titleCan I run scenarios to Optimize without committing anything operationally?

Yes. This use case is core to the functionality. Nothing is committed through to operations until the Scheduler makes the final decision and confirms a suggested Estimate. Additionally, the Schedule Optimizer allows the scheduler to keep or discard suggested Estimates through to subsequent runs.

titleWhat about co-loading cargos?

The optimizer can co-load cargoes, but there are two important behaviors to understand:

  1. If a vessel has already loaded a cargo that is assigned to a shipment, it won't load cargoes that aren't in that shipment until it has finished the shipment. The vessel also won't start working on a shipment if it already has other cargoes loaded. A cargo is considered to be part of a shipment if it has a shipment number associated with it, even if it is the only cargo in the shipment.

  2. There is no checkbox or setting to turn co-loading on or off, but if the user does not want co-loading, they can assign shipment numbers. Because of the rules described above, that will prevent co-loading.
