Welcome to the main source of information on the Dataloy product suite.
To copy any vessel, open the Vessel drawer and click the More button in the top right to bring up the menu.
Clicking Copy Vessel will open a Copy Vessel modal where you are prompted to enter a new name for the new copy.
When you click Create, the data from the original Vessel will be copied over to the new Vessel, with a few exceptions.
Voyages and Port Calls will not be copied to the new Vessel.
IMO Number will not be copied to the new Vessel.
The internal data of the copied vessel will be given default values for some fields like company, business unit, vessel code and vessel class.
The vessel code will be set to the unique key value for the Vessel, used by the API.
Pool and Pool Earning Points will not be copied to the new Vessel.
Open the Vessels module in the Core menu in the top left corner.
Find your selected vessel.
Vessel "Speed and Consumption" data can be accessed in the top tab menu. Details can be maintained directly in the fields or from the table actions.
Depending on your access permissions the list of Vessels might not be visible.
Open the Vessels module in the Core Menu list on the top left corner.
There are several sorting and filtering options available for you to narrow down what you include in the list view, including a "My Vessels" filter that shows all the vessels of which the logged-in user is set as one of the following:
Master User
Responsible Accountant
Operator
Claims Operator
You can also Customise the columns of the Vessels list to add, reorder or hide columns. The columns Operator, Built, and Schedulable are hidden by default.
On top of the list, you may find three tabs: Operative, Archived, and Map. The two first tabs illustrate pre-sorted data based on the fleet exit date parameter. The Map includes an interactive map with the current vessels' location.
Moreover, filters found on the same line as the tabs, apply to both tables. If you switch between tabs, the filters will remain the same, facilitating navigation.
A click on the Operative tab will load a table, that contains only operable vessels. In other words, the vessels whose fleet exit date is either not set, or set in the future.
On the other hand, the Archived tab presents vessels whose fleet exit date is older than the current date (fleet exit date was in the past).
In the "Voyages & Port Calls" section of the vessel drawer, you will find the most important information about a vessel and its voyages.
The "Vessel Details" section shows some key data points about the vessel such as DWT, Cubic Capacity, Draft and more. Click Expandto show more details and contact information for the vessel.
Below, you will find a list of either Port Calls or Bunkers, and a button to toggle between the two different views.
While in Port Call view, clicking on a voyage row will list all port calls of the selected voyage, as well as the port calls from the previous and next voyage, if they exist. The port calls from the previous and next voyage will be in a slightly lighter colour, such that it is possible to tell them apart. Clicking directly on the reference number of the voyage will open up the Voyage drawer.
Clicking on port calls in the list opens the corresponding port call's drawer where you can make can changes:
The Port Calls list will display up to 30 items, and includes a separate scrolling functionality. By hovering over each of the "headers" (such as Voyage, Port, Reason for Call, etc.), you can also see an sorting array which will make you able to sort that specific column in either an ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.
The Bunkers view removes the list in favour of up to three collapsible sections for the voyages. Similarly to the Port Calls view, clicking on a voyage row in the voyages list will select/open up the corresponding collapsible section, and fetch the data for the previous and next voyage:
The top band of the section displays 4 columns; the reference number of the voyage, Opening Balance, Consumption and Closing Balance. Each of the latter three will show amount and price for up to 4 different bunker types, depending on which bunkers are actually being used by the vessel.
Expanding the collapsible section will give you a table overview of each port, with reason for call, distance, speed etc., as well as a detailed breakdown of the bunkers consumed. Only the bunkers actually used will be displayed here.
The resequence feature enables re-ordering the list of voyages assigned to a vessel (see below screenshot). 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:
The user can now drag and drop the voyages to re-order them into the desired order. For example, the screenshot below illustrates voyage 77, which is being dragged down. It is expected that the item will have replaced voyage 76 after release:
Next, the result after the aforementioned release is presented below:
Any voyages that will have their sequence number changed, will have their previous old sequence number parenthesized.
The Save button updates Fleet Plan Voyages and saves the new appearance of the Voyage List.
Port calls can also be resequenced to a different position within the previous, current, or next voyage. To resequence a port call, click the resequence symbol in the top right corner of the port calls list. A popup modal will then show and the port call can be dragged and dropped in the desired position (see screenshot below). Note that only one port call can be moved at a time. Also, only port calls after the last Arrived, Berthed or Departed port call can be moved in the list:

A voyage can be converted to voyage template if certain requirements are met, these are listed below:
Can be converted to template:
Estimate Voyages
Unallocated Voyages
Cannot be converted to template:
Template Voyages
Allocated Voyages
Nominated Voyages
Operational Voyages
Operationally Closed Voyages
Closed Voyages
Invoiced Voyages
The voyage's type (TC, SPOT, COA) does not matter in regards to whether you're allowed to convert or not.
In order to convert a voyage to a template voyage one must open a voyage's drawer and click the secondary action menu in the top-right and select the "Convert to Template...' action.
After selecting the action you will get a confirmation popup modal which allows you to select to 'Create New CoA' and 'Create Unallocated Voyage' when converting to template. When clicking the 'Confirm' button, you will be brought to the template voyage's drawer.
Both optional buttons will be available.
None of the optional buttons will be available.
Both optional buttons will be available and the 'Create New CoA' button will be selected by default. If un-selecting this button, the template voyage will continue to use the old CoA instead of creating a new.
When you are in the analysis tab and you select a snapshot from the analysis chart the See Audit Log will be activated, and you may click this button to see the audit logs from the previous snapshot to the selected snapshot. This button is not activated for the first (Preliminary snapshot) as this has no previous snapshot to compare with.
The audit log in the analysis section will show audit logs between the selected Snapshot and the previous snapshot.
In the voyage drawer at the vessel section you will find a checkbox for setting "Last Voyage for Current CP". This checkbox is disabled when there is no TC In Contract registered.
From the voyage drawer actions it is possible to change the Voyage Reference Number or Voyage Number, depending on the voyage status.
When voyage status is Estimate, Unallocated or Allocated, it is possible to change the Voyage Reference Number.
When voyage status is Nominated, Operational, Operationally Closed, Invoiced or Closed, it is possible to change the Voyage Number.
Clicking Edit Voyage Reference... or Edit Voyage Number... in the options meny opens a dialog box where the current values can be modified. In addition, the dialog box contains a field for changing the Voyage Start Year.
A functionality to compare voyages' values to each other to get the best overview.
The comparison button can be found as a primary action in the Voyage drawer:
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.
From the voyage drawer it is possible to change the status of the voyage by using the status chip next to the reference no at the top of the drawer.
When changing status from estimate to Allocate, the following modal will show, where you have to select the vessel, and if you want, you can manually change the position. It will by default be put last.
When changing status from Estimate to Nominated, the following modal will show. If it is a TC voyage with missing laycan on the TC, you will have to fill in the layCan as well.
The nominating process will also change the booking status of all of the cargoes on the voyage to 'Clean Fix'.
A TC Voyage will not have a Cargo Section on the Overview Tab like normal Voyages, but instead have a Time Charter Contract Section displaying the Time Charter Contract. In this section you can edit the most important fields on a Time Charter directly through the Voyage Drawer or click the -icon to Open the Time Charter Contract Drawer
Both Duration and Rate fields will be disabled if there exists more than one Duration on the Tc contract, or a Duration has multiple Rates.
The Calculate Profit/Loss checkbox is only available while the Voyage still has status Estimate, and will toggle calculation of profit/loss based on bunkers.
Time Charter Contracts and its subpages
From the "Related" tab in the voyage drawer, you can view, add and edit laytime calculations. Expand the collapsible section titled Laytime Calculation and click the Create button to add a laytime calculation for the opened voyage.
Only voyages of status "Estimate" and "Unallocated" can be deleted. Otherwise you must change the status before you can delete.
Find a voyage (i.e through the Voyages page).
Click to open the voyage you want to delete.
At the upper right corner of the panel, click Delete.
Click Confirm to delete the voyage.
Voyages can be connected to Cargoes and/or Offhires, as well as scheduled voyages if the voyage is a template.
When attempting to delete a template voyage that has scheduled voyages either at the Nominated or later stages, an error message will show instead.
The delete-voyage modal will look differently depending on whether it has connected entities:
No connections:
Only Offhire connection:
Only Cargo connection:
Offhires and Cargoes:
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.
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.
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.
The interactive Voyage Map features several restricted areas:
Emission Control Areas
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.
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.
With the Sensitivity Analysis tool you can run calculations on a chosen parameter to evaluate risk.
Click on a voyage in the list or board to open it in the drawer.
At the top right, click on Functions.
Select Voyage Sensitivity Analysis.
Select a voyage parameter which is then adjusted by the numerical variance for each calculation.
The chart shows all the calculated values for the voyage. There are 15 data points, with the current voyage displayed in the middle, with negative variance on the left side, and positive variance on the right side.
The value of the selected Voyage is specified with a blue vertical line. The figures you find in a small box above each point reflect the X-axis values for each point.
Hover the mouse over the chart to inspect the values of each calculation data point.
Moreover, you may find a table on the right from the Sensitivity Analysis chart. The table consists of the calculated values, placed in ascending order. The table may ease navigation among calculations.
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.
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 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.
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.
Press the menu iconto download the chart as an image (SVG or PNG), or a text file (CSV) that can be imported into spreadsheet software.
The loadline information table shows data on the voyage that might affect the intake. To change these values, you need to edit the vessel in the Vessels module in master data.
Port | Name of the port |
Reason for call | Tells you the reason for the port call. |
Arrival | Shows you date and time for arrival at the port. |
Departure | Hidden by default. Shows you date and time for departure from the port. |
Draft | Intake draft reduction of the vessel. Lower value increases intake. |
Zone | Sets the vessel DWT that is used in the calculation. |
Water Salinity | One of Saltwater/Brackish Water/Fresh Water. Affects the water density. |

This page gives an entail into the tab 'Bunkers' inside the Voyage module.
The Bunker module is split into three parts: 1. Bunker Indices; 2. Bunker Stock Summary; 3. Bunker Stock Details.
Yet, the Print EUA Statement button is always visible. This function generated a descriptive report of EU ETS consumed per port, specifying the percentage used in calculations, and associated consumption per leg.
Bunker Indices: this section helps to have a better overview of bunker indices even when the fuel types FO and LS MGO are not consumed by a vessel. By default, the section is collapsed, providing information regarding the bunker indices. Once expanded, the indices can be altered. Refer to Figure 1 for example:
The Bunker Stock Summary contains cards associated with the respective consumed fuel type. The core idea is to provide a brief overview of consumed bunkers and derived costs (Ref. Figure 2).
Bunker Details serves the same idea as Bunker Stocks Summary but provides more detailed and specific information. The table items can be filtered to show only the Consumption or Bunkering rows (ⓘ interact with the filter options in the top right of each table card).
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:
You are able to keep in control of all your organisations inserted cargoes using the cargo module in VMS.
Open the Cargoes module from the menu on the left.
In the top right corner, click Create .
Select Create New Cargo.
In the modal, you can fill in the required fields and add any additional information about the new cargo.
Click Create.
Load Port
Discharge Port
Charterer
Commodity
The new Create Cargo modal has a new design to increase the productivity while creating a cargo, is more user-friendly and has more useful features altogether. Click on the picture below to get a better view of the details:
Similar to the design above, we now have a new Create Cargo Port modal:
With the new multiple value component in the Create Cargo modal, you are now able to add multiple Load- and Discharge- cargo ports to the new cargo.
The fields are divided into 2 sections, while the 3rd section displays the Timeline component of the cargo ports that are added. In the Create Cargo Port modal, there are 2 sections, in which the 2nd one contains the Timeline.
It is possible to drag and drop the ports in the Timeline component to change the order of the cargo port rows, in both of the modals.
To see the new Create Cargo and Create Cargo Port modals for allocated cargoes, click here: Cargo Actions!
This modal has the same features as the Create Cargo modal, listed below. To create a new cargo port on a cargo, there is now a simple icon at the top of the Cargo Port Timeline section of the cargo drawer. However unlike the Create Cargo modal, Reason for Call is set to 'Loading' by default and is limited to only 'Loading' and 'Discharging' for cargo ports.To change the order of ports, you can use the drag and drop features inside the modal. To edit or delete an existing cargo port you can, in the Cargo Port Timeline section, look for the grey icons on each of the cargo port rows, to specifically focus on a cargo port of choice to make the changes. Read more about the features below.
Long TC Voyages, Schedule, and the functionality.
To recognize Long TC Voyages in the system, look for two key indicators: the Voyage Type labeled as (TC) and information in the schedule section. An example of a Long TC Voyage is shown in the screenshot below:
The blue rectangle represents Port Calls that occurred before the current Voyage.
"See All Port" is a link that, when clicked, opens a new browser tab displaying all Port Calls associated with the selected Voyage.
"Show More" is a link that allows you to add up to 5 additional Port Calls per click on the current Voyage's schedule. These added Port Calls will remain visible throughout the system unless the voyage is reopened.
To efficiently create a cargo, and link them with CoAs, you can create a cargo based on a CoA Template. The CoA Templates are the template cargoes that are maintained in the CoA module.
Open the Cargoes module from the menu on the left.
In the top right corner, click Create .
Select Create New Cargo From CoA Template.
In the modal, select a CoA template to create the new cargo. The fields that are pre-filled are the ones that were filled in when creating the CoA itself, which the new cargo will inherit.
Click Create.
The modal is now draggable, making it easier to see the information "behind" the modal. Hover over the title or the top of the modal to activate it.
Looks and works quite similar to Create Voyage From Template.
To maintain the cargo click the cargo in the list. The selected cargo will be opened in a cargo drawer where you can edit fields, copy cargo, create a pdf from the booking and so forth. Click the cargo drawer page here to see more details.
Learn about the cargo actions in FAS: Cargo Actions.
At the top of the drawer you can find a dropdown menu with available statuses for a cargo, which will open by clicking on 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 in the Cargo drawer changes to be B/L Quantity. Meaning, when changing the Cargo Quantity on a 'Clean Fix"'cargo, it only changes the B/L Quantity, and not the Booked Quantity.
For a cargo, you can change the status to 'Loaded' only from the status 'Clean Fix'. You are also able to change back to 'Clean Fix' from the status 'Loaded'. The same Deadfreight/Overage, Booked Quantity, etc. calculations will happen when in these two statuses. Likely, this status will be used to mark the last transition of a cargo.
All cargoes on a voyage will have their status changed to 'Clean Fix' when the voyage is changed to 'Nominated' status. The only exception to this is if the cargo already has status 'Loaded'.
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.
Once the required fields are filled in the create button will be activated and you can create the Various Cost.
To add a Various Revenue click the blue 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 Various Revenue.
To delete either a Various Cost or a Various Revenue select the item from the table by clicking the checkbox on the far left side.
Once one or more items are selected you can click the trashcan to delete the selected item(s).
Within a TC voyage drawer, the Cargo tab is enabled for you to create new cargoes on the voyage:
You cannot create a cargo from CoA templates
You cannot create a cargo if there are no load- or discharge port calls on the voyage
Even when we have the delivery/redelivery port calls
You need to create at least one loading- and discharging port calls on the voyage schedule (unique values)
You can only create cargoes with cargo ports based on the port calls in the voyage schedule
The port selectors on the upper-left side of the modal are restricted to only display these cargo ports (also with its attached terminals)
The following actions are disabled from the secondary drawer actions:
Unallocate Cargo
Allocoate Cargo
Relet
Transship
Preship
Transfer
In the FAS Cargo Management board, these following actions are disabled:
Dragging an unallocated cargo to a TC voyage
Dragging an allocated cargo on a TC voyage to Commitments
Dragging an allocated cargo from one TC voyage to another voyage (TC or not)
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.
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 Main Cargo Details 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.
To add another tier, click the icon in the top right of the list. This will bring up the modal to create a new tier. Enter the quantity from which this tier will be valid.
When you open the cargo drawer this is the top section of the drawer.
By clicking the various tabs you get the relevant information about the cargo. Check out the next pages for information about the different tabs.
On the left side you will see the cargo reference, status of the cargo, and if it is a spot or CoA cargo.
On the right side you have primary actions; PDF and copy. The three dots is a dropdown with secondary actions for the drawer. If you click the three dots you will be presented with the below view as a drop down:
You can allocate/unallocate the cargo.
You can delete a cargo.
You can arrange Tranship, Preship or Transfer the cargo.
You can also connect the cargo to a CoA and remove the CoA connection when connected.
And finally you have the option to view the audit log or append attachments to the cargo.
In the Payment Terms tab you can enter the payment details as per above fields.
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:
On the right side, below the Bunker Adjustment section, you can enter external reference, Trade, Cargo Text, Comment, Company, Business Unit and Cargo Operator:
At the bottom of this tab there is be a list of Relets and Transhipments for the cargo:
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 dialogue for allocation.
The allocation dialogue is a three-step process. Once you have selected a vessel, a list of all the voyages on the vessel will appear. Sort and filter the list to find the exact voyage you want, select it, and a preview of the voyage schedule will appear, with cargo ports on the left, and port calls on the right. The scheduler will attempt to link the existing port calls on the voyage with the cargo's cargo ports. If no port call exists, a new one will be created at the end of the voyage. These are denoted by a blue "NEW" chip. You can re-arrange the port calls by dragging and dropping.
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.
Field name | Disabled when |

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.
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.
In the Sub-cargoes tab you may enter sub-cargoes
By clicking the blue plus icon in the top right corner you can create sub-cargoes.
Once clicked the below modal will appear:
Once the required fields are filled in the create button will be activated and you may create the sub-cargo. The modal for editing a sub-cargo is identical.
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.
In the comments tab there is a list of previous comments made, and at the bottom you can add new comments.
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.
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.
When ticking the checkbox the port calls marked in red will also be deleted from the schedule.

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".
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 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".
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.
If you click the Connect to CoA button in the secondary actions menu on in a Cargo Drawer,

Open the Port Calls List module in the Core section.
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 you have located a Port Call from the Port Call list, click it and the details will show in a panel (so called "drawer") on the right hand side.
At the top of the drawer you can locate an action menu with several action options:
In the Port Call drawer, you can look through the different tabs below to display all the relevant information:
More detailed information in each of the tabs you can find under in the Port Calls section. Ex. "View Service Orders on Port Calls" for more information about Service Orders in each Port Call.
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
Clicking the 'Remove CoA' button will instantly disconnect the CoA link from the Cargo.
A list of sub-cargoes can be found under Cargoes menu item as a tab at the top of the page.
The list contains sub-cargoes from allocated and unallocated cargoes.
To edit a a sub-cargo, click an item in the list to see a dialog window open.
Showing the average days extra in port for load- and discharging ports. This is only enabled when Days Extra In Port is the same for all Port Calls of the same Reason For Call. When updating, all Port Calls with the same Reason For Call will be updated. Days Extra In Port can also be updated when editing a port call.
It is possible to change the instructed speed for each port call. This is a choice limited to the vessels speed and consumption combinations only depending on the leg being in ballast or laden.
The dropdown shows both the speed and consumption
Each speed will only affect the port call (leg) in question.
To add a speed for a vessel see the vessel documentation.

If you prefer to always use the cost from Service Order you can automate this functionality by asking your Administrator to enable this under the System Settings
Once this functionality is enable the Use Cost from Service Order checkbox in the Port Call drawer will be disabled and the users will no longer be able to override this.
It will still be possible to enter a total estimated port cost in the Port Call drawer or create a drafted Service Orders and update them as needed without impacting any other calculations.
Once the Service Order status is changed to Estimate, Revised or Final it will no longer be possible to do any changes of port cost directly on the Port Call
This tab contains all the main details for each of the port calls. Here we have the tile boxes displaying a vessel's number of days "at sea", as well as the "average speed/consumption", days "in port" and the "port cost". There are also sections for Sea Passage and Port, as well as sections for Comment and the Bunkers table. We also have a new Map component displaying a port call. By zooming out you will get the whole voyage that is linked to the port call:
From 6.29 release, EU ETS Emissions will be available for viewing in the tile boxes.
The Sea Passage- and the Port sections contains these fields:
Look here for some more information about Speed Order.
Arrival-, Berthed- and Departure dates are validated with comparisons to the Voyage Start- and Previous Portcall Departure dates, for correct date range. If the date you are trying to add is out of range, a warning prompt will show up, and you can choose different dates.
The Comment section is useful if you want to add in more additional information about a vessel or a voyage.
At the bottom of the Overview tab, we have the Bunkers table. It has been updated and contains now the fields "arrival", "arrival fixed", "quantity", "consumption", "departure", "departure fixed":

In this article you will learn more about how to enter and maintain port costs on a port call.
Port costs can be entered in two different ways:
Adding the total estimated port cost directly on the port call, or
Creating detailed service orders for the port call.
In the port call drawer Overview tab locate the Port Cost field in the Port Details section on the bottom right corner. Here you can add the total port costs for the given port call
Service orders can be used to enter a more detailed port costs for each port call. Follow steps in this article Create Service Order to create a Service order.Once the service order is created with the estimated costs and you are ready to apply this Service Order to the port call
