ETA Calculator | Decision-support Platform
What is the ETA Calculator?
StormGeo's ETA calculator allows shippers to make quick decisions on a vessel’s sailing orders and upcoming port call. It takes the vessel performance and weather forecast into account for the remainder of a sea passage.
The ETA Calculator helps to answer:
- What are the costs or savings of advancing or delaying my ETA?
- How does a change in speed order affect my ETA?
- How does a specific consumption order affect my ETA?
Who has access to the ETA Calculator?
All ships engaging in tramp trade under StormGeo's Route Advisory Services have access to the ETA calculator within their decision-support platform.

Input Costs to Support Calculation
These costs can be input to support the calculation:

- Daily hire rate
- Daily future hire rate*
*Future hiring can be the demurrage rate and account for the value of time saved/lost on changing the ETA.

ETA & Speed Confidence
How reliable is the calculated ETA based on instructed speed or the recommended speed in order to arrive as per schedule? Get alerted if the ETA or the schedule integrity is at risk. Our ETA calculator is included.
Speed & Consumption Variance
Stay on top of fuel costs and potential savings, which can be realized by adjusting the speed, as advised by our experts. You can also calculate the amount of additional fuel that would be used to arrive earlier.
Progress Graph
How diligently is the Master following the constant power strategy? Compare actual to optimum voyage progress at a constant power output in order to arrive fuel-efficient on time as request per schedule.
Compare Your Fleet to the Market
Compare the fuel efficiency of your vessel to a peer group of the same ship type, a similar size and age of the global fleet. Benchmark the commercial performance of your vessels in terms of fuel efficiency as well as Charter Party description to the market.
