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.
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, except . 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:
Below the scenario selector there are three tabs to access different views of the scenario schedule:
The Budgets module is located in the menu under Planning. Template and budgeted voyages are only accessible from this module.
Only users with the roles Budget Viewer or Administrator have access to the Budgets module.
Budget scenarios are listed in the dropdown in the top center of the Budgets page.
The Budgets page contains two tabs for viewing template voyages and budgeted voyages from the selected budget scenario.
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.

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.
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:
Free capacity: Total deadweight - total weight
Deadweight: Total deadweight of vessels loading in the selected month
Weight: Total weight of cargoes with laydays commencement in the selected month.
For free capacity and weight, we distinguish between total values and fixed values. The latter takes only cargoes into account which have status "Clean Fix".
An expandable panel is shown for each trade, with totals for that trade. There are two lists inside the panel, one for cargoes by charterer and one for vessels.
In each trade panel there is a list of total cargo weight and volume grouped by charterer. Only cargoes where laydays commencement lies in the selected month are counted.
All "fixed" charterer cargo totals are listed first, while "not fixed" entries come second and are indicated in grey.
In each trade panel there is a list of vessels. For each voyage in the master fleetplan, the vessel that voyage is allocated to is listed if the following two criteria are met:
The voyage is marked with this trade or its performance cargo belongs to the trade.
The voyage has arrival date in the first load port within the selected month.
This is a list of all scenarios, including budgets, in the system. The MASTER scenario is marked in capital letters and cannot be edited.
By clicking on a scenario, you open its drawer and can change its name, its vessels and its voyages.
To create a new scenario follow the step-by-step guide: .
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.
Additional information on the voyage and its cargos is displayed in the . This can accessed by clicking on the voyage card.

Template Voyage Panel
When you have located a template voyage, click on it and the details will show in a panel (so called "drawer") on the right hand side. The panel will also open after creating a new template voyage.
Template Voyages have the template label next to the status selector to indicate that it is a template voyage.
In the header of a selected template voyage panel, the current status can be viewed. Clicking on it will activate a dropdown menu and a new status can be selected. A template voyage can either have the status Estimate or Closed. All other statuses are disabled for template voyages.
Tabs in the template voyages panel include the same tabs as other voyages, as well as the budgeted voyages tab.
Follow the link below for further information on the voyages panel:
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.
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:
Scheduled (Unallocated)
Scheduled (Allocated)
Nominated
Furthermore, the voyages need to be on-going or lie in the future.
"Schedulable" in the vessel master data
FleetExitDate empty or in the future
Vessels which don't have any voyage in their schedule are not displayed in the open positions board or schedule view. However, they are available to allocate and move to in the voyage drawer, and to create scenarios with them.
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.
Under the menu item you can view the schedule for any scenario in three different views: the , the and the .
