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.

Some background

Cargoes are loaded and discharged in cargo ports and these cargo ports are linked to the port calls you find in the voyages schedule.

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.

A transshipment is the shipment of cargo to an intermediate destination, then by a different vessel to another destination. It is a type of relet created from a cargo booking from a particular discharge port at the end of an original booking.

A preshipment is another type of relet created from a cargo booking. It is the shipment of cargo from a location to that cargo's load port in an existing cargo booking. This includes the transfer to the vessel transporting from the load port.

Transshipments and preshipments are listed at the bottom of the cargo drawer under "Relets and Transshipments".

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.

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 cargo's 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".

Transferring a Cargo

1. Open a cargo drawer.

2. At the top right in the cargo drawer, click Moreand select Transfer.

3. Fill in the form fields:

   1. Owner of the vessel to transship the cargo.

   2. Final discharge port of the transfer.

   3. Second vessel to transport the cargo.

   4. Second voyage to transport the cargo.

4. Click Transfer.

The discharge port of the original cargo will be the load port of the transfer cargo.

Voyage schedule indicator

The voyage schedule section will show an icon next to the days in port, indicating whether the port calls of a transfer is scheduled at the same time. If the vessel handing over the cargo is set to arrive later than the vessel loading the cargo, the transfer is indicated as "broken".
