General info

The Bunker Stock list can be found in the Voyage drawer under the tab called Bunkers.

Opening Balance

Each list starts with the opening balance of the stock. The opening balances displays the balance of the bunker stocks at the beginning of the voyage and are generated based on the previous fixed voyage. When creating voyage estimates the opening balances are generated based on the last fixed voyage on the vessel.

Opening balances can be updated on voyages with status Estimate or Unallocated to be able to do quick calculations. Once a voyage i fixed the opening balance will be recalculated based on the previous fixed voyage and will no longer be editable.

Opening balances are also editable on voyages where the voyage start date is fixed.

The voyage map shows the voyage schedule, including alternative routing pointsthat can be added to the schedule between port calls. More routing points will be revealed as you zoom in on the map.

Viewing routing points

Click on a routing pointto show information about the point in a popup, including name, position, and GMT offset. When a routing point is clicked it will also be possible to add the routing point to the voyage route. When clicking 'Add to route', a pop-up will appear where you have to choose between which port calls the routing point shall be added.

Remove existing routing points from the Voyage route

Routing points that are on the voyage can be removed. When clicked, a button will become available 'Remove from voyage route'. When this is clicked, a confirmation box will appear. When confirmed, the routing point will be removed from the voyage.

Restricted areas

The interactive Voyage Map features several restricted areas:

1. Emission Control Areas

2. Open Loop Restricted Areas

Restricted Areas are visible on the map and depicted by Blue or Red dashed lines (See Figure 1).

The leftmost dropdown filter allows changing the settings to include the particular group of Restricted Areas in the map or not.

The 'Routing' tab allows comparing different routes regarding essential information such as Voyage TCE, Voyage Result, total distance, total days, etc.

See the screenshot below (Image 1) for an example:

A voyage going from Bergen to Hamburg through Newcastle is displayed. The routing tab illustrates an alternative route for each leg on the mentioned voyage. As presented in the screenshot, there is a key difference between the routes:

• TCE Difference: the TCE difference indicator shows the difference between the alternative route TCE and the currently selected route TCE. So, for the leg, Bergen -> Newcastle, the current TCE is -525 USD. On the other hand, selecting the alternative route will result in +27 USD, which is -497 USD of TCE total (See Image 2).

• Estimated Distance: illustrates the estimated distance for each leg, original and alternative.

• Sea Margin: shows the sea margin.

The map is also interactive and helps to visualize the alternative route, providing crucial data.

Detailed Comparison:

It is also possible to compare the routes in more detail! For instance, take a look at the screenshot below:

Clicking the top-right arrow in each container expands the detailed information.

The apply button proceeds with the changes and saves the selected route for the current voyage.

Note: The alternative routes may be created manually or must be coming from a third party, such as weather-based routes, etc.

The Voyage Edit Schedule segment may be found on the right-hand side of the Overview tab in a Voyage Drawer.

The edit schedule tab includes a complete list of Port Calls for all the Voyage's cargo.

There are three core elements involved: Selected Port Calls, Selected Cargo, and the rest.

• Selected Port Calls: these objects are highlighted by the blue background and a small blue line on the left of the Port Call port (see figure 2). The selected port calls display data for the respective selected Cargo.

• Selected Cargo: the currently selected cargo can be chosen inside the select cargo modal, which can be invoked by clicking the expand cargo button (triangle facing down inside the left section, see figure 3). The selected cargo will be the subject of the Edit Schedule list. The Port Calls contained in the list correspond to the selected cargo, and the related values change dynamically if another cargo is chosen.

• The rest: the rest can be considered all the grey options inside the list. These options are also expandable and can be edited, but they don't belong to the selected cargo and, thus, are not the focused elements (e.g., SUEZ CANAL Port call in Figure 2).

Each list item is interactive and can be collapsed or expanded. When the selected cargo is changed, the corresponding cargo ports expand and get visually highlighted, the corresponding values are updated.

Moreover, the collapse button can expand Port Calls related to the selected Cargo, Expand all Port Calls, or Collapse all. The button may be found on the right over the first PortCall (see figure 3).

Next to the Port Call port name, there is a Reason For Call specified inside of parentheses - L means Loading, D - discharging, and C - canal passage.

The comparison button can be found as a primary action in the Voyage drawer:

Overview

In this view, you are able to have an overview of the voyages to compare, copy the voyages you want to compare and/or open the Voyage drawer of the voyages:

In this first implementation, you are able to compare the Profit/Loss values, such as Freight, Total Port Cost, Bunker Cost, Various Cost, Contribution, TCE and Result between the voyages. The voyage you are comparing to is the left-most voyage. When you use the copy-function to the right of the table header, you copy that specific voyage. Meaning, the values will initially be the same, until you alter the values yourself. That is why voyage #1 and voyage #3 are identical, only voyage #2 was altered here. If you want to copy voyage #2, a new voyage #4 will have identical values to voyage #2, etc.

By clicking the reference number of the voyage (blue numbers) to the left of the table header, you will open the Voyage drawer of that specific voyage. There, you can view and/or alter the voyage, as the table rows are uneditable as of now.
