Saved voyage cost and delay arithmetic
Read the explanation
The saved shipping scenario adds two ten freight and one forty-five transfer charge, then subtracts fixed three-cent efficiency offset, giving three fifty-two per barrel. Bars compare freight two ten with transfer-minus-offset one forty-two at two hundred pixels per per-barrel dollar. Routes, prices and geopolitical claims are source assumptions, not verified current logistics or risk evidence. Four hundred fifty thousand assumed daily barrels times three fifty-two gives one million five hundred eighty-four thousand. The code adds entered thousands of barrels times five, another two thousand two hundred fifty, giving one million five hundred eighty-six thousand two hundred fifty. Bars compare cost before and after handling at point zero zero zero three pixels per dollar. This is a calibrated scenario, not a verified invoice. Entered alternate distance one hundred eighty nautical miles divided by twelve rounds to fifteen navigation hours. Adding fixed twenty-one transfer-cycle hours yields thirty-six. Bars compare navigation and total at fifteen pixels per hour. The executable formula uses one distance factor, not a doubled round trip. Real vessel speeds, delays and routing safety are unverified.
