Getting Started

Getting Started

In Fleet Allocation and Scheduling (FAS) you can work on voyages in the planning phase and allocate them to vessels. Available voyages and vessels are:

Voyages with status

• Scheduled (Unallocated)

• Scheduled (Allocated)

• Nominated

Furthermore, the voyages need to be on-going or lie in the future.

Vessels with the following properties

• "Schedulable" in the vessel master data

• FleetExitDate empty or in the future

Vessels which don't have any voyage in their schedule are not displayed in the open positions board or schedule view. However, they are available to allocate and move to in the voyage drawer, and to create scenarios with them.

Master and Scenario

The master scenario shows the current plan for the fleet and commitments. It is directly linked to the rest of the VMS.

Other scenarios can be created to help the scheduler evaluate different options when scheduling. These scenarios are independent from other VMS modules.

Under the menu item Scenarios you can find all scenarios, edit them and create new ones.

Fleet Plans

Under the menu item Fleet Plans you can view the schedule for any scenario in three different views: the open positions board, the cargo management board and the scheduler board (gantt view).
