There are definitely bonuses attached to tonnage performance.
If the customer requires 1 Million tonnes this season, the companies do incentivize the meeting of their customer's goals. Some Captain's performance bonus is in the same ballpark as signing bonuses.[/quote]
That may be true at some companies, but not all. If the ship is directed by a traffic office on which cargoes to carry, how could his choices impact how much tonnage is carried. There may be a performance bonus influenced by how well the company does... but it likely isn't tied to a certain vessels' tons carried. The Captain isn't dispatching the vessel.
