Annual Payroll
Crew budget ready:
cost guidance will appear after calculation.
Model approach:
base wages and overtime are budgeted for continuous
onboard berth coverage over 12 months. Leave pay and
employer burden are added to payroll. Rotation is used
to estimate relief-pool headcount and annual crew-change
events. Travel and crew-change cost are charged per
sign-off / replacement event, while medical, training,
PPE, welfare and recruitment costs are applied to the
estimated relief pool. Victualing is based on onboard
berths × 365 days.
Planning estimate only.
Actual vessel crew cost depends on flag, collective bargaining
agreements, employment contracts, nationality mix, rank,
overtime arrangements, leave policy, social contributions,
insurance, travel origin, crew-change ports, visa requirements,
training, medical certification, crewing-agent terms, vessel
type and operating pattern. Use current company, flag-state,
union, payroll and travel assumptions for budgeting.
