We calculate Market Values using a 5 factor algorithm, meaning each vessel is scored dependent on age, size, builder, features and earnings. The impact of these features are analysed and tested against recent market transactions and regressed in the system. These regressions are run daily to produce daily updated Market Values for individual vessels. For more information on our methodology please email us at [email protected]
The same five factor algorithm is applied, however for illiquid sectors, where limited sales are available, greater emphasis is placed on Newbuilding Values.
Our values are updated every day for every ship that we provide automated values for in our database. This allows us to produce the most up to date values possible.
We measure our valuations against actual historical sales to test for accuracy. Please email us at [email protected] to request our latest accuracy report. If you have a login you can download it from our methodology page.
