Trading

Multiple Carbon Allowance Trade Settlements UPDATE

This is an additional solution and requires a separate license. You must have the General Trading Module Right selected. Access to other forms and actions also requires specific Module Rights. Your configuration might differ from the information shown. Requires user permissions for Carbon Allowance Trades.

Carbon Allowance Trade Settlement Invoices can now be created in batches of Buys and Sells, following similar requirements as the current paper trades.

11 April 2025

Operations

Remarks column now available in the Voyage P&L NEW FEATURE

Requires a schema version of 484 or higher and the configuration flag CFGEnableVoyPnlLineItemRemarks must be enabled.

A new column is added to the Voyage P&L in the Operations View, where remarks can be captured at a line-item level on the voyage when the configuration flag CFGEnableVoyPnlLineItemRemarks is enabled. These remarks will be stored in the database and visible to anyone who has access to the voyage.

Financials

Financials Invoice button Added to the TCI Payment and Bareboat Form NEW FEATURE

You now have access to the Financial Invoice directly from the TC and Bareboat Payment forms by clicking on the Financials Invoice button. This enables more streamlined navigation between the Operations and Financials modules.

EU ETS Cash/Allowance Settlement in Hire Statements UPDATE

Cash settlements for the EU ETS are now integrated into Hire Statements, Statements of Accounts (SOA), and Statement of Accounts Recap, enhancing the efficiency of the invoicing process. You can now issue cash invoices through the standard hire invoice system.

4 April 2025

Data Center

Minimize IWL/INL Zones Routing in Distances maps UPDATE

The Distances standalone maps now have a new option, Minimize IWL/INL Zones Routing, that you can select to reduce IWL/INL zones routing. In Distances, under Load Lines, select the Minimize IWL/INL Zones Routing checkbox in the dropdown list to apply these changes to the map.

March

28 March 2025

Financials

Carbon Allowance Period Transfers NEW FEATURE

Carbon Allowance Period Transfers has been added to the Financials module under Period Closing. You can now allocate carbon allowances in bulk instead of manually creating allowance transfers for each invoice. To access the new form, go to Data Center > Security > Access rights > Financials > Period Closing and select the checkbox for the new security permission, Carbon Allowance Period Transfers.

When this functionality is selected, a new form appears that lists Carbon Allowance Invoices, and available Carbon Allowance trades in inventory can be generated using the Date, Strategy, and Company filters. From this form, Carbon Allowance Transfer Journals can be automatically created using the available inventory and open invoices. The balances are applied using a Weighted Average Cost method to determine the transfer price.

21 March 2025

Invoicing & Payments

FuelEU costs included in the Hire Statement, Statement of Account, and SOA Recap reports UPDATE

Requires a schema version of 478 or higher.

FuelEU agreed costs are now displayed in the Hire Statement, Statement of Account (SOA), and SOA Recap reports in Time Charter and Head Fixture contracts. While the Hire Statement displays invoiced and un-invoiced FuelEU costs from linked voyages, SOA, and SOA recap reports display only the costs invoiced in the contracts.

14 March 2025

Operations

Improved Logic for Lifting Level Emissions UPDATE

Requires a schema version of 479 or higher and the configuration flag CFGEnableFuelEU must be enabled.

The Lifting Level Emissions logic in the Carbon Calculator is now improved, so the FuelEU penalty remains accurate when a bunker lifting is completed but tested emission factors have not been received. When Bunker Purchase Fuel Factors are enabled but no values are entered, the Carbon Calculator will use the Default Fuel Type values from the Data Center.

Chartering

EU ETS Cash Settlement supported on TC Payments UPDATE

Requires the configuration flags CFGEnableCO2Pricing and CFGEnableTCEmissionsAllocation to be enabled, and the schema version must be greater than 433.

You can include Cash emissions invoices in Time Charter In and Time Charter Out payments once the invoice status is set to Actual. In a Time Charter Payment, under Create/Add Details, select the Emission checkbox and choose from the available invoices shown in the Emissions grid of the Item Select form. Select OK and save the Time Charter Payment. Once saved, the selected emissions invoices appear on the Time Charter Payment form, and the invoice status is Posted, preventing further edits. This feature supports incremental payment types.

7 March 2025

Data Center

ECA Breakdown in the Voyage Summary UPDATE

The Voyage Summary panel on the Distances Map now has an ECA Breakdown dropdown list. This feature provides a detailed breakdown of ECA miles per ECA zone. You can now use the checkboxes by each ECA zone to deselect specific zones and exclude their miles from the total ECA miles calculation.

Trading

New Invoiced status for Carbon Allowance Trades UPDATE

This is an additional solution and requires a separate license. You must have the General Trading Module Right selected. Access to other forms and actions also requires specific Module Rights. Your configuration might differ from the information shown. Requires user permissions for Carbon Allowance Trades.

Carbon Allowances with Posted invoices show an Invoiced status in the Carbon Allowance List and form, allowing you to see which confirmed trades require further action and which do not. The Invoiced status is automatically set when the Trade Settlement Invoice is created and posted. Historical trades that have been invoiced update automatically.

February

28 February 2025

Trading

Percent column and Days/Month column added to the FFA/Option List UPDATE

This is an additional solution and requires a separate license. You must have the General Trading Module Right selected. Access to other forms and actions also requires specific Module Rights. Your configuration might differ from the information shown.

Two new columns, Days/Month and Percent, are available in the Trading > FFA/Option List view. The new columns populate with a value if either is selected on the FFA/Option Trade page.

Demurrage

Improved logic for Despatch Period Allocation UPDATE

Requires the configuration flag CFGApplyDespatchToAccrualsPeriod.

The calculation logic for Alloc Days and Alloc % in the Period Allocation form has been modified for reversible Despatch calculations. In a calculation with a combination of ports on demurrage and despatch, the allocation is done fully to the last port in the calculation. If all the ports in a calculation are on Despatch, the resulting despatch amount is allocated to all the ports, prorated based on the quantity of cargo handled at those ports.

21 February 2025

Chartering

Default FuelEU Calculation on the Emissions Tab UPDATE

Requires a schema version of 479 or higher, and the configuration flags CFGDefaultFuelEUCalcType and CFGEnableFuelEU must be enabled.

You can now set a default FuelEU Calc option on Time Charter and Cargo contracts under the Emissions Tab by enabling the configuration flag CFGDefaultFuelEUCalcType. When the Calc option is set to N/A (default), no FuelEU Penalty expense lines appear. When the Calc option is set to Penalty, Voyage P&L expenses for FuelEU Penalty appear.

14 February 2025

Chartering

FuelEU Cargo Contract Invoicing NEW FEATURE

Requires a schema version of 479 or higher.

You can now include FuelEU costs in the Freight Invoice when they are calculated on the voyage. In the Freight Invoice, select Add Details to incorporate the FuelEU costs. When you select the checkbox, FuelEU costs appear as a line item in the Freight Adjustment table.

When a freight invoice includes an initial FuelEU amount that changes throughout the voyage, you can raise an incremental invoice incorporating the difference between the originally invoiced amount and the new amount. The updated expense is automatically added back to the adjustment grid.

Operations

Improve TCE calculation with a separate P&L section for Linked Trades NEW FEATURE

Requires the configuration flag CFGLinkedTradesPnLSection.

You can now separate Linked Trades from the overall Voyage P&L by enabling the new configuration flag CFGLinkedTradesPnLSection. When the configuration flag is enabled, Linked Trades on the Voyage P&L appear in their own section and will not impact the TCE.
