...

  • Rate Differential Start/End: The Rate Differential starts/ends.
  • Join/Depart Voyage: The piece of equipment joins/departs the tow. 
    • For Equipment TC Contract equipment: The Join event type is used for equipment that was already on hire (that is, on another tow) under the same Equipment Contract. Therefore, the Join event is typically paired with a Depart event from another tow.
    • For Equipment Spot Contract voyages: For Spot voyages, the Join event is not paired with a Depart event.
    • You are required to enter fuel ROB and Price with the Join event.
      • If the Join event is paired with a Depart event from another tow, the Join event's fuel ROB and Price values will be mirrored with those of the Depart event and you do not need to enter them with the Join event.
      • The fuel ROB and Price do not generate bunker adjustments on the Hire Payment form.
    • When a voyage status changes from Scheduled to Commenced, the date and time of every Equipment Joins Tow event changes to match the actual start date and time of the voyage.
  • Delivery/Redelivery: Equipment is delivered from/redelivered to the owner. Applies only to Equipment TC Contracts.
    • Delivery and Redelivery are used to determine the amounts due to the owner under the Equipment TC Contract.
    • You are required to enter fuel ROB and Price with the Delivery event. This creates a bunker adjustment on the Hire Payment form.
  • Voyage Start/End: The piece of equipment joins/departs the voyage. For all voyages, the Voyage Start row dates are kept in sync with the date and time the voyage commences. Voyage Start rows can be created manually, and Voyage End rows are automatically generated.
    • For consecutive voyages:
      • IMOS creates Voyage Start events for each piece of equipment that remained in the previous voyage as of that voyage's end: The Voyage End list of equipment of the first voyage (yellow rows) will be mirrored with the Voyage Start list of equipment (blue rows) of the second voyage. 
        • If the end date/time of the first voyage changes, all of these items (the yellow rows in the first voyage, and the blue rows in the second voyage) all get updated automatically.
        • Because the equipment was already in the tow, its fuel ROB and Price do not need to be entered. ROB and price at the beginning of the voyage is calculated by the Bunker Interpolator.
        • These Voyage Start events cannot be modified or deleted.
    • For non-consecutive voyages:
      • IMOS will not mirror the equipment, like in consecutive voyages. Therefore, the second voyage will not contain any Voyage Start rows.
      • To create Voyage Start rows automatically, select the Use Equipment from Cargo check box when scheduling the Voyage from the Cargo form.
      • If a consecutive voyage is made non-consecutive, The Voyage Start events can be deleted or modified.
