Change cargo status

At the top of the drawer you can find a drop down with available statuses for a cargo, which will open by clicking the current status.

Available cargo statuses

The cargo status is a helper for you to understand where in the process you are. All statuses apart from Clean Fix are the same in the sense that they do not change the functionality of the system. When you set the cargo status to Clean Fix, the cargo quantity field in the cargo drawer now changes to be the B/L quantity. So when changing the cargo quantity on a "Clean Fix" cargo, it only changes the B/L quantity, not the booked quantity.

Various Cost/Revenue

In the various Cost/Revenue Tab there will be two tables. One table for various cost and one for various revenue.

To add a Various Cost click the blue plus icon in the top right corner. Once clicked the below modal will appear.

📖 Some background

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 options

1️⃣ When deleting a cargo which has cargo ports linked to a port calls which are linked to some other cargos cargo ports you will get a simple confirmation message before cargo is deleted as per below

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

2️⃣ When deleting a cargo which has cargo ports linked to port calls which are not linked to any other cargoes cargo port you will get option to also delete the linked port calls. This makes it easier to keep your schedule clean and correct.

Create New Cargoes

Layout:

The Cargoes module is divided into the Allocated cargoes and the Unallocated cargoes. In each tab, you can filter the cargoes based on several key endpoints to effectively view the required information on your screen. There is a sort icon to the far right, with different options for sorting the list as well. You can read more here: Sorting and Filtering Lists.

Below you can click to read how to create different types of cargoes:

Capacity Plan

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.

Overview

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".

Trade panels

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.

Cargoes by charterer

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.

Vessels

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:

  1. The voyage is marked with this trade or its performance cargo belongs to the trade.

  2. The voyage has arrival date in the first load port within the selected month.

Bunker Adjustments

On the right side, below the Cargo Port Timeline section, you can create/edit and view a list of Bunker Adjustments on the cargo:

Bunker Adjustments Section

You can create a new Bunker Adjustment by clicking the -icon at the top right of the section, which will bring you to the Create-modal. Or you can click on one of the rows to edit the selected Bunker Adjustment, which will open the Edit-modal. If you choose the Adjustment Type to be set to "Freight", you will only see the Adjustment Factor field below. But if you have chosen "Consumption", you will only see the Agreed Consumption field below (the invisible field is not editable and does not affect the calculation). The Freight type is chosen by default.

For both of these options you will be able to choose the bunker types: DL (LS MGO), DO (MGO), FL (LS FO) or FO. You can also input/edit the other fields, such as: Min Price, Max Price, Adjustment Factor/Agreed Consumption and Price. The Price field is still editable even though the input of the Min-/Max Price fields calculates the average price.

Create/Edit Modal For Bunker Adjustments

The total adjustment is calculated if the price is outside the minimum/maximum range, i.e:

  • Min range: 500, Max range: 550, Price: 600 => Positive adjustment

  • Min range: 500, Max range: 550, Price 400 => Negative adjustment

This calculation you can see as the price value in the second KPI tile by the last field called Bunker Adjustment:
