The TC In COA form includes the following sections:

  • Shipments: The number of shipments contracted within the Start and End period. It also represents the number of Time Charter (TC) contracts in the COA.

  • Vessels: Specific vessels the charterer has agreed to

  • Vessel Types: Vessel types to fulfill the contract

Many fields (e.g. Payment Terms, Billing Period, Billing Schedule) on the TC In COAs form can be left blank and then adjusted at the individual Time Charter contract level. If you adjust this information on the TC In COA form, it will also show up on the individual Time Charter contracts.

Toolbar

Use tools on the toolbar to create, retrieve, save, copy, or delete records.

Exposure Tab

On the Exposure tab, you can enter the Exposure information as it will be processed in the Trading module. If a contract of affreightment (COA) has been created but does not yet have any shipments, the theoretical shipments will be put in the Exposure tab, as long as the status of the contract is confirmed.

The Time Charter R oute and Correlation used for the Mark-to-Market of the Time Charter is taken from the Vessel Type if details in the Exposure tab are not completed. Otherwise, if you select a Route in the Exposure tab, this Route will be used for the Mark-to-Market.

  • Using the TC Exposure Periods table, you can mark your positions to market based on multiple routes for different periods.

  • Using the Bunker Exposure table, you can track hedging your bunkers for delivery and redelivery against a forward curve: Enter the bunker symbols to be used for the Mark-to-Market of the delivery and redelivery bunkers.

  • Using the Unavailable Days table, you can specify the number of days that the vessel is planned to be unavailable. This value is reflected as Weighted Days in the Trading P&L Summary and Trade Details list.

Linked Shipments Tab

On the Linked Shipments tab, you can view and open linked shipments that have been created. When you select a linked shipment to open it, you will be directed to the Time Charter contracts that are linked to the COA.
