With a Voyage Estimate, you can create and try out potential voyage scenarios to find your most profitable option. You can include information about voyage income and expenses, bunkers, and cargo.

Voyage Estimate Views

Voyage Estimates have two views:

• Use Column view when you want a quick snapshot, and if you have a simple voyage with one load port, one discharge port, and one cargo. You can also use this view to compare Estimates. To change from Details view, click .
• Use Details view when you want to enter additional information and see the details, and if you have a more complicated voyage with multiple load ports, discharge ports, and/or cargoes. To change from Column view, click .

Creating a Voyage Estimate

To create a Voyage Estimate, do one of the following:

• On the IMOS7 menu, hover over New and then click Estimate.
• In the Chartering module center , click Voyage Estimate.
• On the Voyage Estimate List, click .
• On a Voyage Estimate Column view menu, click New Estimate, New TCO Estimate, or New Consecutive Estimate.
• To copy the details of a voyage to an Estimate for creating a similar voyage or to evaluate operational what-if scenarios, on the Voyage Manager Operations tab, click  and then click Copy to Estimate.

A new Voyage Estimate appears with your next consecutive Estimate ID, which you can change. If a .TDEFAULT Voyage Estimate has been created, its values populate the Estimate.

Editing a Voyage Estimate

You can edit Voyage Estimates that you created; to be able to edit an Estimate that someone else created, the Edit Other Users' Estimates Module Right must be selected for you in Security.

Voyage Estimate List

All Voyage Estimates appear on the Voyage Estimate List. In the Chartering module center , next to Voyage Estimate, click List.

• The Voyage Estimate List is a standard IMOS list, so you can sort it, filter it, do a Quick Search, and create custom Views for it. You can use logical operations to filter particular columns in the list.
• You can open or copy one or more Estimates simultaneously from the Voyage Estimate List: Select the check boxes of the Estimates you want, then click the Open or Copy link. If one Estimate is selected, it opens in Details view; if multiple Estimates are selected, they open side-by-side in Column view.
