Find Vessel Voyages and Port Calls

In the "Voyages & Port Calls" section of the vessel drawer, you will find the most important information about a vessel and its voyages.

Vessel Details

Voyages

This is a list of voyages on the opened vessel sorted by newest first. If there is an ongoing voyage (end date in the future) in the list, it is indicated with a blue marker on the left side. When clicking the reference number of the voyage, the voyage drawer will then open. If the voyage does not have a reference number, a text value displaying 'Missing' will show instead. This is also clickable and will open the selected voyage.

Clicking on the voyages will list all port calls of the voyage below. Clicking on port calls in the list opens them in a panel where you can make changes.

Voyages & Port Calls under Vessels List

The Resequence feature is added. It enables reordering the list of voyages assigned to a vessel (see Figure 1). To utilize the feature, click Vessels, select the one that requires reordering, and click the Two-way arrow icon in the newly appeared window on the right.

Now, a user is free to drag objects. When one is dropped inside the list, it lands on its newly claimed place. Thus, it allows the reorganization of items in the desired order. For example, Figure 2 illustrates Item 77, which is being dragged down. It is expected that the item will have replaced Item 76 after release.

Next, the result after the aforementioned release is presented in Figure 3.

As expected, Item 77 changed places with Item 76.

Deleting Cargo

When deleting a cargo you will be presented different options based on the cargo you are deleting

Cargoes are loaded and discharged in cargo ports and these cargo ports are linked to the port calls you find in the voyages schedule.

One port call can be linked to:

  • no cargo port - for port calls to Bunkering, Canal Passages etc.

  • one cargo port - when loading/discharging one cargo

  • more than one cargo port - when loading/discharging more than one cargo

When deleting a cargo the link between the cargo ports and port calls will define what options you will see in the delete cargo window.

The same confirmation message will always be shown for unallocated cargoes.

The Timeline shows the voyages schedule on the right side and the cargo ports of the cargo you are about to delete on the left side.

Allocate Cargo

  1. Click a cargo in the Cargoes module list.

  2. Click the Allocate Cargo button to open a dialog for allocation.

In the dialog, select Vessel and Voyage you want to allocate the cargo to. A preview of the voyage schedule will then show the cargo ports to the left and voyage port calls to the right, as in the screen capture below. The allocation will be done using the existing port calls on the voyage if they match the cargo ports. If no port calls and cargo ports match, additional port calls will be created on the voyage. These new port calls are denoted with "Adds New Port Call".

Click Allocate to allocate the cargo and create any new necessary port calls on the voyage.

The following fields are synchronised:

  • cargo quantity and measurement unit

Bunker Orders

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.

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.

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.

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.

Create from a port call

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.

If you add estimates for several bunker types, all types will be defaulted when you create a bunker order.

NOTE: Defaults will not be set for port calls that already have bunker order tied to it.
