Bug EN-41165

Trading 

When the "Include TC ROB Bunker Exposure" flag is set in the Trading Profile, changes have been made to update the ROB calculation to handle TCTO voyage ballast legs. Now when a TCTO voyage has a ballast leg and there is a window where the voyage will be commenced and the vessel is delivered to the TCO Charterer, the bunker tons in exposure for the delivery should reflect the net of what is calculated to be onboard the vessel (ROB) at the time of delivery and the delivery quantity from the TC Out Contract.

The Long bunker position for the ROB will continue to show up under the TC In contract line item while the Short delivery bunkers will still show up under the TC Out contract.

When bunkers are pre-purchased for the Charterer prior to Delivery of the vessel to them, this will be accounted for in the ROB calculation as it will be included as part of the delivery quantity.
