    Viewing and Managing Deviated Voyages

    The Senior Operator views the Voyage Analysis Dashboard to identify voyages with deviations on voyages waiting to be operationally closed.

    • The Operator views the voyage analysis dashboard to identify voyages with problems – highlighted at the top of the Deviations tab. Below the Deviations tab the User locates a tab listing voyages with acknowledged deviations and a tab with voyages without deviations.

    • The Senior Operator creates and saves filters to ensure that only the voyages, operators and vessels he/she are responsible for will display at the next login.

    • The Senior Operator starts at the top with the most important voyages, discusses with an Operator why there is a deviation, returns to the voyage analysis dashboard to add a comment/remark about why. The procedure is repeated until only voyages with current good results are left.

    • The Senior Operator may also change the sensitivity to see possible impact on changes. He/she may also open detailed graphs displaying voyage progression alongside entered remarks and view the audit log history of any actual changes made. Any remarks made by an Operator explaining the difference in numbers are also registered. A Senior Operator must then only acknowledge that the figures have been seen. If the Senior Operator can also view the Post Voyage Analysis for more detailed information of any voyage.

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

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.

    Capacity Plan

    The capacity plan gives you a monthly overview if your fleet is over or under booked with cargoes. For each months and each trade, we 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. You also filter to restrict the view to a particular set of trades.

    The are three summary cards at the top displaying information on all trades selected in the filter :

    • Free capacity: Total deadweight - total weight

    • 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. The latter takes only cargoes into account which 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.
