With the Intake Calculation function you can change parameters of a voyage to get an overview of quantities available for cargo at the port calls.
The intake calculation function can be opened from one of the following modules:
PlanningMaster Fleet Plan
PlanningScenario Fleet Plans
Click on a voyage in the list or board to open it in the drawer.
At the top right, click on Functions.
Select Voyage Intake Calculation.
At the top, fields for changing the stowage and bunker properties for the entire voyage are displayed.
A table of all the port calls on this voyage is shown in this section. To change the intake reduction properties per port call, click a row to open a window where you can make adjustments.
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.
The VMS provides powerful voyage tools for risk assessment and estimations on cargo capacity on port calls.
These tools are available from one of the following modules:
PlanningMaster Fleet Plan
PlanningScenario Fleet Plans.
Click on a voyage in the list or board to open it in the drawer.
At the top right, click on Functions.
With the Sensitivity Analysis tool you can run calculations on a chosen parameter to evaluate risk.
The sensitivity analysis can be opened from one of the following modules:
PlanningMaster Fleet Plan
PlanningScenario Fleet Plans.
Click on a voyage in the list or board to open it in the drawer.
At the top right, click on Functions.
Select Voyage Sensitivity Analysis.
Select a voyage parameter which is then adjusted by the numerical variance for each calculation.
The chart shows the all the calculated values for the voyage. There are 15 data points, with the current voyage displayed in the middle, with negative variance on the left side, and positive variance on the right side.
Hover the mouse over the chart to inspect the values of each calculation data point.
Press the menu iconto download the chart as an image (SVG or PNG), or a text file (CSV) that can be imported to a spreadsheet software.
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.
Parameter
Description
Stowage Factor
Cubic meters of space occupied by one metric tonne of cargo
