When enabled, if a user searches for a Vessel in an Estimate that does not already exist in the database, instead of asking the user to create a new Vessel, they will have the option to import from configured external vessel data sources.
CFGAutovslAddFuelTypes	When enabled, for vessels already existing in the Veslink IMOS Platform, any fuel types existing in an external system but not in the Platform are added to the vessel upon import. Otherwise, external data for fuel types missing in the Platform is ignored.
