IMOS On-Prem - Voyage Manager

The Voyage Manager is the central point for managing a voyage in IMOS. It is the endpoint from a Voyage Estimate or Voyage Fixture and the beginning point of voyage accounting, that is, invoice creation.

  • Charterers can use the Voyage Manager to view forecasted voyages and review or update contract terms and to compare the actual P&L of completed voyages to their Estimates.

  • Operators can use the Voyage Manager to find, record, and adjust all the data for a voyage in one place:

    • View the original contract terms

    • Manage the voyage itinerary

    • Record Cargo Bill of Lading data

    • Record delays

    • Create Laytime Calculations

    • Review/record bunker consumption

    • Create AP/AR invoices

    • Create/execute tasks

    • Create Voyage Instructions

    • Generate Performance Reports

  • Accounting users can use the Voyage Manager to view and manage invoices and the voyage P&L.

Creating a New Voyage

A voyage can either be created from scratch or contain the data entered by the Chartering user into a Voyage Estimate, Voyage Fixture, Cargo, VC In, Time Charter In, or Time Charter Out.

Nomination Date On Fixture And Voyage
CFGNominationDateOnFixtureAndVoyage

When enabled, a new Nomination Date value is added to the Voyage Fixture and the Voyage Manager objects. When the vessel is nominated to a cargo, the nomination date must be populated manually. This date can be separate from the Fixture Date, the Voyage Commencement Date, or CP Date on the cargo. When the nomination date is populated on the Fixture, it will carry down to the Voyage Manager on Scheduling. If the nomination is updated on the Voyage it will update the Fixture.

Makes the Bunker Purchase History Report available from the Cargo Unpriced Components form and the Bunkers menu on the Voyage Manager. The report is run per vessel and is only relevant for scheduled Cargoes.

Cache Voyage P&L
CFGCacheVoyPnl

Enables caching the voyage P&L in the database so that the Trading module can use the cached data to expedite the Trading P&L calculation. Flag CFGTraUseCachedVoyagePL (on the Trading tab) enables using the cached voyage P&L in the Trading module.

Also enables saving the current P&L snapshot when the voyage is saved; these are saved into the "voypnl" table with the "snapshotType = 'current'. The saved P&L numbers are used in the Voyages list for columns Est P&L, Actual P&L, and Est-Act P&L.

Default Company on TCI Select
CFGDefaultCompanyOnTciSelect

When selecting a TC In Fixture to be used for a Voyage/Voyage Estimate, if no Company has been selected, the Company on the selected TC In Fixture will be used.

  • If the Vessel is changed in a Voyage Estimate, the Company field will be the Company of TCI/Head Fixture or Vessel, based on the values of CFGDefaultCompanyOnTciSelect and CFGDefaultCompanyFromVessel.

  • If the Vessel is not changed, but the TCI/Head Fixture is changed, the Company field will change accordingly, also respecting the value of CFGDefaultCompanyOnTciSelect.

Default Lob on TCI Select
CFGDefaultLobOnTciSelect

When enabled, when a Time Charter In is selected, if an LOB has not yet been set in the Estimate/voyage, the system defaults to the LOB specified on the Time Charter In Contract.

CFGEnableVoyManagerCargoList

Adds Cargo and Cargo Handling tabs to the Voyage Manager. The Cargo tab is similar to the Cargo List, but only includes cargoes associated with the voyage. The Cargo Handling tab is similar to the Cargo Handling form; it includes a list of all cargoes associated with the voyage, with a line for each load and discharge. Lines highlighted in yellow indicate transshipment cargoes, while lines highlighted in blue indicate interservice cargoes.

If a Cargo or VC In has at least one unacknowledged revision, its row is highlighted in the Cargo List.

Enable Voyage Manager Operations Overview
CFGEnableVoyManagerOpsOverview

Adds an Ops Overview tab to the Voyage Manager. Usually used for tankers, this tab provides an alternate interface for managing voyages, providing expanded details about bunkers, cargo handling, and voyage tasks for each port call in the voyage itinerary. Port Status can be specified on this tab, to appear on the Voyage List. When there is an Alert on the charterer in the Address Book, the Charterer field in the Ops Overview is highlighted in red, and a tooltip over the Charterer field shows the Alert text. To add LOI/BL Status information, right-click a cargo handling line item and then click LOI/BL Status.
