This paper investigates the impact of distance and narrow waterway factors on voyage costs. The data set is taken from a Turk shipping company and consists of real dates. In the study, it was seen that the fuel consumption rate of the ships whose routes are narrow waterways such as straits and canals was higher for the fact that the vessels have to maneuver more on such routes. On the contrary, ships which sailed on the open seas consumed lower fuel. At the end of the study, it was determined that of bunker cost rates caused by the impact of these geographical factors could increase up to 30 percent among the total amount of voyage costs.

Keywords: Shipping, voyage costs, cost formulations, costs analyses

Bu çalýþmada kat edilen mesafe ve dar su yollarýnýn sefer maliyetleri üzerine etkisi incelenmiþtir. Çalýþmada kullanýlan veri seti bir Türk denizcilik þirketinden alýnmýþ ve gerçek verilerdir. Çalýþmada, rota üzerinde yer alan boðaz ve kanal gibi dar suyollarý sebebiyle manevra kabiliyetini artýrmak zorunda olan gemilerin yakýt tüketiminin arttýðý, buna karþýlýk sadece açýk deniz seyri yapýlmasý durumunda ise yakýt tüketiminin azaldýðý görülmüþtür. Çalýþmanýn sonunda, coðrafi faktörlerin etkisiyle oluþan maliyetlerin sefer maliyetleri içindeki payý % 30’lara kadar çýkabildiði tespit edilmiþtir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Taþýmacýlýk, sefer maliyetleri, maliyet formülasyonu, maliyet analizi
