Port Function

Description

C

Commencing

First port function for all voyages, designating the start sea passage time.

D

Discharging

Requires that a Cargo Handling line exists, as well as B/L Information.

F

Fueling

Even though received bunkers can be tracked on other functions (such as L or D), using this function is beneficial to designate that you are making a call for bunkers only. It also allows you to build in waiting/fueling time.

I

Canal Transit

Used for transit through a canal, cape, or transit due to proximity (i.e. the route has to go through the point); you cannot track cargo handled. When this Port Function is selected on an Estimate, a Tolls line item appears in the P&L Estimate column, and all estimated port expenses will be recorded under this item only. To have a canal expense listed under “Port Expenses” instead of “Tolls” in the P&L, enter the expense under Detailed Port Expenses in Voyage Estimate Other Revenues/Expenses.

L

Loading

Requires that a Cargo Handling line exists, as well as B/L Information.

O

Other

Used as a miscellaneous Port Function and allows you to track time and fuel used at a given location; commonly used for At Sea delays.

P

Passing

Used to define a route that passes through a specific location; you cannot track port activities, port expenses or bunkers received.

R

Repair

Similar to O, but specifies that repairs are in progress for the ship.

T

Terminating

Optional function that is commonly used to designate a repositioning port.

W

Waiting

Similar to O, but specifies that the ship is being ordered to wait outside of the port. Incorporates into waiting and unused time for reports.

Y

Delivery

Note: Time Charter (TC) only.

Specifies the exact time when a time chartered ship is delivered. Necessary for TC Out voyages, as this will sync time and fuel between the Voyage Manager and TC forms.

Z

Redelivery 

Note: TC only. Function Z = Redelivery should be used in the itinerary when vessel is being redelivered to owner at port different than the discharging port. T = terminating port function is not required.

Specifies the exact time when a time chartered ship is redelivered. Necessary for TC Out voyages, as this will sync time and fuel between the Voyage Manager and Time Charter forms.

Excerpt

Linking a Port Function with a Delay

Entering Delay Type and Delay Reason values in the Delay Type and Reason columns links the Port Function with a Delay. When that Port Function is used in an Estimate or a voyage, and the Port Days value is not zero, a Delay is created with the linked port dates and time zone; it can only be edited in the Voyage Manager Itinerary.

Example:

  1. Define this Delay Type:

    • WA, Waiting, Time Does Not Count

  2. Define these Delay Reasons:

    • WAITING FOR LAYCAN, WAITING, UNPLANNED OFFHIRE

    • WAITING FOR ORDERS, WAITING, UNPLANNED OFFHIRE

  3. For Port Function W:

    • Set Delay Type to WAITING

    • Set Reason to WAITING FOR LAYCAN

  4. To generate a Waiting Delay, insert a port with Port Function W.

To have default Delay Bunkers values recorded when a Waiting delay is automatically created for a Port Function, select the Default Delay Bunkers check box; the Port Function must have an Delay Type selected.

  • Quantity defaults to consumption per fuel type at the related W port.

  • Price defaults to the initial voyage price per fuel type.
