Port Function Codes
Do not change the Port Function Codes. Editing Port Functions is for advanced users only.
Code | Port Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
C | Commencing | First port function for all voyages, designating the start sea passage time. |
D | Discharging | Requires that a Cargo Handling line exists, as well as B/L Information. |
F | Fueling | Even though received bunkers can be tracked on other functions (such as L or D), using this function is beneficial to designate that you are making a call for bunkers only. It also allows you to build in waiting/fueling time. |
I | Canal Transit | Used for transit through a canal, cape, or transit due to proximity (i.e. the route has to go through the point); you cannot track cargo handled. When this Port Function is selected on an Estimate, a Tolls line item appears in the P&L Estimate column, and all estimated port expenses will be recorded under this item only. To have a canal expense listed under “Port Expenses” instead of “Tolls” in the P&L, enter the expense under Detailed Port Expenses in Voyage Estimate Other Revenues/Expenses. |
L | Loading | Requires that a Cargo Handling line exists, as well as B/L Information. |
O | Other | Used as a miscellaneous Port Function and allows you to track time and fuel used at a given location; commonly used for At Sea delays. |
P | Passing | Used to define a route that passes through a specific location; you cannot track port activities, port expenses or bunkers received. |
R | Repair | Similar to O, but specifies that repairs are in progress for the ship. |
T | Terminating | Optional function that is commonly used to designate a repositioning port. |
W | Waiting | Similar to O, but specifies that the ship is being ordered to wait outside of the port. Incorporates into waiting and unused time for reports. |
Y | Delivery | Note: Time Charter (TC) only. Specifies the exact time when a time chartered ship is delivered. Necessary for TC Out voyages, as this will sync time and fuel between the Voyage Manager and TC forms. |
Z | Redelivery | Note: TC only. Function Z = Redelivery should be used in the itinerary when vessel is being redelivered to owner at port different than the discharging port. T = terminating port function is not required. Specifies the exact time when a time chartered ship is redelivered. Necessary for TC Out voyages, as this will sync time and fuel between the Voyage Manager and Time Charter forms. |

Linking a Port Function with a DelayEntering Delay Type and Delay Reason values in the Delay Type and Reason columns links the Port Function with a Delay. When that Port Function is used in an Estimate or a voyage, and the Port Days value is not zero, a Delay is created with the linked port dates and time zone; it can only be edited in the Voyage Manager Itinerary. Example:
To have default Delay Bunkers values recorded when a Waiting delay is automatically created for a Port Function, select the Default Delay Bunkers check box; the Port Function must have an Delay Type selected.
