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 transportation of a cargo from a location to that cargo's load port in an existing cargo booking.
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.

Learn about the cargo actions in FAS: Cargo Actions.
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.

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.
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. Any new necessary port calls will be created on the voyage.
Navigate to these pages to read more about the various Cargo Drawer actions:
In the comments tab there is a list of previous comments made, and at the bottom you can add new comments.
When you open the cargo drawer you see on the top left the vessel and voyage the cargo is allocated to, if it is an allocated cargo. You can click both chips to open the vessel drawer or the voyage drawer.
Next you see the cargo reference, which is a unique identifier of the cargo. You can edit the cargo reference under the three dots.
Then you see the cargo status and can change the cargo status.
You also see the Cargo Type, which is automatically set by the system.
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 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 to move it to a voyage, change the voyage it is on or remove it from the current voyage.
You can delete a cargo.
You can relet a cargo to another owner.
You can convert the cargo to relet to change the cargo to be a freight cost instead of freight revenue.
You can add a Transhipment, Preshipment or Transfer of 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.
The convert cargo to relet function gives you the possibility to change your cargo from generating a freight revenue to instead generating a freight cost.
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 More and select Convert Cargo to Relet.
The cargo type will now change to be and the cargo freight will be considered a cost in the voyage profit and loss calculation.
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 More and select Convert Cargo to Non-Relet.
The cargo type will now change to be or and the cargo freight will be considered a revenue again in the voyage profit and loss calculation.
In the Payment Terms tab you can enter the payment details as per above fields.
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'.
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.
Cargo Type | Meaning |

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.
If you click the Connect to CoA button in the secondary actions menu on in a Cargo Drawer,
you will open the Connect to CoA modal:
In this modal you choose which CoA Line you want to connect the Cargo to and click Confirm to connect it. Doing so will update the Company and Business Unit of the Cargo to be the same as the Company and Business Unit of the CoA.
When you have connected the cargo to a CoA Line, you will see a chip at the top of the Cargo Drawer that says Contract of Affreightment as well as which CoA Line you've connected it to (40129002 in this example).
The CoA number chip (40129002) is a clickable chip that will open up the drawer of the CoA.
A cargo transfer is a type of transshipment where a cargo is transported on two voyages. The cargo is transported on the first voyage to an intermediate 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 More and 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 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 More and select Relet to Another Owner.
Fill in the "Owner" field and click Confirm.
Reletting a cargo will create a copy holding most of the same data of the cargo to be relet in the system. This new cargo has cargo type and thus it is has a freight cost instead of a freight revenue.
that was relet.
Find the relet listed under "Relets and Transhipments" in the cargo drawer and click to open it.
At the top right in the drawer, click Moreand select Delete.
Editing the cargo quantity, measurement unit, commodity or the planned BL Date of a relet cargo or its connected cargo will trigger an identical change on the other cargo to keep them synchronised on these fields.
