Using an unallocated cargo

It is possible to create a new voyage and allocate an unallocated cargo by using the Use Unallocated Cargo button in the top of the modal. Clicking it will bring up another window with a list of unallocated cargos. Filter and search as needed, and select a cargo from the list.

After choosing a cargo, the create voyage modal will be automatically filled in with all the details from the cargo. Only the fields that are not coming from the cargo will remain editable.

Cargo intake calculations

When entering Quantity, Volume or Stowage Factor, the modal will automatically calculate the corresponding value. Updating Quantity or Stowage Factor will update Volume, and updating Volume will update the Stowage Factor. Selecting a Commodity will default the Stowage Factor to that of the commodity.

Steps:

1. Open the Voyages module from the menu on the left.

2. On the top right corner, click the icon.

3. Select Create Time Charter Out.

Swap Vessel is a functionality that allows you to change the vessel of the voyage, regardless the status of the voyage. There are two ways to change the vessel; through the Vessel field under Voyage Overview, or through the secondary action 'Swap Vessel'.

Swap Vessel for Estimate or Unallocated voyages

For voyages with status Estimate or Unallocated, you can only swap the vessel of the voyage through the Vessel field found under Voyage Overview section:

This works as a normal dropdown menu, that views all available vessels for you to click and swap to.

Swap Vessel for Allocated or above voyages

For voyages with status Allocated or above, you can only swap the vessel of the voyage through the secondary action called 'Swap Vessel':

Followed by clicking the action, this modal will pop up:

In this modal, a vessel must be selected to be able to swap. By default, the vessel you are currently on is selected. Meaning, you are always able to actually click on the Swap button (for now). After the swap, you are able to see the new vessel either as the above mentioned Vessel field under Voyage Overview, or at the top of the Voyage drawer, left-most (clickable) chip:

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.

"Forward" Status Transitions:

When changing status from Allocated to Unallocated, the following modal will show:

You will be given the option to select a new Vessel and/or Ballast Port to change to, but not required for unallocating.

The same also happens when changing from Nominated to Estimate.

From Unallocated to Estimate

When changing to these statuses, no modal will show.

Other

There are also other "backward" status transitions, like:

• Operational -> Nominated

• Operationally Closed -> Operational

-> This can be seen for most "forward" status transitions.

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.

Managing Port Calls

Schedule

This is a timeline of port calls on a voyage, in which the left side displays the ETA and ETD time- and dates, as well as Days Extra and Waiting Days, with the last two also having a hover/tooltip. On the right side displays the port calls, their reason for calls, Port Costs and Total Days, with also a tooltip on the last two here.

You can create, rearrange, delete and edit port calls directly from this section (click on the picture for better view):

Hover Toolbar

When hovering the mouse over a port call in the schedule, a toolbar in the upper right will appear.

• To change the order of port calls, simply hover over a port call to move it into place.

Locking Voyage Start Date and Waiting Days

Within the Schedule section, you will find a checkbox for locking the update of voyage start date and Waiting Days. This checkbox is not visible while the voyage has status Estimate or Unallocated:

Edit Schedule

This list displays a more detailed view of all the port calls in the schedule (click on the picture for better view):

Detailed Information

The first row, in yellow highlight, you can find the Port Call's Port Cost, Currency, Days L/D, Fix checkbox and Extra (days in port).

The next two rows, you can find the Cargo Port's Quantity, L/D Rate, Rule, Laytime Term, HC Rate, (HC) Currency, (HC) Measurement and HC Lumpsum checkbox.

All of these fields are editable. The cargo highlighted in blue in the Cargo List section will also have its port calls highlighted correspondingly in the Edit Schedule section, meaning, you are viewing the selected cargo's information.

Additional Hover Information:

This tooltip displays, per Port Call, the Counterpart, Quantity, HC Rate and Handling Cost for each of it's Cargo Ports. Again, with the selected cargo from the Cargo List section highlighted in blue.

Routing

TBA.

In the "Invoices" tab in the voyage drawer, you can efficiently see and manage the Pending Receivable/Payable document lines, as well as the Invoices connected to the voyage. The tab is only visible to voyages that do not have status "Estimate".

In the top right, you will find two buttons for printing the Owner and Charterer Statement. Below them, in the middle of the drawer, you will find a two or three-way toggle-button that allows you to switch between the receivable, payable and hire payable invoices (only if the vessel is on a TC In). Switching between these options will change both which pending document lines are displayed and the assembled invoices.

Pending section

This section show you a list of all document lines that have not yet been assembled. Clicking on any of them allows you to edit some of the fields. Selecting one or more document lines will allow you to assemble them into a Document.

Invoices section

The invoice-section shows a list of all assembled invoices, or their line items. When in the toggle-button is set to Receivable or Payable, only the invoices connected to the voyage are shown. However, when set to Hire Payable, all invoices associated with the TC In contract are displayed, and an additional column for Voyage Reference is added that indicates the voyage(s) billed within each invoice.

Clicking on an invoice will open a Document drawer, showing more details and allowing you to print them.

In the top left corner of the section, you will find a "View Line Items" button. Clicking it will change between displaying the assembled documents and their data, and displaying each individual document line. This may be useful if you are looking for a specific item, but don't know in which document it was assembled. The line items list has filters specific to this mode. Clicking one of the document lines will open the Document it belongs to in a new drawer.

Use the filters to quickly narrow down your selection. Depending on whether you are in Receivable, Payable or Pending Payable mode, as well as Document or Line Items view, the available filters change.

Filters 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 comparison sections

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 "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.

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.

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:

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.

Edit 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.

Only voyages of status "Estimate" and "Unallocated" can be deleted. Otherwise you must change the status before you can delete.

1. Find a voyage (i.e through the Voyages page).

2. Click to open the voyage you want to delete.

3. At the upper right corner of the panel, click Delete.

4. 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:

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.

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.

How to Convert to Template

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.

SPOT:

Both optional buttons will be available.

TC:

None of the optional buttons will be available.

CoA:

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.

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.

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.

Field choices when creating:

• Charterer

  • Which Cargoes to connect (based on which Charterer is chosen)

• Fixture Reference

• CP Date

• CP Form

Extra Features:

The fixtures list has a separate button to collapse/expand the cargo list of all the fixtures with one click as shown below:

The VMS provides powerful voyage tools for risk assessment and estimations on cargo capacity on port calls.

These tools are available from Voyages or PlanningFleet Plans

1. Click on a voyage in the voyages list or board to open it in the drawer.

2. At the top right, click on Functions.

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 consumed per port, specifying the percentage used in calculations, and associated consumption per leg.

1. 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:

1. 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).

1. 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).

To recognize Long TC Voyages in the system, look for two key indicators: the Voyage Type labeled as (TC) and information in the . An example of a Long TC Voyage is shown in the screenshot below:

1. The blue rectangle represents Port Calls that occurred before the current Voyage.

2. "See All Port" is a link that, when clicked, opens a new browser tab displaying all Port Calls associated with the selected Voyage.

3. "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.

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.

1. Click on a voyage in the list or board to open it in the drawer.

2. At the top right, click on Functions.

3. Select Voyage Intake Calculation.

Voyage Header Parameters

At the top, below the vessel-chip and voyage reference, fields for changing the stowage and bunker properties for the entire voyage are displayed.

Schedule Table

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.

Chart

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.

Loadline Information

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.

With the Sensitivity Analysis tool you can run calculations on a chosen parameter to evaluate risk.

1. Click on a voyage in the list or board to open it in the drawer.

2. At the top right, click on Functions.

3. Select Voyage Sensitivity Analysis.

Input parameters

Select a voyage parameter which is then adjusted by the numerical variance for each calculation.

Reading the chart

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.
