Excerpt

The Barging module is a set of features that configures IMOS to support the workflows particular to the barging business. Since barging involves many short, quick voyages with multiple boats or barges, this is a much different approach to moving cargo than the typical single vessel voyage workflow.

The Barging module adds support for:

  • Boats: Formerly inland tugs. Boats are represented as vessels with Type Code Boat.
  • Barges: Barges are represented as vessels with Type Code Barge.
  • Tows: Formerly Inland Units. A Tow is a combination of one boat and one or more barges which are working as a unit. A tow goes on a voyage, not an individual boat or barge. Tows are represented as vessels with Type Code Tow.
  • Equipment Contracts: Equipment Contracts support boats and barges. There are two types: Equipment TC contracts and Equipment Spot contracts. Separate pricing for boats and barges is supported.
