Managing ship chartering operations without clear performance visibility is risky and expensive. Charter rates fluctuate, vessel utilization shifts daily, and operating costs continue to rise. Without a structured system, decision-makers struggle to identify gaps, control margins, and act quickly. That is exactly why the Ship Chartering KPI Dashboard in Excel is a must-have performance management solution for modern maritime organizations.
This ready-to-use Excel dashboard transforms scattered chartering data into clear KPIs, comparisons, and trends. Instead of working with multiple spreadsheets and manual reports, you get one centralized, professional dashboard that shows exactly how your chartering business is performing—month by month and year to date. Best of all, it runs entirely in Microsoft Excel, so you do not need any coding, advanced tools, or expensive software.
