Voyage Overlap Cost Allocation

Voyage Cost Allocation is applicable when a Tow is participating in overlapping voyages.

To access the Tow from the voyage and allocate overlap costs, click  on the Voyage Manager toolbar.

• All voyages that overlap with the current one appear in the Voyage Overlap Cost Allocation grid.
• In this grid, you can specify the percentage allocation of costs (hire and bunkers) between two overlapping voyages. 
• The percentages entered here are reflected in the P&L calculation. The default cost percentage is 50%.
