## Description

This MCP server provides advanced analytical tools to optimize tanker fleet operations. It allows users to calculate the necessary capacity for specific oil volumes using `analyze_demand_requirements`, determine the most efficient combination of vessel sizes with `calculate_optimal_vessel_mix`, and decide between owned or chartered capacity via `optimize_charter_strategy`. Additionally, users can test fleet resilience against market volatility using `simulate_fleet_utilization`.

## Tools

### analyze_demand_requirements
Analyzes oil demand requirements across specific routes and timeframes

### calculate_optimal_vessel_mix
Calculates the best combination of vessel sizes to meet demand

### optimize_charter_strategy
Determines the most cost-effective strategy for using owned vs chartered vessels

### simulate_fleet_utilization
Simulates how the fleet and charter plan perform under seasonality

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total capacity needed for 500,000 barrels from Route A to Route B over 30 days?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total capacity required for the specified route and volume is 500,000 barrels, with a peak demand period identified in the first 10 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Should I charter more vessels if market rates are low?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the current market rates and your owned fleet cost, a Charter-Heavy strategy is recommended to minimize total estimated costs.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What happens to my fleet utilization if market volatility increases by 50%?
```

**Response:** 
```
With a seasonality factor of 1.5, your utilization rate is projected to be 85% with a capacity buffer of 15,000 barrels to prevent service failures.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the required vessel capacity?**
You can use the `analyze_demand_requirements` tool by providing your oil volumes, routes, and timeframes to get a summary of total capacity needed.

**Can I simulate market volatility?**
Yes, the `simulate_fleet_utilization` tool allows you to apply a seasonality factor to see how your fleet and charter plan perform during demand surges.

**How is the vessel mix decided?**
The `calculate_optimal_vessel_mix` tool analyzes demand and available capacities to suggest a combination that minimizes unused space and maximizes efficiency.
