Harbor Tug Fleet Contract Tender, Utilization, Standby Fees & Towage Profitability Tool

SHIPUNIVERSE / PORT & TOWAGE COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

Harbor Tug Fleet Contract Tender, Utilization, Standby Fees & Towage Profitability Tool

Price a port-assist contract against actual tug fleet capability. Allocate calls by bollard pull and service window, distinguish paid standby from idle time, and reveal which bids protect cash after fuel, crewing, maintenance and missed-call exposure.

Fleet contract decision intelligence

SIMPLE β€’ LIVE

Monthly contract contribution & cash outlook

Revenue, direct fleet operating costs and cash contribution. The dotted line is modeled closing cash, not booked receivables.

Service-window coverage & dispatch utilization

Qualified tugs are allocated by minimum required bollard pull and practical available hours. A monthly screening model, not a certified real-time dispatch schedule.

Interactive tug fleet utilization

Click a tug to inspect assigned working hours, qualification, fuel expense and operating cost.

Contract tender bid wall

Compare normalized cash contribution, NPV and approval status. Conditional offers stay visible but are not ranked as award-ready.

Revenue-to-margin bridge

Operating cash excludes prospective missed-call opportunity loss; economic exposure is shown separately.

Monthly earnings & missed-call view

Demand served versus missed by month, plus estimated contribution.

25-scenario demand & bunker fuel matrix

Monthly modeled contribution at different call demand and fuel-cost shocks. Select a cell to inspect the scenario, without changing underlying assumptions.

Service-readiness & tender cautions

Advanced β€’ Fleet, offers, dispatch windows & commercial review

Six editable registers. Assign each port call window a required bollard pull, tug count and service duration; the planning allocator uses only cleared, available tugs and charges each tug once for its assigned working time.
Commercial and safety boundaries. Pricing assumptions are user-entered; port-assist tariffs vary by operator and harbor. See Pacific Workboats harbor towage terms, Suderman & Young port tariffs and BIMCO's ocean-towage contract distinction. Pilot/port rules, bollard-pull requirements, safe manning, dispatch limits, standby billability, cancellation and service penalties require contract and operational review. TOWCON is not intended for port towing.
