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.

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.

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".

Transferring a Cargo

1. Open a cargo drawer.

2. At the top right in the cargo drawer, click Moreand select Transfer.

   2. Final discharge port of the transfer.

   3. Second vessel to transport the cargo.

   4. Second voyage to transport the cargo.

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 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".
