The Cargo Management Board displays all allocated voyages and the cargos allocated to them. It also shows the unallocated cargos in Commitments column. For details on the vessel open positions, voyage cards and board settings see Open Positions Board.
The Cargo Management Board displays all cargos belonging to the selected scenario. In the left-most column, we display the unallocated cargos, 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 leftmost column, Commitments, contains all the unallocated cargos. This column displays all cargos 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 cargos 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 the load port, discharge port, charterer, gross weight and status displayed. These cargos can be moved by dragging and dropping between the voyages of the same trade.
With the newest design of the cargos 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
By hovering over a cargo card or on a port call row, a tooltip can be viewed. Fields in the tooltip that contain no data are hidden. The following fields are available within the cargo card and port call tooltip:
In the Cargo Management Board, you can drag and drop cargos between voyages. When moving a cargo, you can either move it 100% or split it and just move a part of it. It also possible to drag and drop cargos to and from the Commitments column in order to unallocate/allocate it.
Clicking on a cargo opens the cargo drawer and gives access to additional information and actions.
By clicking at the Create in the top right corner, you will be able to create a cargo, or create a cargo from a budget or CoA template (see Create Cargos for more information). The modals require fields such as Load port, Discharge port, Charterer and Commodity.

The scheduler board gives an overview of the allocation of voyages that need to be scheduled. It shows commitments in the leftmost column and all allocated voyages in the other columns. There are several settings to refine the view located in the top right.
The area settings and the date format are chosen in Application settings in the top right corner.
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 arrival is late.

Additional information on the voyage and its cargos is displayed in the voyage drawer. This can accessed by clicking on the voyage card.
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 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 times are listed. The date and time listed for the ballast port is the voyage start date. On the right side of the timeline, the port names are listed, including the ballast port. The total cargo gross weight on board after the port call is listed under the port name.
Number of Displayed Ports
It is possible to change how many ports are listed at a time by using the settings. The minimum amount of ports that can be displayed is 3, the ballast port, the first load port and the last discharge port of a voyage. The number in the blue circle indicates how many ports are hidden.
In the open positions board you can drag and drop voyages to allocate or unallocate them, move them between vessels and change their order on a vessel.
Click any voyage card to open the voyage drawer and access additional information and actions.
You have 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.
