The Master Data section houses the core data, for example, clients, vessels, etc., accounting parameters, and any other data required to successfully operate the different modules of the system. Master Data is a single source of basic business data used across the VMS in the modules and is shared by multiple users. To enable full usage of the system it is necessary to enter data into this section.
Each master data page follows the same design where you get a list of master data when opening the page. Create a new master data object with the + button above the list and maintain the master data object by opening a drawer when clicking a master data object in the list.
Note! You may enable the feature to make the Company and Business Unit fields depend on each other. If one of the details is set, you may tee linked items that correlate to the former attribute when selecting the second field. Moreover, if you proceed with an element not linked to the former attribute, the first field will be cleared.
For example, there is Company A, which has a link to Business Unit A. When creating an object, after selecting Company A and expanding the Business Unit, you will get a list of options. The list will contain all the Business Units, but Business Unit A will be marked as linked to the selected Company. Next, if linked Business Unit A is chosen, you will end up with Company A and Business unit A. Otherwise, if the selected Business Unit is not linked to the preferred Company, the Company field will get cleared, and you may observe a list of Companies related to the selected Business Unit.
This page contains information about Events and related characteristics.
The Event module is designed to facilitate the documentation of various events that occur during a Cargo Port/Port Call. These events can be anything from simple notes like "Loading Completed" to more complex actions such as "Anchored" or "Captain arrived!".
By using the Event module, users can easily document and keep track of important events that occur during a Cargo Port/Port Call.
Each event in the module is identified by a set of attributes which include:
Event Description - brief text that reflects the meaning of an event.
Event Type - can be either Cargo Port or Port Call. The type allows defining when the event takes place.
Vessel Categories - allows selecting vessel categories to which the created event will be applied.
Event Code - unique identifier for easier navigation.
Sort Order - shows the position at which the chosen event will show up among those events that also satisfy the same Event Type and Vessel Category.
An event can be used in Laytime calculations. If the corresponding checkbox is clicked, the event will show up automatically at the specified position in the Laytime calculation module under a Cargo Port.
The description of port call event types (Arrival, Berth, Unberth, Departure) are reflected on labels across the system.
Administrators can modify the event description to suit your requirements.
Changes to these events will be applied to the following sections of the system:
This page allows viewing available Ice Classes for Classification Societies.
The Ice Class page provides a comprehensive overview of the supported Ice Classes linked to their respective Classification Societies.
Furthermore, the Ice Class module enables the configuration of rebates for EU ETS compliance. This means that if a vessel belongs to one of the Ice Classes that have rebates set up, the total EU ETS cost will be reduced by the rebate percentage. In other words, the EU ETS cost will be 100% minus the rebate percentage.
The screenshot depicts the IAS2 Ice Class and associated rebates. If the Voyage's vessel has an Ice Class, the rebate percentage is subtracted from the EU ETS cost.
