On the map: Noon, every vessel report in one place
Drop any vessel file on the map (a voyage log, ship particulars, a noon report in Excel, a route) and SeaLagom reads it, works out speed, distance to go, ETA, fuel on board and slip, and checks every figure. Write noon reports in your own Excel layout, AMVER, SISTRAM, UKMTO and other standard reports, and compare your fleet.
