In Fleet Allocation and Scheduling (FAS) you can work on voyages in the planning phase and allocate them to vessels. Available voyages and vessels are:

Voyages with status

• Scheduled (Unallocated)

• Scheduled (Allocated)

• Nominated

Furthermore, the voyages need to be on-going or lie in the future.

Vessels with the following properties

• "Schedulable" in the vessel master data

• FleetExitDate empty or in the future

Master and Scenario

The master scenario shows the current plan for the fleet and commitments. It is directly linked to the rest of the VMS.

Other scenarios can be to help the scheduler evaluate different options when scheduling. These scenarios are independent from other VMS modules.

Under the menu item Scenarios you can find all scenarios, edit them and create new ones.

Fleet Plans

Under the menu item you can view the schedule for any scenario in three different views: the , the and the .

The capacity plan gives you a monthly overview if your fleet is over- or underbooked with cargoes. For each months and each trade, we compare the available cargoes to the capacity in your fleet which is serving that trade.

Overview

You can navigate between the current month and future months at the top of the dashboard. You can also filter to restrict the view to a particular set of trades.

The are three summary cards at the top displaying information on all trades selected in the filter:

This is a list of all scenarios, including budgets, in the system. The MASTER scenario is marked in capital letters and cannot be edited.

Template Voyages can be located from the tab in the Budgets module.

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.

Voyage Card

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.

Additional information on the voyage and its cargos is displayed in the . This can accessed by clicking on the voyage card.

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.

Board structure‌

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.‌

Unallocated Cargos‌

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 for comparison).

Cargoes on the Voyage Card‌

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.

Laytime and Arrival Window Indicators

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

Tooltips

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:

Actions

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.

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 for more information). The modals require fields such as Load port, Discharge port, Charterer and Commodity.

Clicking on a cargo opens the and gives access to additional information and actions.

Board Layout

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.

Vessel Open Position Card

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.

Port Call Timeline and Cargos

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.

Actions

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.
