Every leg, closed on the record.
From full away to end of passage: how the ship performed on the days that count, against her sea trial and her charter party.
01The leg
One leg at a time.
Choose the leg, a sea passage or port to port, and the analysis is drawn for that leg alone. It is the record of one voyage, read on its own terms.
02The days that count
Performance is judged only where it can be judged fairly.
That means the days the weather stayed within the good-weather terms of the charter party. The other days are shown in full, and set aside from the comparison.
03Two references
Against her sea trial
The ship measured against herself.
Speed and fuel compared with the ship’s own trial: the trial after her latest docking where there is one, otherwise her sea trial.
Against the charter party
The ship measured against her promise.
The same days compared with the speed and consumption the charter party warrants.
04The result
One table, two charts.
Speed and fuel, each deviation shown with the days and the reference behind it.
05Questions
Asked after arrival.
When is it calculated?
When you ask for it. Choose the leg and the figures are drawn on demand.
What if a reference is missing?
The comparison is left open and marked as missing. Nothing is put in its place.
Does it replace a performance claim?
No. It sets out the deviation and its basis. How a claim is argued stays between the parties and their charter party.
