Home > Berth Scheduling > Berth Management Activity

The Berth Management Activity workspace enables you to set default durations for berth-level Port Activities. Estimated activity times appear on the Berth Management form and can be adjusted and actualized from the Berth Schedule.

Berth Management Activity includes:

• Berth Mgmt Activity Details Rules

• Berth Management Activity List

Berth Mgmt Activity Details Rules

Berth Mgmt Activity Details Rules define Conditions, under which durations for berth-level Port Activities are set to default values in the Berth Schedule. These rules are similar to Task & Alert, Pricing, and other rules in the Veson IMOS Platform.

Defining a Rule

To define a rule, on the Berth Mgmt Activity Details Rule form:

1. Enter a Name and a Description.

2. Under Use this rule if, add Conditions and/or Groups of Conditions.
   Each Condition consists of a Variable, an Operator, and a Value, for example, Use this rule if X = Y.
   Groups of Conditions are evaluated together, like a part of a formula enclosed in parentheses, for example, Use this rule if (X = Y or X = Z).

   1. For each Condition, select the following:

      • Variable: Determines the Operators and Values available. The following Variables are available:

        • Berth

        • Cargo Grade

        • Cargo Group

        • Port

      • Operator

      • Value

   2. To add, insert, or delete Conditions or Groups, do one of the following:

      • Click ... to the right of Conditions/Groups and then click Add Condition, Insert Condition, Add Group, Insert Group, or Delete Condition.

      • Click Add Condition or Add Group under the list of Conditions.

   3. A new Condition or Group is added to the previous one; to change from and to or, click and to the left of the condition and then click or. To change back, click or and then click and.

   4. Conditions will be read in sequence. To change the sequence of Conditions or Groups, click ... to the right of Conditions/Groups and then click Move Condition Up, Move Condition Down, Move Group Up, or Move Group Down.

   5. To stop processing when a rule is true, select Stop processing if true. Otherwise, the entire table will be read to find all true rules. The results from rules evaluating to true will be stored on the contract as saved values.

3. Enter the Results, which can be for any Port Activity defined in Berth Scheduling setup, Load Rate, or Discharge Rate. Each line in the Results grid consists of an Activity, a Default Value, and a Unit.
