Action Types

Each term can have one of the following Act (Action) Types. Only the nine Action Types mentioned in the table below have an effect in the Laytime Calculator. A typical set of Action Types for loading or discharging cargo follows:

• PS (Port Action Starts)
• NR (NOR Tendered)
• OS (Operation Starts)
• OE (Operation Ends)

  • If there is not a matching OS to OE an error will occur - "ERROR - Port has more OE activities than OS activities“

• PE (Port Action Ends)
  • IS/IE pairs (Interruption Starts/Ends) and DS/DE pairs (Delay Starts/Ends) can be inserted between OS and OE pairs to log interrupts and delays.
