Excerpt

The Veson IMOS Platform (IMOS) 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.

To learn how to use the Schedule Optimizer, see Optimizing Your Schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

titleWhat can the Schedule Optimizer do? What can’t it do?

The Schedule Optimizer can ingest various data points from a client’s Open Positions and Cargo Book, and use this data to determine the most optimal schedule for the vessels and cargoes, with the goal of either maximizing laycans met or total TCE of the scenario.

When performing these calculations, the Schedule Optimizer takes the following data points into account:

For Open Positions:

For Cargo Book:

  • Vessel open basis date

  • Vessel size/DW

  • Vessel Restrictions

  • Draft

  • CP Qty and Optionality

  • Cargo Type

  • Load and Discharge Port(s)

  • Laycan Window

The Schedule Optimizer cannot yet optimize for SPOT or Market Vessels, as the algorithm requires operational information to determine vessel availability.
