Improvements have been made in Market Insights Filtering logic. To ensure the vessel data powered by Oceanbolt is best represented in the vessel type filter, validate vessel types in the data center have Type Codes assigned to each of the Vessel type rows.

While reviewing Veson Vessel Types in the data center it is also worth noting the same benefit occurs for the map filters when assigning DWT ranges (CFGCaptureVesselTypeDWTRanges) to each vessel type.
