Welcome to the main source of information on the Dataloy product suite. {% hint style="success" %} **🚀 You're viewing the Release 8.32 preview** #### Voyage Alternatives & Commercial Decision-Making Chartering users can now add optional load and discharge ports to a single-cargo voyage and have VMS automatically generate valid voyage alternatives. Each alternative combines the relevant optional ports while retaining the same vessel, cargo details, ballast origin, and any fixed ports from the base voyage. **Compare Voyage Economics Across Alternative Ports.** Generated alternatives can be compared using their individual Voyage Result and TCE, making the commercial impact of different port combinations immediately visible. Charterers can select specific combinations to evaluate, and VMS applies the relevant port costs, loading and discharging rates, and terms for each option. Users can also reverse-calculate freight rates from a target TCE across multiple alternatives at once, or adjust the freight rate or TCE for an individual scenario. #### Voyage Performance & Market Analysis Business Controllers can now calculate a Market Adjusted Result for a voyage, helping separate the result generated through trading decisions from the impact of changes in the vessel market. Using the vessel’s Market Value and a new Market Value Adjustment, VMS calculates the Market Adjusted Result by comparing the preliminary voyage estimate with the actual voyage result and on-hire days. The result automatically updates as actual voyage contribution or on-hire days change, providing greater insight into what drove the final voyage result. #### Contract & System Data Users can now indicate when a vessel is Owned on a TC In contract, providing a clear distinction between owned, bareboat, and other chartered-in tonnage. The new Owned field is available on TC In contracts alongside the existing Bareboat option (a contract can be marked as either Owned or Bareboat, but not both). This is particularly useful when vessels are relet between internal companies. A new Voyage Reference Numbering option is available for customers who need to align voyage references with ERP and other external system requirements. The new format structures the voyage reference as Vessel Code + Company Code + Year + Voyage Number, providing a flexible alternative to the existing Company Code-first format and simplifying integration across connected business systems. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.dataloy.com/master.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
