What the demo shows
Tests a charterer’s speed and consumption claim day by day against the charter, for shipowners
Seven agents run every noon-report day of the passage through the charter’s good-weather tests, using the deck log for the safety periods the clause excludes, wind and adverse current, and order an independent hindcast where the log and the weather model disagree. On the days the clause counts they measure speed and fuel against the warranty and its “about” allowance, and a challenger playing the charterer’s routing analyst attacks the answer first, catching readings such as main-engine fuel only. The claims manager decides contested points such as the allowance and signs the owner’s answer, and the head of chartering co-signs.
