Clickin the "Order Lines" section to create a new order line.
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.

NOTE: Defaults will not be set for port calls that already have bunker order tied to it.
Bunker orders can be located in three ways:
From "Booking and Operations" module
Find the voyage and port in "Booking and Operations" module and click the "Bunker Orders" button there. The list of all bunker orders for that port call will show.
From the list of bunker orders using filters
Having the list of bunker orders open in the Bunker Management application you can use filters to find the bunker order you are looking for.
From the Bunker Requirement list
Filter the bunker requirement list as per above to locate the bunker order. This list will show all bunker order lines across all bunker orders.
Deleting a bunker order entirely removes the order and all its history. This option is suitable when a bunker order is cancelled, or the entire port call or voyage is cancelled.
Click the delete button from the action menu. If the bunker order is not cancelled prior to this...then the delete button will not be active in the menu.
Precautions:
Any assembled bunker invoices in Accounts Payable have to be "Un-Assembled".
Any posted bunker invoices in Accounts Payable have to be "Reversed"
Only "Cancelled" bunker orders can be deleted.
You are able to keep in control of all your organisations inserted cargoes using the cargo module in VMS.
When a bunkering is canceled, the bunker order needs to be either canceled or deleted.
Click a bunker order in the Bunker Orders module list.
When the drawer opens, open the action menuin the top right.
Click the Cancel button to cancel the bunker order.
Canceling a bunker order will update and recalculate the ROB figures and bunker prices on the voyage. The voyage result will be impacted.
Click a cargo in the Cargoes module list.
When the drawer opens, open the action menuin the top right.
Click the Allocate Cargo button to open a dialog for allocation.
In the dialog, select Vessel and Voyage you want to allocate the cargo to. A preview of the voyage schedule will then show the cargo ports to the left and voyage port calls to the right, as in the screen capture below. The allocation will be done using the existing port calls on the voyage if they match the cargo ports. If no port calls and cargo ports match, additional port calls will be created on the voyage. These new port calls are denoted with "Adds New Port Call".
Click Allocate to allocate the cargo and create any new necessary port calls on the voyage.
From the list of users using filters
Having the list of users open in the User Administration application you can use filters to find inactive users by toggling the Deleted Items switch.

One port call can be linked to:
no cargo port - for port calls to Bunkering, Canal Passages etc.
one cargo port - when loading/discharging one cargo
more than one cargo port - when loading/discharging more than one cargo
When deleting a cargo the link between the cargo ports and port calls will define what options you will see in the delete cargo window.
When deleting a cargo which has cargo ports linked to a port calls which are linked to some other cargos cargo ports you will get a simple confirmation message before cargo is deleted as per below
The same confirmation message will always be shown for unallocated cargoes.
The Timeline shows the voyages schedule on the right side and the cargo ports of the cargo you are about to delete on the left side.
When deleting a cargo which has cargo ports linked to port calls which are not linked to any other cargoes cargo port you will get option to also delete the linked port calls. This makes it easier to keep your schedule clean and correct.

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.
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".
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.
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.
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:
The voyage is marked with this trade or its performance cargo belongs to the trade.
The voyage has arrival date in the first load port within the selected month.
A cargo transfer is a type of transshipment where a cargo transported on two voyages. The cargo is transported on the first voyage to one port and then further transported on a second voyage to its final port.
You start with a cargo with a load and discharge port which represents the first part of the cargoes journey (on the first voyage). From a system perspective, the action "transfer" creates a new cargo for the second part of the journey (on the second voyage). The two cargoes are synchronised such that e.g. the cargo quantity on the two is always the same.
Transfer cargoes are listed at the bottom of the cargo drawer under "Relets and Transshipments".
Open a cargo drawer.
At the top right in the cargo drawer, click Moreand select Transfer.
Fill in the form fields:
Owner of the vessel to transship the cargo.
Final discharge port of the transfer.
Second vessel to transport the cargo.
Second voyage to transport the cargo.
Click Transfer.
The discharge port of the original cargo will be the load port of the transfer cargo.
To efficiently create a cargo you can use a CoA Template or a Budget Template.
CoA Templates are the template cargoes that are maintained in the CoA module.
Budget Templates are cargoes that come from the budget.
