The Laytime Calculations module can be located from the menu under Operations.

1. Open the Laytime Calculation module in the Operations section.

2. Click Create Laytime Calculationin the top right corner.

Open the Laytime Calculations module in the Operations section.

There are several options available for you to narrow down what you include in the list view.

Starting with release 8.10, the system lets you create a laytime calculation for a canal passage; once created, you can add the time allowed and any deductions to register canal demurrage. The time allowed, as well as any time deductions, will not affect laytime calculations at other ports.

Note: As soon as a canal is included, the calculation is marked as reversible, and you cannot change the aggregation type unless you first remove every canal entry from the calculation.

Creating a Canal Port Laytime Calculation

To create a canal calculation you must select the canal itself in addition to at least one port before it and one port after it. For example, in the figure below, Bergen and Singapore must both be chosen as well as Suez Canal.

Removing a Canal Port Laytime Calculation

To remove a canal calculation, locate the canal’s section header and click the trash-can icon at the top right. A confirmation popup will ask you to confirm the removal; once confirmed, the canal entry is deleted and its demurrage is deducted from the total.

Adding Time Not To Count

Adding time not to count can be used to control the time used, and therefore, the incurred demurrage. To add one, locate and click, the blue plus-button in the top-right of the Time Sheet. This will open a modal where you can enter the time not to count. To improve the process of adding time deductions, a new days field has been introduced, as seen in the figure below.

When you have located a laytime calculation, click on it and the details will show in a panel (so called "drawer") on the right hand side. The panel will also open after creating a new laytime calculation.

The panel contains an Overview tab for maintaining a laytime calculation and managing the cargo ports.

Laytime Statement can be printed from the PDF icon top-right in the Laytime Drawer.

In the header of a selected laytime calculation panel, the current status can be viewed. Clicking on it will activate a dropdown menu and a new status can be selected. A laytime calculation can have one of the following statuses:

Cargo ports in the panel list are sorted ascending by the cargo port's port call sequence .

Adding a cargo port:

1. In the cargo ports section, click the create iconin the right corner.

2. Selected cargo port(s).

3. Click Create. The new cargo port will appear as a new panel in the panels list

Panel fields

Each panel contains a summary of the cargo port with the following fields:

• Reason for call

• Port

• Terminal

• Quantity

Removing a cargo port:

1. In the panel of the cargo port to be removed, click the delete icon.

2. Click Remove in the dialog that appears to confirm removal.

By clicking the expand icon on a panel, the following sections can be viewed and managed:

From version 6.39 users with the Laytime Contributor role have the option to delete Laytime Calculations. Deleting a Laytime Calcluation will run the Voyage business logic and re calculate things that have been changed by the Laytime Calculation. • Please notice that Fixed demurrage and Fixed Dispatch that were added in the laytime to all connected ports would NOT be deleted from the ports after the laytime was removed! To delete a Laytime Calculation you must first access the laytime calculation drawer, you can go about this in 2 ways: 1. Open the Voyage drawer that the Laytime Calculation is connected to -> Click on the Related tab -> Pick the Laytime Calculation you desire to delete from the Laytime Calculations list. 2. In the main VMS menu click on Operations -> Laytime Calculations -> Either use the quick filters to find the relevant Laytime Calculation or pick it out from the list. Once you are in the Laytime Calculation drawer you will see a new button was added:

When clicking on the button you will be prompt to confirm/cancel the deletion, if there are any ports connected to the Laytime Calculation a notice will appear about it in the deletion modal:

Once you confirm all Laytime Events will be removed and only the events connected to Port Calls / Cargo Ports will remain and the Business Logic for Voyage would be run to re-calculate changed to the Voyage.

When expanding a cargo port panel, the statement of facts section can be found. This section contains a list of events imported from both the cargo port and the port call port log. You can control which events are shown here by going to Master Data -> Events. Here you have a list of events (More can be added with the blue + icon), here is a small example of some of the events that can be found there:

You can find more information regarding events here: . Please note that only events fitting the vessel type in question will appear here. More information can be found in the provided link.

To add an event click on the blue + icon, select the event and date (both required) and click Add.

After confirming you will see the new event added to your Statement of Facts list for this port. Your selected new event should appear with the selected date and time:

To edit or delete an event simply click on the the row that contains it, Here you can edit the date or select delete in the modal that appears and confirm - Note that this will delete it from the Statement of Facts list but NOT from the port log event list in the port call drawer while editing the date will effect both locations.

The top section of the overview tab contains key information about a laytime.

The next section contains the following fields that can be edited.

When expanding a cargo port panel, a section for displaying and editing certain fields of the cargo port can be found. The number of fields visible depends on the type of port call, aggregation and more.

It is now possible to synchronize events and deductions (not to counts) between a relet, internal, and the corresponding spot cargo.

This reduces the manual effort needed when reletting a cargo since you no longer have to copy the events and deductions manually.

Functionality Availability Criteria:

• Minimum of two Laytime Calculations required.

• Cargo ports must belong to the same port call but be associated with different cargoes.

• Cargo types should differ, categorized as SPOT, Relet, or Internal.

How It Works

When synchronizing the relet, internal, or spot cargo, all, as well as the events, will be copied from the corresponding cargo.

For example, if you click 🔄 'Synchronize Events & Deductions' on a SPOT (ref. figure 2), all events from the Relet cargo (ref. figure 1) will be copied to the SPOT (ref. figure 3).

Synchronizing Events and Deductions

To synchronize a relet with its corresponding spot cargo, follow these steps:

1. Open the tab in the Voyage Drawer.

2. Expand the Laytime Calculations to access the Cargo Port Panel List.

3. In the Cargo Port Panel List, a Synchronize Events and Deductions button will be available for all relet, internal and corresponding spot cargo ports.

To make it easier to identify which cargoes are relet and connected to a spot cargo, a chip has been added to the section header. See the figures below.

To prevent accidental overwrites, a confirmation modal will appear with a brief explanation. You must confirm your choice before synchronization. See Figure 7.

If there is only one cargo port to synchronize from, it will be preselected. If multiple cargo ports are available, a dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to choose which cargo to copy from.

Deletion of Cargo

Deleting either the relet or its connected spot cargo does not affect the other. Synchronization only occurs when you manually click the button and confirm the action.

The cargo port panel contains a list of all periods not to be counted.

Time to count can also be viewed in the table and are calculated after each new not to count period is added. They are not editable.

Adding a new not to count period

1. Click the create icon on top of the list.

2. Fill in all required fields listed below in the Add Time Not to Count window.

3. Click Create.

Editing a not to count period

1. Click the edit icon on the right side of the not to count row.

2. Change the fields in the Edit Time Not to Count window.

3. Click Save.
