Drydock CAPEX, Special Survey Cost & Reserve Planning Tool

Build a vessel drydock budget that separates direct project cash from off-hire economics and reserve funding. Simple mode combines the major cost blocks, contingency, lost vessel contribution and current reserve balance. Advanced mode builds a work-package register, applies timing escalation and scope-risk allowances, schedules pre-dock/dock/post-dock payments, projects the dedicated reserve balance, calculates the monthly contribution required to avoid a funding gap, and estimates the next reserve cycle.

Drydock / Survey Work-Package Budget

Enter today's budget estimate for each work package. “Scope risk uplift” is a user-entered allowance for uncertainty in that package before the global contingency. Payment splits determine when reserve cash is consumed: pre-dock, during docking, and post-dock closeout. Splits should total 100% for each active row.

Technical / Budget Readiness Checks

Budget boundary: this is a technical-budget and reserve-planning model, not a yard quotation, accounting-policy determination or class survey schedule. Final scope, capitalization treatment, survey interval, off-hire, steel renewal, coating extent, yard choice, FX exposure and payment milestones remain vessel- and owner-specific.
Technical basis: drydock and Special Survey expenditure is driven by the actual work scope, vessel condition, class/statutory survey requirements, yard/location, owner upgrades and time out of service. Public shipowner disclosures commonly separate drydock cash expenditure from scheduled off-hire and often defer/amortize qualifying drydock/Special Survey costs to the next survey cycle. This tool therefore keeps project cash, opportunity cost and reserve funding as separate views.
