You can create different fuel consumption configurations (modes) under a single vessel , and assign these to existing vessels. These modes can be selected on your estimate and voyage itinerary to allow you to customize which fuel types, daily port, and sea consumption rate with the mode you would like to consume at.
For example, as a Charterer or Operator, you may want to plan and accommodate for different vessel consumption behaviors. Selecting the fuel mode that reflects the expected or actual consumption would allow you to do this.
Suggested workflow
We recommend that you set up the fuel modes before creating the estimate. To do this, begin with creating the fuel mode, then create the estimate, select the fuel mode to use for the voyage, and schedule the voyage. If the itinerary changes, you can edit fuel modes on the voyage, and that will update your estimated consumption.
