcs knows how time consuming it is, especially if the one has to work under time pressure. Often, those limited hours of private life have to be spent on reverting to lengthy time sheets. But, what can be done about that? It would be great to, sometimes, outsource the problem solver .

On the other hand, beginners, having yet little experience, feel a need for support to decide whether to count a particular period or not. Clearly, cost of mistake can be too high, since the size of despatch or demurrage can effect final results to a great extent. So, if someone could provide alternative calculations, then, by comparing final figures, it would become possible to come to a final conclusion.

We therefore decided to launch a service for fast and precise laytime calculations for insignificant fees! Actually, we believe, a solution seeker may decide how much to pay ! Remember we have got a nicely designed laytime calculator previously described in one of the posts. Please kindly e-mail us to : maritimedomain@yahoo.com . And we also invite the problem solvers!

The reader is also referred to our  Laytime Calculation pages for discussions, detailed analysis and review of hard cases.
