8. ROB: Remaining Onboard Bunkers on Arrival/ Departure

9. Stem: This column is only used in the Voyage Module, not applicable in Estimation. Planning of bunker relies on Refill Bunker Prices instead. In case of depletion bunker, the refill price shall be the estimated bunker price for bunker stem.

1. Ballast and Laden speed and its corresponding consumption from Vessel Register. You may select the preferred speed at which you would like the vessel to sail by clicking the line item.

2. Port consumption from the Vessel Register

3. Speed Comparison: This shows you an analysis of how different speeds could affect TCE.

3.0 Prices

1. The bunker calculation method is the FIFO method. Under this form of calculation, VMS shows a good breakdown of how the starting bunker prices change to the ending bunker price. You may hover the cursor over to ‘Alt Price’, left click and amend the Alt Price to see what would the Starting/Ending price look like if the bunker is at a different price from the actual price.

2. Ship Bunker: VMS is integrated with Ship Bunker’s data to show you the estimated bunker prices across various regions/ports. The bunker price is updated on a daily basis and shows yesterday’s price.
