Configuration Flags

In the Configuration Flag List, you must enable the following configuration flags:

Name/Flag

Description

Enable Cargo Booking
CFGEnableCargoBooking

Enables Cargo Bookings, which appear in the Berth Schedule broken down into Unallocated and Allocated Bookings.

Enable VC In Booking
CFGEnableVCInBooking

Enables VC In Bookings, which appear in the Berth Schedule broken down into Unallocated and Allocated Bookings.

Enable Berth Mgmt Activities
CFGEnableBerthMgmtActivities

When enabled, additional port activity-linked columns are available in the Berth Management form, for use with the Berth Schedule. Users can enter estimated times for Inspection, Purging, hose Connection, Pumping, hose Disconnection, and Extra Hours. When actual Port Activities are entered for these items, the estimated times will be overwritten with the actual times.

The Berth ETA automatically updates to reflect any changes to the Port ETA.

Optional configuration flags are described in the Related Configuration Flags expanding section at the bottom of this page.

Security

To access Berth Scheduling, you must have the following Module Rights selected at the group or user level:

Chartering > Cargo:
- Multiple Cargo Booking
- Multiple VC In Booking
Operations > Quick Links > Berth Schedule
Data Center > Ports and Areas:
- Berth Management Activity List
- Berth Management Activity

If a user has access rights to the Berth Schedule but does not have the Object Rights to a specific company, vessel, or vessel type that is associated with a parcel, the user cannot modify the parcel and sensitive information is concealed.

Berths

In the Ports workspace:

Berths must be defined for each Port.
If there are restrictions on the cargoes that can be loaded/discharged at a given berth, Berth Cargo Compatibility should be populated (with configuration flag CFGEnableBerthCargoCompatibility).
If there are restrictions on the vessels that can load/discharge at a given berth, Berth Vessel Compatibility should be populated (with configuration flag CFGEnableVesselCompatibility).

Port Activities

In the Data Center, the following Port Activities must be configured and mapped to the Activity Types (Act Type) required to actualize a port:

Activities	Act Type
Inspection Start	SI
Inspection End	CI
Purging Start	SP
Purging End	EP
Connection Start	HS
Connection End	HN
Disconnect Start	HD
Disconnect End	HF

Pumping is automatically estimated in Berth Management from CP terms. Actual time will continue to come from an OS/OE activity pair.

Berth Mgmt Activity Default Rules

Berth Mgmt Activity Default Rules must be configured to properly capture the estimated times at a berth, based on cargo/berths/port. Estimated times appear on the Berth Management form and can later be adjusted and actualized from the Berth Schedule.
