How much time will you need to complete the entire delivery?

The time required to complete the entire delivery process is made up the below phases:

  1. Planning and preparation. One or two days for our onshore team to complete;
  2. Crew travel from home to the origin. Half a day domestically, one day Internationally;
  3. Vessel preparation. Generally half to one day, dependant on vessel readiness;
  4. Time underway (hours) = distance (nm) divided by speed (kn). Plus, any refuelling stops;
  5. Weather delay. We minimise this by choosing a suitable weather window;
  6. Mechanical delay. The vessel owner minimises this by ensuring the vessel is sound mechanical condition, properly equipped and ready for sea; and
  7. Crew travel from the destination back to home. Half a day domestically, one day Internationally.
