Create Bunker Orders

This is done in your java client of the VMS.

Create from a port call

A bunker order can efficiently be added directly from "Booking And Operations" module (in your java client VMS) when having a port call in focus. Either based on the bunker estimates registered, or straight as a bunker order requirement.

Select the port call where you are bunkering and click the "Create new Bunker Order" button from the menu.

A dialog will show a bunker order with the details filled out from the estimates, if there are no estimates please fill in all the details of the bunker order such as Bunker Type, Min/Max quantity, assumed bunker price and supplier.

If you add estimates for several bunker types, all types will be defaulted when you create a bunker order.

NOTE: Defaults will not be set for port calls that already have bunker order tied to it.

Voyage Analysis Dashboard

The Voyage Analysis Dashboard was established to give Senior Operator’s (primarily operations and chartering managers) visibility over day to day voyage operations and their possible deviations. This to enable faster reaction from staff to problems and deviations in voyages. Ship owners can get an early warning for a number of selected voyages operated by different operators and be able to identify and react quickly to problems and deviations. Daily snapshots are automatically taken for every voyage in progress. The main dashboard window displays voyage figures with deviations on voyages waiting to be operationally closed.

Red = deviation has negative impact on voyage result Blue = deviation has positive impact on voyage result Black = no impact on voyage result

    Capacity Plan

    The capacity plan gives you a monthly overview if your fleet is over- or under-booked with cargoes. For each month and trade, you can compare the available cargoes to the capacity in your fleet which is serving that trade.

    To open the Capacity Plan, go to Chartering > Cargoes and select Capacity Plan in the top bar.

    Overview

    You can navigate between the current month and future months at the top of the dashboard.

    The are three summary cards displaying information on:

    • Free capacity: Remaining deadweight tonnage, summing all vessels and cargoes for the selected month.

    • Deadweight: Total deadweight of vessels loading in the selected month.

    • Weight: Total weight of cargoes with laydays commencement in the selected month.

    For free capacity and weight, we distinguish between total values and "fixed" values. "Fixed" takes into account only cargoes that have status "Clean Fix".

    Trade panels

    An expandable panel is shown for each trade, with totals for that trade. There are two lists inside the panel, one for cargoes by charterer and one for vessels.

    Cargoes by charterer

    In each trade panel there is a list of total cargo weight and volume grouped by charterer. Only cargoes where laydays commencement lies in the selected month are counted.

    All "fixed" charterer cargo totals are listed first, while "not fixed" entries are indicated in grey.

    Vessels

    In each trade panel there is a list of vessels. For each voyage in the master fleetplan, the vessel that voyage is allocated to is listed if the following two criteria are met:

    1. The voyage is marked with this trade or its performance cargo belongs to the trade.

    2. The voyage has arrival date in the first load port within the selected month.
