Parameter
Description
Zone
Sets the vessel DWT that is used in the calculation.
Water Salinity
One of Saltwater/Brackish Water/Fresh Water. Affects the water density.
Water Density
Density of the water at port. Higher value increases intake.
Draft
Intake draft reduction of the vessel. Lower value increases intake.
Safety Margin
Safety margin for the draft. Default value is 20%. Lower value increases intake.
Constant Reduction
Intake constant reduction of the vessel. Lower value increases intake.
Fresh Water Reduction
Intake fresh water reduction of the vessel. Lower value increases intake.
The loadline information table shows data on the voyage vessel that might affect the intake. To change these values, you need to edit the vessel in the Vessels module in master data.
A mixed chart of the calculation results is generated at the bottom. Each port call has multiple graphs to show the reductions, cargo quantity and quantity available for cargo. The charts gets updated automatically when there are changes to the voyage header, port call, or vessel parameters.
Click on the legends at the top of the chart to toggle the display of a graph. Hover the mouse over the chart to inspect the values of each calculation data point.
