Template cargoes are currently handled in Contract of Affreightment Line module.
The capacity plan gives you a monthly overview if your fleet is over or under booked with cargoes. For each months and each trade, we compare the available cargoes to the capacity in your fleet which is serving that trade.
To open the Capacity Plan, go to Chartering > Cargoes and select Capacity Plan in the top bar.
You can navigate between the current month and future months at the top of the dashboard. You 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 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.

A transshipment is the shipment of cargo to an intermediate destination, then by a different vessel to another destination. It is a type of relet created from a cargo booking from a particular discharge port at the end of an original booking.
A preshipment is another type of relet created from a cargo booking. It is the shipment of cargo from a location to that cargo's load port in an existing cargo booking. This includes the transfer to the vessel transporting from the load port.
Transshipments and preshipments are listed at the bottom of the cargo drawer under "Relets and Transshipments".
Open the Cargoes module in the Core section.

A cargo transfer is a type of transshipment where a cargo transported on two voyages. The cargo is transported on the first voyage to one port and then further transported on a second voyage to its final port.
You start with a cargo with a load and discharge port which represents the first part of the cargoes journey (on the first voyage). From a system perspective, the action "transfer" creates a new cargo for the second part of the journey (on the second voyage).
The original cargo will receive cargo type "Has Transfer", and the new cargo will receive cargo type "Transfer."
The following fields are synchronised:
cargo quantity and measurement unit
commodity
discharge rate + terms of has transfer cargo = load rate + terms of transfer cargo
Transfer cargoes are listed at the bottom of the cargo drawer under "Relets and Transshipments".
Open a cargo drawer.
At the top right in the cargo drawer, click Moreand select Transfer.
Fill in the form fields:
Owner of the vessel to transship the cargo.

Open the Port Calls List module in the Core section.
By using the list of port calls that opens on the Port Calls module, you can use the to find the port call you are looking for.
Depending on your access permissions, the list of port calls might be pre-filtered based on your system user security rights. Vessel operators can quickly filter the list to only show your port calls with the quick filter called "My Port Calls"
Specialty role: Vessel User: If you are a user onboard a vessel, the list will be showing only port calls related to that vessel.
There is a new variety of filters to choose from on the Port Calls List, which makes it easier to find a specific port of interest. The standard for when you enter the list is set on "Future", which displays all of the port calls set in a future date. The Future filter itself is one out of six "Date" filter options to choose from:
When you have located a Port Call from the Port Call list, click it and the details will show in a panel (so called "drawer") on the right hand side.
You can also use the options to sort the port calls on the Port Calls List:

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.
