Independent Vessel Valuations
For Decisions That Need to Hold Up
When the conversation is a sale, a refinance, an insurance renewal, an audit, or a board approval, you need a vessel value you can put in front of a counterparty and walk through line by line. ShipScope produces a fully sourced three approach valuation report built on the same framework institutional appraisers use, delivered on your timeline.
SAMPLE VESSEL
Four things in every ShipScope report, by design
ISO 9001:2015 covers the operating group quality management processes for digitization, document management and records services. It is not a certification of valuation outcomes. Each ShipScope report is intended to support the recipient's own independent diligence and decision making.
The Valuation Channel Has a Gap in the Middle
Owners and operators that only need a small number of defensible reports each year tend to land on one of four options. Each one solves part of the problem and trades off the rest.
A Broker Certificate
Fast and familiar, but reflects a single broker's view, rarely shows the workings, and often comes attached to a transaction relationship you may not want.
An Online Valuation Platform
Powerful for portfolio teams, but commonly sold as annual subscriptions priced for fleets and desks. Hard to justify when the real need is a handful of reports a year.
An In House Spreadsheet
You know the asset best, but a number you produced yourself is rarely the number a bank, auditor, insurer, or counterparty wants to see in the file.
A Full Independent Appraisal
The most defensible option, and the right one for a contested matter. For a routine refinance, renewal, or board pack, the cost and the three to four week timeline are often more than the decision needs.
ShipScope sits in the middle. The same three approach methodology institutional appraisers use, every input sourced and visible, delivered on a published service window. Bought one report at a time, scoped to a specific vessel and a specific decision.
Three Approaches, One Defensible Number
Every ShipScope report follows the same three approach valuation framework that institutional appraisers use. Each input is sourced and each calculation is shown.
Market Approach
Comparable sale evidence with provenance tags so you can see where each comparable came from and whether it is verified, partner sourced, or illustrative.
- Comparable sales table with sources
- Sample size, median, IQR statistics
- Provenance tag on each comparable
Income Approach
Discounted cash flow built from the prevailing charter benchmark for the vessel type and size, with assumptions and sensitivity bands stated up front.
- Charter rate benchmark inputs
- DCF with stated discount rate
- Sensitivity to rate and OPEX
Cost Approach
Depreciated replacement cost from current newbuild parity for the type and size, with the depreciation curve and residual assumptions disclosed.
- Newbuild parity benchmark
- Age based depreciation curve
- Residual value assumption stated
Express tier ($2,999) also includes: an executive summary, a compliance impact section covering CII, EU ETS, and FuelEU exposure for the subject vessel, and a market context page with benchmarks. Compliance impact figures are presented as illustrative industry ranges and are not a substitute for vessel specific advice.

From Order to Delivered Report
A clear three step path. You select a tier, we build the report, you receive a fully sourced PDF inside the published service window.
Compliance and Capital Decisions Both Need a Defensible Number
Regulatory cost is now part of the asset story for almost every commercially trading vessel. A report that handles valuation and the compliance context together saves time and reduces inconsistency.
Global CII Reach
The IMO Carbon Intensity Indicator applies to virtually every cargo, tanker, and gas carrier above 5,000 GT trading internationally. If your fleet trades worldwide, it is in scope.
EU ETS Is Now a Real Cost
Maritime emissions on voyages calling EU and EEA ports are now inside the EU Emissions Trading System. Carbon allowances are a recurring annual cost line that varies with fuel mix, voyage profile, and the prevailing EUA price.
One Platform, Not Many Tools
Most operators stitch valuation, CII tracking, EU ETS exposure, and TCO modelling across separate spreadsheets and vendors. ShipScope brings them into one workflow.
Choose by Decision Window, Not by Methodology
Every tier uses the same three approach framework and the same source attribution standard. The differences are depth of write up and how fast the report lands in your inbox.
