In the Veson IMOS Platform, a bunker inquiry is a Bunker Purchase with Purchase Status Inquiry. The Bunker Purchase form captures all the data related to a bunker inquiry or purchase, including the purchase type, purchase number, order date, and user who placed the order.

Bunker Purchase List

The Bunker Purchase List includes all bunker inquiries and purchases, one per row, of any status.

For most bunker specialists, the Bunker Purchase List will function as the primary work list for managing the bunker purchase process; others might prefer to use the Bunker Lifting List.

On the Operations menu , under Bunkers, next to Bunker Purchase, click List.

• Grey rows do not have a Purchase No. and are not clickable.

You can do any of the following:

• Filter the list to manage all active inquiries and orders.
• See completed purchases and add purchase details.
• See historical data regarding inquiries and purchases per port, per vendor, or per fuel type, to compare costs and performance at different ports and with different vendors.
• Open or create bunker inquiries or purchases.

     • Density Claim: Select if the density of the fuel provided on the bunker receipt does not correspond to the correct conversions for volume at standard temperature and weight.
     • Shortage Claim: Select if there is a quantity shortage.
     • Offspec Claim: Select if the fuel does not satisfy the quality requirements set by the contract or regulation.
     • Demurrage Claim: Select if the purchase of bunker fuel, which is delivered by barge or tanker, has resulted in demurrage charges.

In the Bunker Lifting List Claims column, the above-mentioned claim types are also visible as comma-separated values (e.g., Density, Shortage, Offspec, Demurrage). When filtering, it is possible to filter according to one claim type, and all the liftings that have that claim type are displayed.
