A VC In COA is an agreement with a vessel owner to use the owner's vessel. It represents a Cargo COA contract from a charterer's perspective. A Cargo COA is a long-term sale contract on a Voyage Charter basis; a VC In COA is a long-term purchase contract.
The VC In COA looks the same as a Cargo COA, except that it has an Owner field instead of a Charterer field. All liftings are displayed as VC Ins, even when the VC In is linked to a Cargo. When a VC In is linked to a Cargo, the Type, Status, and Option Status of the lifting are still from the VC In, although Ports and Laycan are from the Cargo. Depending on your configuration, you might see different fields.
Creating a VC In COA
To create a VC In COA, do one of the following:
- In the Chartering module center , click VC In COA.
- On the VC In COA list, click .
- On the IMOS7 menu, hover over New and then click VC In COA.
Complete all the sections, as on a Cargo COA.
To create VC Ins, click and then complete the Create VC In Setup form, as on the Create Cargo Setup form.
When an Alert is entered for an Owner, Vessel, or Port, the field is highlighted in light red.
VC In COA List
All VC In COAs appear on the VC In COA List. In the Chartering module center , next to VC In COA, click List.
The VC In COA List is a standard IMOS list, so you can sort it, filter it, do a Quick Search, and create custom Views for it.

Incremental invoice type is unavailable for such mirrored TC invoices.
