Simple Pendulum Pattern Rationalization
The total leg for a façade is 400 units (4 times 100). The first destination port is located at a distance of 10,400, the second port of destination at distance of 10,500 etc. The last port at the façade of destination is located at a distance 10,800 from the first port. Thus, the total voyage distance is 10,800. At every port the vessel would arrive at it would be less loaded, so the transportation costs should be calculated not by the actual distances, but by the longest. With no feeder vessels needed, the transportation costs for this voyage would be 16,100,000.
