SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS Worldscale Launches Electronic Freight Schedule In cooperation with energy infor- mation solutions specialist Saladin, the Worldscale Associations in London and New York have produced an electronic version of the annual tanker freight schedule, dubbed Worldscaleplus. The new electronic system will be available as of January 1, 1998, and will contain all the rates and supporting information published in the schedule. Designed to increase the efficiency of retrieving rates, the new Windows-based sys- tem will enable users to retrieve all voyage information, including fixed and variable rate differen- tials and charterers' account items. Worldscaleplus will enable users to add unpublished rates, user notes and reference tags for commonly used voyages or ports.

Addressing the "Millennium Bomb," date fields have been revised to accommodate four-digit years instead of two, ensuring accurate scheduling of future events.
