In Cargo Matching, you can use any of these methods to create Estimates to analyze cargo/vessel matches:

• Drag and drop cargo.
• Find the best cargo for the vessel.
• View the last five cargoes to check compatibility.
• Find the best vessel for the cargo.
• Match the best vessel for the cargo.
• Create a worksheet with one or more Estimates.

When you designate an Estimate as Intended, it appears on the Vessel Schedule  and Cargo Schedule  as color-coded Estimate bars.

Dragging and Dropping a Cargo

Dragging and dropping is the fastest way to create an Intended Estimate. From the Cargo Schedule, drag a cargo to the Vessel Schedule and drop it on the vessel row. The Intended Estimate appears in the Vessel Schedule and is added to both the Cargo and Vessel Position Worksheets.

Finding the Best Cargo

To find the best cargo for the vessel, in the Vessel Schedule, right-click the vessel and click Find Best Cargo. The Best Estimate List appears, with the best options of all the cargoes.

...

To make sure that the next planned cargo is compatible, you can see the last five cargoes loaded by the vessel by adding the Last 5 Cargoes column to the Vessel Position List. You can join this column in via the Vessel table in the Report Designer.

...

To find the best vessel for the cargo, in the row for a cargo in the Cargo List, or on the bar for a cargo in the Cargo Schedule, right-click and click Find Best Vessel. The Best Estimate List appears, with the best options of all the vessels.

...

To match the best vessel for the cargo, in the row for a cargo in the Cargo List, or on the bar for a cargo in the Cargo Schedule, right-click and click Match Best Vessel. An Estimate Worksheet is created, with an Estimate for the vessel with the highest profit that can meet the cargo laycan. The Estimate for that vessel appears on the Vessel Schedule. If no vessel can meet the cargo laycan, a message appears.

• Configuration flag CFGBlockMatchBestVesselOnAlert prevents a match if it would trigger an error Alert. If a match is prevented, the event is logged for troubleshooting.
