Ask Danica for a reference budget. With 10 locations worldwide, we have the global overview and the local expertise.
The season to prepare budgets has come round once again. The crew budget is a significant element of any vessel’s OPEX budget and must be carefully planned and balanced to be cost-effective. At Danica, we will be delighted to help you with that process.
Seafarers’ remuneration and travel costs make up the most significant chunk of the crew budget. When preparing a crew budget, the key questions are “Are our wages at the right level?” and “What will the travel costs be?”
Danica can help you answer these questions. We have crew on over 250 vessels and recruitment and crewing offices in all key seafaring hubs, covering the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Ukraine, Turkey, the EU, and Georgia. Every year, we talk to thousands of seafarers who are looking for job opportunities, and each month, seafarers seeking employment view job vacancies on our advanced digital recruitment platform more than 200,000 times.
Being in touch with so many seafarers gives us unique intelligence about seafarers’ remuneration and enables us to set the right wage levels for any vessel type and rank.
From the many crew changes we execute each year, we are also aware of travel costs and port agency fees and know the optimal ports for crew changes around the globe.
Please feel free to contact our CEO, Henrik Jensen, for a talk about crew budgets and crew employment markets. Of course, we can also prepare a crew budget as a reference for your own budget.
