Just-in-Time Arrival

Quantify fuel and CO₂ avoided by reducing speed on a leg so that the ship arrives at the pilot-station at the agreed time instead of steaming flat-out and then waiting at anchor.

Formula, assumptions, and limits

JIT converts what would have been anchor time into useful steaming time at a lower speed. Main-engine fuel falls cubically; auxiliary burn is broadly unchanged whether the ship is at anchor or steaming, so the AE term is small.
