# Cargo Management Board

The Cargo Management Board displays all allocated voyages and the cargos allocated to them. It also shows the unallocated cargos in **Cargo Commitments** column. For details on the Vessel Open Positions, voyage cards and board settings, see [Open Positions Board](/fleet-allocation-and-scheduling/getting-started/planning/fleet-plans/open-positions-board.md).

### Board Layout

The Cargo Management Board displays all cargos belonging to the selected scenario. In the left-most column, we display the *unallocated cargos* (Cargo Commitments column), which are cargos that have not yet been allocated to a voyage. The other columns display *voyage cards* with the cargoes allocated to them.‌

#### Unallocated Cargos‌

Each cargo contains the fields:

<table><thead><tr><th data-type="number">Reference</th><th>Fields</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Charterer</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Cargo Reference</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Cargo Booking Status</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Trade</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Cargo Ports (both L and D)</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Commodity</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Laydays Start to End Dates</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Quantity and Measurement Unit</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Cargoes on the Voyage Card‌

The right side of the Cargo Management Board contains all the a*llocated voyages* and their cargos. On the right side of a voyage card, the cargo cards allocated (or dragged) to the voyage are displayed. Each cargo displays the Charterer, Gross Weight and Cargo Status, while illustrating graphically the Load Ports and Discharge Ports. These cargos can be moved by *dragging and dropping* between the voyages of the same Trade:

The *Additional ports* icon indicates how many more ports are "hidden" on the voyage. You can use the [settings](/fleet-allocation-and-scheduling/getting-started/planning/fleet-plans/open-positions-board.md#settings) tool to adjust them accordingly.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
With this newer design of the cargos on the voyage card, you will be able to graphically see at what ports a cargo has its Load- and Discharge ports. You can easily track all the Port Call rows of the cargo by looking at the vertical *span* of the specific cargo (the blue area). It is also possible to scroll to the right to see all the cargoes allocated on the same Port Calls. If the ports are "hidden", they will display as shown above.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

#### Laydays and Arrival Window Indicators

![Indicator Lines](/files/-Ma7y-KZhccSINKWTG2i)

The Cargo Cards also has indication lines to help you interpret the Laydays and Arrival Windows for each cargo, graphically.‌

**Laydays:** indication line at the top of the cargo.\
**Arrival Window:** indication line at the bottom of the cargo.‌

**Color indicator:**&#x200C;

* if **early**: blue
* if **late**: red
* if **on time**: normal / no color&#x20;

#### Tooltips

By hovering over a cargo card or on a *port call row*, a tooltip can be viewed. Fields in the tooltip that contain no data are hidden:

![Tooltip for a Cargo Card](/files/-Mb1I0oZl9EuN57eZXQt)

![Tooltip for a Port Call Row](/files/-Mb1IK68mcyskS3M35H8)

Note: for TC voyages, the 'First Load Port' and 'Last Dis. Port' is replaced with 'Delivery Port' and 'Redelivery Port'.&#x20;

The following fields are available within the cargo card- and port call tooltips:
