A bunker order can efficiently be added directly from "Booking And Operations" module (in your java client VMS) when having a port call in focus. Either based on the bunker estimates registered, or straight as a bunker order requirement.

Select the port call where you are bunkering and click the "Create new Bunker Order" button from the menu.

A dialog will show a bunker order with the details filled out from the estimates, if there are no estimates please fill in all the details of the bunker order such as Bunker Type, Min/Max quantity, assumed bunker price and supplier.

The Bunker Management module allows you to register and follow a bunker order's workflow from requirement to a paid invoice. The module also enables bunker management systems and agents to make full two-way integrations. Currently two Bunker Procurement Systems (BPS) have made integrations, and have been successfully tested: Clearlynx and World Fuel Service's BunkerLine.

Bunker estimates can still be maintained in "Booking and Operations", allowing you to create detailed voyage estimates. These estimates will later be used as default values when creating the bunker requirement or order.

Advantages:

• Enter two products (bunker requirements/order lines) on the same port, without the need to add two bunker port calls.

• Run reports and statistics based on all the bunker orders, per port, per supplier, status, etc.

• Get a list of future bunker requirements across the fleet.

• Quickly search and filter on all of the bunker orders by vessel, supplier, port, etc.

• Support for integration with bunker procurement systems, such as ClearLynx and World Fuel Services.

The details of a bunker order can be edited and maintained in the Bunker Management application.

When you have located the bunker order click it and the details will show in a panel (so called "drawer") on the right hand side. Details can be maintained directly in the fields.

Adding a product (bunker order line)

If you want to add a product for a given order click the "+" button above the list of products. Then a dialog will show and allow you to enter the details.

Maintaining bunker order lines details

If you want to edit the details of the bunker order line (bunker type, quantity or unit price) click the bunker order line and a dialog will show allowing you to change.

Bunker Type: If estimating bunker intake, the bunker type set will default to the grade this vessel is set up with in your vessel administration screen. If you need to change this you can do that in the below screen or when you actually place/create the order.

Bunker orders can be located in three ways:

• From "Booking and Operations" module

  • Find the voyage and port in "Booking and Operations" module and click the "Bunker Orders" button there. The list of all bunker orders for that port call will show.

• From the list of bunker orders using filters

  • Having the list of bunker orders open in the Bunker Management application you can use filters to find the bunker order you are looking for.

• From the Bunker Requirement list

  • Filter the bunker requirement list as per above to locate the bunker order. This list will show all bunker order lines across all bunker orders.

When a bunker order requirement is stemmed you should update the system with the agreed supplier, prices and quantities and status.

Register the information and click the "action button" with three dots on it, and a menu of actions shows. Click the "Stem" button and the status is transitioned to "Stemmed" if all the requirements are fulfilled.

If already situated in the "Bunker Management" application you can create a new bunker order directly there. Click the Create Bunker button in the upper right corner and fill out the vessel and port call together with the other necessary details.

If there are estimates registered in the "Booking and Operations" module these will be defaulted in the details (such as bunker type, quantities and bunker prices)

When a bunkering is canceled, the bunker order needs to be either canceled or deleted.

1. Click a bunker order in the Bunker Orders module list.

2. When the drawer opens, open the action menuin the top right.

3. Click the Cancel button to cancel the bunker order.

Deleting a bunker order entirely removes the order and all its history. This option is suitable when a bunker order is cancelled, or the entire port call or voyage is cancelled.

Click the delete button from the action menu. If the bunker order is not cancelled prior to this...then the delete button will not be active in the menu.

When delivery is taken by the vessel the "Bunkered Quantity" and "Delivery Date" must be registered in the application. Fill in the required fields and click "Register Delivery" on the action menu.

Ship Role: It is possible for the the a Ship user with the vessel security role to register this information his side and upload the bunker delivery note as an attachment in the system.
