There are four possibilities to create a scenario:

• create from scratch

• create from MASTER fleetplan

• copy existing scenario

• create a budget scenario

In the scenario list you have a icon on the top left to create a new scenario. You can create a scenario from scratch, from the MASTER fleetplan or create a budget scenario. You can also copy an existing scenario.

Create from Scratch

When creating a scenario from scratch you enter a scenario name and click create.

Create from Master Fleetplan

When using the MASTER fleetplan to create a scenario, all voyages in the master fleetplan and their allocation are copied. Thus, unallocated voyages will be unallocated in the scenario and allocated voyages will be allocated to the same vessel. The first position of each vessel in the scenario schedule is defined by the start of the first voyage on the vessel.

The new scenario is called Master Fleetplan Scenario with a date and time stamp of the creation.

Copy existing scenario

To copy a scenario open its drawer in the scenario list. Select the action copy in the drawer to create a copy of the scenario.

Create budget scenario

Scenarios List

Navigate to the 'Scenarios' menu group to the left under the "Planning" module to find the list of scenarios. Here we have a list of all existing scenario, except for the MASTER scenario (which you cannot edit). The list contains these columns:

Here, you can easily navigate through the scenario named, number of vessels and voyages in the scenario and the type of scenario, and click on the desired scenario to open the drawer.

Scenario Types

This list of scenarios includes both the types budget and non-budget scenarios. To effectively list the desired type of scenarios, you can filter the list based on the type you want to see, with the quick filter 'Type' found above the list:

In the Type column, you will immediately be able to detect whether a scenario is of type budget or a non-budget (' - '):

To change an existing scenario, navigate to the 'Scenarios' menu group to the left, and open the Scenario drawer by clicking on the list row of choosing. Learn more about finding a scenario!

Actions

You have the following actions in the drawer:‌

• View in Open Positions Board

• Delete

• Copy

• Edit Scenario Name

• View Audit Log

• To access and upload attachments

Main Details tab

Here you have an overview of Average TCE, Average Days and Days Total of the whole scenario. The overview sections also contains information about whether the scenario is a budget, the number of voyages, template voyages and cargoes of the selected scenario:

Vessels tab

Vessels in the selected scenario can be managed from the list in the Vessels tab. Clicking on a vessel will lead to the vessels' drawer.

Add / Remove Vessel

1. Open the Scenario module in the Planning section.

2. Select a scenario and navigate to the Vessels tab.

4. Select/Deselect vessels in the Select Vessels dialog.

5. Click Confirm.

Inside a scenario drawer, you have a primary action for copying a scenario:

Then, a 3-stepper modal will show up and give you access to define what vessels, voyages and cargoes of that specific scenario you want to copy over to the "new" scenario. Firstly, you will be given the option to choose a name for the copied scenario:

By default, the "Copy of original scenario name" will be added at the input, until you decide for another name. Each of the scenario names should be unique to avoid duplicates in the system (there is a validation check for this when typing). Moreover, you can step through the modal to specify further:

Step 1 - Select Vessels

A list of pre-selected vessels of the original scenario that you want to copy from will show. You will have the option to un-check unwanted vessels for the "new" scenario as well. The list contains of vessels, which includes their allocated voyages and cargoes, from the selected scenario, and is sectioned by the vessel itself and its vessel type.

Features:

• You can filter by:

  • My Vessels

  • Vessel

  • Vessel Type

• When copying the MASTER scenario, only the future allocated voyages with their cargoes for the specified vessels are copied

• The checked vessels are persisted throughout the modal

• You are able to click the "Next" button even if you have selected zero vessels

Step 2 - Select Voyage Commitments

A list of pre-selected voyage commitments of the original scenario that you want to copy from will show. You will have the option to un-check unwanted voyages for the "new" scenario here too. The list contains of all the unallocated voyages, which includes their cargoes (both non-template), from the selected scenario. It's sectioned by reference number, voyage status, trade, start- and end dates, ballast-, load- and discharge ports.

Features:

• You can filter by:

  • Voyage

    • Reference Number

    • Voyage Status

  • Vessel

    • Name

    • Type

  • Area

    • Loading

    • Discharging

  • More

    • Commodity

    • Charterer

    • Trade

    • Commodity Class

    • Cargo Type

• The checked voyages are persisted throughout the modal

• You are able to click both the "Back" and "Next" buttons even if you have selected zero voyages

Step 3 - Select Cargo Commitments

A list of pre-selected cargo commitments of the original scenario that you want to copy from will show. You will have the option to un-check unwanted cargoes for the "new" scenario here as well. The list contains of all the unallocated cargoes (non-template) from the selected scenario, and is sectioned by cargo reference, cargo status, cargo type, load- and discharge ports, charterer, cargo quantity, commodity and trade.

Features:

• You can filter by:

  • Charterer

  • Cargo

    • Commodity

    • Commodity Class

    • Cargo Type

  • Trade

  • Area

    • Loading

    • Discharging

• The checked cargoes are persisted throughout the modal

• You are able to click both the "Back" at any time

• You are able to click the "Copy" button if you have selected at least one item, whether it's a vessel, voyage or a cargo

Budget Scenario

You also have the option to copy a budget scenario, by following the same instructions as for the non-budget scenarios. With this option, you will have the possibility to specify which vessels from the selected scenario you want to copy onto the "new" budget scenario:

A list of pre-selected vessels of the original budget scenario that you want to copy from will show. You will have the option to un-check unwanted vessels for the "new" budget scenario here too. The list contains of all the vessels, which includes their template voyages (with their linked voyages) and budgeted voyages, from the selected scenario. It's sectioned by the vessel itself and the vessel type.

Features:

• You can filter by:

  • My Vessels

  • Vessel

  • Vessel Type

• The template voyages includes

  • A link to the original voyage it was created from

  • Template cargoes

• The budgeted voyages, which are non-template voyage, includes

  • Non-template cargoes

• Both template- and budgeted voyages are budgets

• The checked vessels are persisted throughout the modal

• You are able to click the "Copy" button if you have selected at least one vessel item

Common Features

Skeletons:

On each of the steps, we have what are called "skeletons", which are shadow-like figures that will appear on the screen while we load data for each of the steps. This is to indicate that we are in fact loading data, and not having some type of internal error causing a freeze of the system.

Customise Columns:

All of the table lists in the Copy Scenario modal also have the customise columns feature, that have now been added to most of the lists in VMS.

This is a list of all scenarios, including budgets, in the system. The MASTER scenario is marked in capital letters and cannot be edited.

Actions

By clicking on a scenario, a drawer will open where you can create a copy or change the scenario name (in the Secondary Actions dropdown), as well as view information about its voyages, cargos, and vessels.

To create a new scenario follow the step-by-step guide: .
