Estimate TCE Impact

The following Activity/Reason pairs affect the Estimate TCE.

Linking a Port Function with a Delay

Entering 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:

1. Define this Delay Type:

   • WA, Waiting, Time Does Not Count

2. Define these Delay Reasons:

   • WAITING FOR LAYCAN, WAITING, UNPLANNED OFFHIRE

   • WAITING FOR ORDERS, WAITING, UNPLANNED OFFHIRE

3. For Port Function W:

   • Set Delay Type to WAITING

   • Set Reason to WAITING FOR LAYCAN

4. To generate a Waiting Delay, insert a port with Port Function W.

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.

• Quantity defaults to consumption per fuel type at the related W port.

• Price defaults to the initial voyage price per fuel type.

Bunkers Tab

The Bunkers tab enables you to record bunkers consumed during delays.

To record bunkers:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Edit a row for an existing delay.
   • Add a row for a new delay Activity and Reason.
2. Enter the fuel Prc and Qty consumed during the delay.
3. Close the Estimate Delays form.
4. Save the Estimate.
