New in Sustainability: Additional voyage legs included in the Carbon Calculator
To improve the accuracy of emissions calculations, the system now adds an additional leg to the Carbon Calculator itinerary grid under these three conditions:
...
When you select the ROBs Required checkbox, you must reset the master data to apply the change. API submission will block Statement of Facts forms that lack ROBs for the associated activities.
To enable offline form validation, you must send new forms to the vessels. For onboard validation, you must run replication.

On Estimate and Voyage Itineraries, a new “CO2” column enables you to capture CO2 emitted per leg. When evaluating voyage options, you can minimize the EEOI impact of a voyage by choosing the lowest estimated CO2 emissions.
Trading Profile Option: Display ROB Exposure Based on Future Scheduling
Requires the Trading module
On the Trading Profile form, the logic behind the “Display ROB Exposure Based on Future Scheduling" option has been updated to better handle TCTO voyages, specifically the delivery exposure and capturing the net between that and the leading TCOV ROBs.
