The Veson IMOS Platform (VIPIMOS) Schedule Optimizer is a proprietary algorithm, built on top of the Scheduling workspace, designed to optimize a voyage schedule for either of the following two variables:

• Percent of laycans met for cargoes in the book

• TCE of the voyage scenario

The optimizer can be used either from the Scheduling workspace, ideal for a voyage-centric workflow, or from the Cargo Book workspace, ideal for a cargo-centric workflow.

The Schedule Optimizer is beneficial for Schedulers, Freight Traders, Charterers, Operators, and Managers at organizations that manage high volumes of often similar voyages.

The optimizer can co-load cargoes, but there are two important behaviors to understand:

1. If a vessel has already loaded a cargo that is assigned to a shipment, it won't load cargoes that aren't in that shipment until it has finished the shipment. The vessel also won't start working on a shipment if it already has other cargoes loaded. A cargo is considered to be part of a shipment if it has a shipment number associated with it, even if it is the only cargo in the shipment.

2. There is no checkbox or setting to turn co-loading on or off, but if the user does not want co-loading, they can assign shipment numbers. Because of the rules described above, that will prevent co-loading.
