New “State” value for Canadian ports Update

We are now maintaining the “State” property on ports as part of the Distances upgrade process. We have started by adding a "State" value for a number of existing Canadian ports that reflects the province the port resides in. We will populate the State value of more Canadian and United States ports over time.

FuelEU Compliance Breakeven Calculation New Feature

The FuelEU tab of the Carbon Calculator now supports a feature to show the breakeven point at which the compliance balance becomes zero by replacing non-compliant fuel with compliant fuel. This calculation is an estimation tool that simulates the compliant fuel amount consumed and non-compliant fuel replaced on a voyage to reach zero compliance. This feature requires activating the new configuration flag CFGFuelEUComplianceBreakevenCalc.

Support added for calculating cargo exposure when using Worldscale freight and market rate Update

When a cargo contract has:

• a freight type of W (Worldscale),

• an exposure method of “Voyage Route,” and

• a selected route with a unit of Worldscale,

IMOS will use the Worldscale flat rate on the contract to calculate the exposure. The exposure will be calculated as the difference between the contract Worldscale flat rate × the contract Worldscale percent and the contract Worldscale flat rate × the market Worldscale percent for the period.

Link a carbon allowance sale to a purchase and include it as an allocation new feature

You can now link a Carbon Allowance Sell Trade to one or more matching Buy Trades so the available inventory of specific trades can be updated correctly. This feature uses the existing Allocation tabs in the Carbon Allowance trade, where you can select the buy/sell trade you want to link to and then choose the quantity to link. As with transfers, you cannot allocate a greater quantity from the buy than is available at that time. Linking the sell trade to the buy updates the available quantity of the trade so it can be correctly linked to other trades or contracts in the system. The exposure for the buy trade updates to reflect the remaining trade quantity.
