    title How Are Exposure Tons Calculated for TCI?
    Exposure tons are calculated using the following: TC Vessel Deadweight Region Turnover Ratio (The number of voyages in the region that the ship could be expected to perform over a month; defaults to 1, but can be defined in Trade Areas). TC days in the period Example calculation: 30K MT DWT ship is TCed in for 15 days in a month of 30 days into SE Asia, where 2 voyages are expected to be done in 30 days 30K MT * (15 days TC/30 days in month) * 2 voyages/mo = 30K MT exposure tons

    
    

  • Bunker Tons: Exposure to the bunker market, in tonnage. For bunker contracts, this is the contract quantity. For freight contracts, it is the estimated or projected quantity.
  • Bunker Exposure: The unrealized P&L that relates to the exposure on the Bunker Market.
  • TC Exposure: The unrealized P&L that relates to the exposure on the Freight Market.
  • Net Exposure: The sum of Bunker Exposure and TC Exposure.
  • TCE: The TCE of the contract, calculated using the Exposure Days and the market prices.
  • Long TCE: The weighted average of TCE, with the Exposure Days for only the Long positions.
  • Short TCE: The weighted average of TCE, with the Exposure Days for only the Short positions.
  • Contract TCE: The TCE, either the contract TC rate or the calculated TCE using estimated or projected bunker prices from the contract. This is in contrast to the TCE value, where the calculation is done using the market bunker rates.
  • Exposure Count: The number of contracts that have exposure in this period. Next to the count, click the Details link to open the Trade Details List.
  • Fixed: The estimated Voyage P&L for contracts with Fixed status. Exposure is locked in.

  • Unrealized P&L: The amount that has not been settled.
  • Realized P&L: The amount that has been settled.
  • Net P&L: The sum of Net Exposure plus Fixed and Sailed amounts.
