Objective

Learn how to create and compare multiple voyage simulations at different speeds or power settings to make informed charter and operational decisions.

What You'll Accomplish

• Create multiple simulations with varying speeds or power settings
• Compare fuel consumption, duration, and costs across options
• Evaluate weather exposure at different transit speeds
• Make data-driven decisions for charter party speed selection
• Analyze trade-offs between speed, costs, and voyage duration

Before You Start

Ensure you have:

• Your voyage route loaded in the simulator
• Charter party speed options or operational requirements
• Current fuel costs (VLSFO/MGO as applicable)
• Any weather or safety constraints for the voyage

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create Your Baseline Simulation

• Import or create your route (e.g., Tianjin → Port Hedland)
• Select your simulation parameter:
  • Speed over ground (knots)
  • RPM (revolutions per minute)
  • % MCR (percentage of Maximum Continuous Rating)
