Worldscale Tanker Freight Tool WS Points, Flat Rate, Freight & TCE

Convert a user-supplied WS100 flat rate and market Worldscale level into tanker freight, net freight and voyage TCE. Simple mode answers the commercial question fast. Advanced adds Worldscale variable and fixed differentials, charterparty freight adjustments, full bunker/voyage economics, target-TCE break-even Worldscale, zero-TCE Worldscale, lumpsum-equivalent WS and multi-dimensional WS × bunker sensitivity.

Fast Worldscale Freight & TCE

Enter the applicable WS100 flat rate from your Worldscale/charterparty source. WS points are treated as a percentage of that rate: WS100 = 100%, WS175 = 175%, WS75 = 75%.

Commercial limitation: Worldscale flat rates, additions and differentials are contractual/licensed reference data and are not supplied by this calculator. Users must enter the applicable values. WS100 is the Worldscale standard-vessel basis and is not automatically the economic break-even level for the actual tanker being evaluated. Deadfreight, fixed differentials, supplementary items and commission treatment can depend on charterparty wording. This tool is a voyage-economics screen, not a fixture confirmation. TCE output is withheld when total voyage duration is below 0.1 day (2.4 hours) to prevent near-zero duration inputs from generating meaningless daily earnings.

Methodology basis: Worldscale defines market WS levels as percentages of the applicable nominal flat rate, with WS100 equal to the published rate. Its public freight guidance applies the Worldscale equivalent to the flat rate and applicable variable differentials, while fixed differentials depend on their wording. The Baltic Exchange tanker TCE methodology converts Worldscale to $/mt, calculates gross freight, deducts commission and voyage expenses including bunkers/port/miscellaneous costs, and divides net voyage income by total voyage duration. The Ship Universe break-even WS calculations reverse that same entered voyage model for either zero TCE or a user-entered target TCE.
