Matching enables you to view vessel and cargo positions in one location; it consists of a Vessel Positions list and a Cargo Book list. You can add market positions to Matching from Inbox and Market Positions; owned positions are added from TC In, TC Out, and Cargo contracts. When you find a good position to work with, you can create or open a Worksheet in Estimates.
