Info

Requires the Trading & Risk module or Market Data Access license. You must have the Trade Route Module Right selected.

Trade Routes are typically defined by the market (by the data provider) or by your internal risk management team. Trade Routes are based on Vessel Type and have different units of measure ($/day, $/ton, $/mt, or Worldscale), usually based on the area or the start and end points endpoints of the itinerary.

Before a Trade Route is defined, ensure that the Market and Market Index exist for the specific route.
