Transparent, structured
methodologies
Market references and valuations derived through disciplined, coded methods, built for consistency, not short-term volatility.
How the valuation works
A modelled estimate built from published rates, fleet utilisation and technical assumptions.
Unit Inputs
Class, build tier, year built and loading rate, with optional capacity and utilisation.
Earnings
Published ITI rates averaged over three years, less typical running costs for the class, including fuel.
Crane Life
Hours already used for the unit's age, consumed from today at the pace of its employment, within the hull's life.
Value
Earnings over the remaining life, discounted to today, plus the value of being ready now, compared with the cost of replacing the unit.
Guiding principles
The shared foundation behind every index value and asset estimate.
Structural Reference
Built on market structure, not short-term noise.
Consistency First
Stability and continuity over reactive volatility.
