The Fleet Plans module allows you to allocate voyages and cargoes in MASTER and different scenarios without making any changes to your master fleet plan.
At the top center of the screen, the selected scenario is displayed.
To select a different scenario, click the expand buttonnext to the name to open a list of all scenarios.
The MASTER scenario is pinned to the top of the selector for easy accessibility.
To create a new scenario, follow the step-by-step guide: Create Scenario.
Below the scenario selector there are three tabs to access different views of the scenario schedule:
The Scheduler Board gives an overview of the allocation of voyages that need to be scheduled, in the form of a Gantt chart. It shows Commitments in the leftmost column (left of the red line), and all allocated voyages in the other columns. There are two settings to refine the view located in the top right:
Display the time period
Move the view to left or right
On the voyage card a lot of information is shown. The lefthand side of the graphic depicts the open position, the end of the previous voyage. The righthand side of the graphic depicts information on the voyage itself.
The length of the coloured bar indicates the ballast proportion of the voyage. The bar is blue if the lay date in the first port is reached, and red if the arrival is late.

Voyage Type: it can be SPOT, COA, TC or BALLAST.
Start and end date of the voyage itself. Saturdays are displayed in blue and Sundays in orange.

Laycan Deviation of Performance Cargo in First Load Port:
If early: blue, - # days between (target) lay date and arrival date in first load port
If on time: black, OK
If late: red, + # days between (target) can date and arrival date in first load port
(Target) lay and can date of the performance cargo. Saturdays are displayed in blue and Sundays in orange.
Laycan graphic:
Dark grey area: size of the laycan window
Arrow: Arrival time in first load port
Arrow color:
if early: blue
if on time: black
if late: red
-> indicated arrival with respect to laycan
Additional information on the voyage and its cargos is displayed in the voyage drawer. This can be accessed by clicking on the voyage card.
The Cargo Management Board displays all allocated and unallocated voyages, as well as each of their cargoes in the voyages. The unallocated cargoes are placed under the Commitments column. For details on the vessel open positions, voyage cards and board settings, see Open Positions Board.
The cargo management board displays all cargoes belonging to the selected scenario. In the left-most column, we display the unallocated cargoes, that is all cargoes that have not been allocated to a voyage. The other columns display voyage cards with the cargoes allocated to them.
The most lefthand column, Commitments, contains all the unallocated cargoes. This column displays all cargoes with status Unallocated that belong to the currently selected scenario. Each card contains the following information: Charterer, cargo booking status, trade , first load and last discharge port, as well as the laycan and arrival window dates. The unallocated cargoes can be filtered by charterer, commodity, trade, load area and discharge area (see Filters of Open Position Board for comparison).
On the right side of a voyage card, the cargo cards allocated to the voyage are showing. Each cargo has a load port, discharge port, charterer, cargo gross weight and cargo status displayed. These cargoes can be moved by dragging and dropping between the voyages of the same trade.
With the newest design of the cargoes on the voyage card, you will be able to graphically see at which ports a cargo has its load- and discharge ports. You can easily track all the port call rows of the cargo by looking at the vertical span of the specific cargo card (the blue area). It is also possible to scroll to the right to see all the cargoes allocated on the same port calls.
The cargo cards also has indication lines to help you interpret the lay days and arrival windows for each cargo graphically.
Lay days: indication line at the top of the cargo. Arrival window: indication line at the bottom of the cargo.
Color indicator:
if early: blue
if late: red
if on time: normal / no colour
In the Cargo Management Board, you can drag and drop cargoes between voyages. When moving a cargo, you can either move it 100% or split it and just move a part of it.
Clicking on a cargo opens the cargo drawer and gives you access to additional information and actions.
The board has two main areas; unallocated voyages on the left and allocated voyages on the right.
Each element in the board represents either a voyage with cargoes, or a vessel open position.
We call the yellow card the vessel open position card. It displays the start of the schedule of each ship that is displayed in the board. You can click on the card to open the vessel open position drawer. For any scenario that is not the MASTER, you can edit the port and date of the vessel open position. This changes where your ship starts in the scenario and reschedules the consecutive voyages.

On the left side of the voyage card all the arrival start dates and times are listed, but the ballast port has the start date of the voyage itself listed. One the right side, we have port names and the total cargo gross weight on board after each port call listed. Also, the timeline will display the additional ports row with the indication of how many more ports are "hidden" in the timeline. See under Settings to learn how to choose the number of ports to be displayed.
In the Open Positions Board you can drag and drop voyages to allocate or unallocate them, as well as moving them between different vessels and change their order on a vessel.
Click any voyage card to open the voyage drawer and access additional information and actions.
There are a large variety of filters available in the board. Filtering for Commitments (left-most column) and allocated voyages (rest of the columns) is separate. Filtering is persisted when navigating between the boards as well as when navigating to different menu items.
You can select the number of columns to show in the board either by moving the slider or by typing in a number.
You can select the number of ports to show in the port call timeline either by moving the slider or by typing in a number. The ballast, first loading and last discharging ports are always visible.
The column grouping decides which column a card should go into. The default setting is to group by vessel, but you can also select load area or discharge area. The area groupings depends on the selected area report under account preferences.
The row grouping setting decides how the cards are grouped vertically. By default there is no row grouping. You can also select to group by month or week.
At the top right of the board, click on Settingsto open the settings window.
