Vessel Lay-Up - Daily Cost
Cold / warm lay-up daily OPEX benchmark - the floor for keeping vessel ready for reactivation.
Daily cost
3,500USD/day
Annual cost
1,277,500USD/yr
Formula, assumptions, and limits
$$C_{annual} = C_{daily} \cdot 365$$
Cold lay-up cheap but reactivation costs +1-2 M USD + 30-90 days. Warm lay-up preserves cert validity. Hot OPEX = full operational minus fuel (~8 k/day modern bulker).
