Voyage Cost Calculation

This module is currently in the test phase.

It is not necessary to fill all the values. Empty values are assumed to be zero except in case of expected life of ship where 25 years is assumed.

Engine SFOC curve can be provided so that correct fuel consumption can be calculated for given engine load. fuel_consumption.txt should consist of two columns. First column listing percentage engine loads and second column should contain corresponding SFOC values in g/kWh. If the file is not provided then engine SFOC is assumed constant (160 g/kWh) for all engine loads.

Example file for SFOC curve.
