### Features:

* After choosing a vessel, the previous Port on the Vessel will be set as Ballast Port. This can be overridden by entering another Port, if  no Ballast Port is set then the first Load Port will be used.
* Entering Stowage Factor, Quantity or Volume will automatically recalculate the others.  If Commodity is selected the Stowage Factor will default from the Commodity.&#x20;
