This will open a new page where you will be able to see a overview of the voyages to compare, copy the voyages you want to compare and/or open the Voyage drawer of the voyages:
For the initial release version of this tool, you'll be able to see and modify details on your vessel, cargo and voyage. Some fields may be greyed out, for the same reasons you might not be able to modify them in the voyage or cargo drawer normally.
In the top left you will find two buttons; Highlight Differences and Show Only Differences, which will enable or disable the respective features. By default, Highlight Differences is turned on.
The top header shows the voyage reference number, and a button to copy and remove the voyage from the comparison. Clicking on the voyage reference will open the voyage drawer. From here, you can make all the changes you are used to, and the comparison will update accordingly.
To the right of the rightmost voyage, you'll find a big grey button that when clicked, opens a dropdown menu. Here you can add an existing voyage to the comparison, or create a brand new one.
The Vessel section of the comparison allows you to choose and edit many values that can change your result. Want to see how another vessel would perform on a given voyage? How much difference will different speed orders or bunker prices make? Make a change, and see how it affects your result and TCE.
The Cargo section displays information about one cargo at a time. In the event your voyage has multiple cargos, click on the Reference dropdown to see and select another cargo.
The Cargo Ports row shows you the first load and discharge port for the cargo. If you have a longer schedule, hover over the row to see the entire schedule as a tooltip.
Changing any of the fields here behaves as if they were changed from the Cargo drawer. For instance, setting a high freight rate will automatically update the rule to Lumpsum, and the calculations are being carried out as such.
In the Voyage section, you are only able to set the start date of the voyage. Like the Cargo Ports row in the Cargo section, the Schedule row only shows two ports. Hovering your mouse over the row will bring up a tooltip showing the entire voyage schedule.

A section in a Voyage drawer that visualizes the schedule and port-call-related information.
The Voyage schedule visualization may be found on the right-hand side of a voyage drawer.
This section is highly customizable: e.g., you may change the voyage start date, lock it, edit the Voyage's speed, update the port call sequence, and much more!
The Schedule Timeline is a fully interactive module. Each port represents a draggable block - if you reorder the blocks, you will update the port call sequence on the opened voyage correspondingly:
Next, each Port Call block is clickable, and it brings up a Port Call drawer.
The small ovals inside of each Port Call block includes a piece of related information: Days at Sea + Extra Days at Sea, Actual Speed, and Distance between Ports. Every oval is clickable and allows editing corresponding sea passages.
Moreover, the Port Call blocks include a small functions tooltip that provides the following actions on the voyage schedule sequence: show Port Cost history overview, create new Port Call to the current schedule, edit the selected Port Call, or delete the Port Call.
To edit a port call in the schedule, click the pencil icon in the functions tooltip. A popup modal then shows where main details of the port call can be changed.
Note that the port can only be changed if the Arrival-, Berthed-, and Departure Date are unfixed. If any of these dates are fixed, the port selector will only show available terminals on the currently selected port.
A section in a Voyage drawer found in the third tab of the Schedule module
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.
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.
With the Intake Calculation function you can change parameters of a voyage to get an overview of quantities available for cargo at the port calls.
Click on a voyage in the list or board to open it in the drawer.
At the top right, click on Functions.
Select Voyage Intake Calculation.
At the top, below the vessel-chip and voyage reference, fields for changing the stowage and bunker properties for the entire voyage are displayed.
A table of all the port calls on this voyage is shown in this section. To change the intake reduction properties per port call, click a row to open a window where you can make adjustments. Some columns are hidden by default, and can be toggled on/off by using the "Customize Columns"-button in the top right corner of the table.
A mixed chart of the calculation results is generated at the bottom. Each port call has multiple graphs to show the reductions, cargo quantity and quantity available for cargo. The charts gets updated automatically when there are changes to the voyage header, port call, or vessel parameters.
Click on the legends at the top of the chart to toggle the display of a graph. Hover the mouse over the chart to inspect the values of each calculation data point.
The loadline information table shows data on the voyage vessel that might affect the intake. To change these values, you need to edit the vessel in the Vessels module in master data.
You are able to keep in control of all your organisations inserted cargoes using the cargo module in VMS.
Voyage drawer
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 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.

At the top in the main details you will find the KPI-cards.
First tile: Cargo quantity is the actual quantity, and booked is the booked quantity.
Second tile: Freight is the total freight for the cargo.
Third tile: Commission and various costs.
Fourth tile: Net Fio is all cargo related revenue aggregated and then deduct all aggregated cargo cost - divided by the quantity of the cargo.
Below the KPI tiles is the Main Cargo Details section on the left side:
All fields that are enabled can be changed from this view. The following fields and options may be disabled under certain circumstances.
Below Main Cargo Details section, there is a section for inputting fields and checkboxes regarding the stowage values of the cargo:
Below the KPI-cards on the right side is the Cargo Port Timeline together with LayCan dates. Laytime used is the estimated laytime allowed. The date fields are validated and if the validation fails the date field that needs to be corrected is highlighted in red and there is a short message under the date field indicating what is wrong.
Editing a Cargo Port will give you access to a few more fields, for instance Handling Cost, Laytime Terms and related fields.
If the Vessel Type of the Vessel used for the Voyage has "Free Despatch" ticked off, any newly created Cargo Ports will have "Free Despatch" ticked off as well.
On the left side of the tab below the Main Cargo Details is the Stowage section
On the right side, below the Cargo Port Timeline section, you can create/edit and view a list of Bunker Adjustments on the cargo:
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.
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:

Bunker stocks is a detailed representation of bunkers usage for each voyage. In this list you will find consumption, purchases and sells of bunkers on board for each port call.
The Bunker Stock list can be found in the Voyage drawer under the tab called Bunkers.
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.
To edit an opening balance on voyages where this is enabled,
click on the opening balance row and a modal with the editable values will appear
edit the values
click Confirm to save your changes
It is possible to add additional opening balances for each bunker category on voyages that have the status Estimate or Unallocated and for voyages where the start date of the voyage is fixed.
To add an opening balance:
in bunker stocks list click on the Add Opening Balance button located above the bunker stock list for a given bunker category
enter the values
click Confirm to save the opening balance
Note that the button is only enabled if it is possible to add additional opening balances to the voyage.
The new opening balance will be added after the last existing opening balance in the list.
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:
In the Commissions tab you can create new commissions by clicking the blue plus icon in the top right corner.
Once clicked the below modal will appear:
Once the required fields are filled in the create button will be activated and you can create the new Commission, which then will appear in the table in the Commissions tab.
This tab shows a list of the cargoes connected to the voyage
The list can be filtered on Port (the list displays the first load and discharge CargoPort, but the filter works any load and discharge ports on the Cargo), Charterer and Commodity by using the quick-filters in the top right.
In a row at the bottom of the list, you can see the total amount of cargo quantity on this Voyage.
In the comments tab there is a list of previous comments made, and at the bottom you can add new comments.
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.
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.
In the Payment Terms tab you can enter the payment details as per above fields.
The webVMS contains all cargoes created in your system. To access this list you should navigate in the menu to the "Cargoes" link. This will open up your list of cargos.
There are several options available for you to narrow down what you include in the list view.
The Cargoes page is designed to be able to show the history of cargoes by setting filters and customising columns to your needs.
In the Cargoes list you can use the existing columns along with the optional column "Voyage Start Date" and use the filters of the list to view the history of cargoes.
Clicking the icon will bring up a dropdown menu for choosing between creating a brand new Cargo, or a new Cargo from a CoA template.
By clicking the icon you can edit the columns shown in the list, rearrange the columns and even enable showing of some columns that are unchecked by default.
Clicking the icon will export the table to a spreadsheet-format, which can be opened in e.g. Excel or Numbers.
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.
Click a cargo in the Cargoes module list.
When the drawer opens, find the "Commissions" tab and open it.
Click the icon to open a dialog to enter values, where "Broker" is mandatory.
To edit the details after creation, click the line in the table and the same dialog will open.
A cargo transfer is a type of 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.
Final discharge port of the transfer.
Second vessel to transport the cargo.
Second voyage to transport the cargo.
Click Transfer.
The discharge port of the original cargo will be the load port of the transfer cargo.
A transshipment is the shipment of cargo to an intermediate destination, then by a different vessel to another destination. It is a type of 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.
Click a cargo in the list to open it in a drawer.
At the top right in the cargo drawer, click Moreand select Transship or Preship.
Fill in the fields listed below.
Click Confirm to relet the cargo.
In the Freight Rate Tiers tab, you can create, edit and delete different freight rate tiers for the cargo. It is also possible to choose between a tiered and a volume rate model.
Tiered: In tiered pricing, the per-unit freight rates are assigned to quantity-based ranges (tiers). When calculating the total freight, quantities are purchased from successive tiers, starting from the lowest. Example: In the below example, a cargo of 8000MT would have a freight rate of 11 USD for the first 4999MT and a freight rate of USD 12 for the remaining 3001MT. The freight rate will show as a weighted average on the cargo.
Volume: Here too, the freight rate is quantity-based. However, the per-unit freight rate is dependent on the range within which the total quantity falls. So, under this model, you would define the quantity ranges and the per-unit freight rate for each. Example: In the below example, a cargo of 8000MT would have a freight rate of 12 USD for the entire quantity.
If a cargo has one or more tiers in this section, the Freight Rate
and Rule
field in the section will be uneditable. Rule
will also be changed to Rate
.
To delete one or more tiers, click on the checkbox mark on the left side of the list. Doing so will bring up the button to delete the tiers. Clicking on the button will bring up a confirmation modal.
Click a cargo in the Cargoes module list.
When the drawer opens, open the action menuin the top right.
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". When allocating, the cargo will also have its company and business unit changed to the voyage's company and business unit. You can edit the cargo's company and/or business unit after the allocating if you want it to be different from the voyage's.
Click Allocate to allocate the cargo and create any new necessary port calls on the voyage.
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.
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.
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.
A relet can be defined as the act of sub-chartering a cargo to other owners to transport. A relet always covers the entire voyage of a relet cargo.
Relets are listed at the bottom of the cargo drawer under "Relets and Transhipments".
Open the Cargoes module in the Core section.
Click a cargo in the list to open it in a drawer.
At the top right in the drawer, click Moreand select Relet.

By using the list of port calls that opens on the Port Calls module, you can use the quick filters 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.
When a cargo has been connected to a Contract of Affreightment (CoA), a secondary action called 'Remove CoA' will be enabled which will allow you to revert the connection and disconnect the cargo from the CoA. If the Cargo does not have any CoAs connected, the Remove CoA button will be greyed out and disabled. The Secondary Action menu is opened by clicking the triple-dot icon in the upper right of the Cargo Drawer
