In previous versions of the Voyage Management System, users could not delete voyages themselves if financial documents had been posted.
From version 3.25, users will be able to completely delete the voyage along with all its posted documents as long as they have been reversed. This action will still be available as the "Delete" option under the Voyage menu.
The users will be notified of which items are outstanding as not reversed, so that they can easily find and reverse these to successfully complete the Delete Voyage operation.
To ensure only authorised users can perform deletion of voyages with posted documents, a specific permission (DELETE VOYAGE EXECUTE) must be set in the User Administration module to enable this option.
For VRS clients having Voyage reference and reason for call it is important to use the same voyage reference number that is in Dataloy VMS.
The reference number is a unique combination of values which varies from customer to customer.
Three straits will appear in the Dataloy VMS schedule and vessels should therefore include them in the report: Torres, Bosporus and Maggelan. These will appear because expenses may arise.
The listed of fields will have an impact in the schedule and bunker figures in Dataloy VMS as well as some other fields of importance. Fields not mentioned will be inserted in the position report only.

Does not match the port in Dataloy: [port name] (id: [port id]).
- If reported port for next arrival port call does not match the located arrival port use exception: The port reported by vessel, [port name] (id: [port id]). Does not match the port in Dataloy: [port name] (id: [port id]).
IF Departure Report
Initial Port Call Locator
If vessel is reporting voyage reference number and reason for call:The first port call for reported vessel code, reference number, reason for call and port that is not budget and not estimate.
If not port call is found then use exception: No port call found for this combination of vessel, voyage number, reason for call and port where departure fixed is not set.
If vessel is not reporting voyage reference number and reason for call:The first port call for a vessel code that is not budget, not estimate, not redelivery, event is departure, event log date (departure date) > report date from vessel report.
If no port call is found then use exception: No departure port call found for the reported date and vessel.
A port call in Dataloy VMS can be registered multiple times after each other with different reason for calls. The Dataloy VRS rule for Departure Reports is to update arrival and berthing date for the first port call that is not a redelivery port call and the departure date for the last port call that is not a redelivery port call. The report should be inserted to the last port call. This action also controls if the departure date of the previous port call is fixed. If the departure date for a previous port call is not fixed, then VRS will assume that this is the port call to update (see Step 2).
- Locate Previous Non-Redelivery Port Call but has Port not Equal to Located Port Call in Step 1
- IF previous port calls departure date from Step 2 is fixed:
- Locate last port call where port is equal to the port located in Step 1.
- IF departure date for port from Step 2ai is not fixed: choose this port call as the port call to update.
- IF departure date for port from Step 2aiis fixed: throw exception Can not find a matching departure port.
- IF previous port calls departure date from Step 2 is not fixed:
- Choose previous port call as the main port call where the vessel report should be inserted.
- Get the next port call for the port call located in Steps 2a or 2b (is the next arrival port call).
- If no arrival port call is found: throw exception Can not find next arrival port call.
IF Noon, Arrival OR In Port Report
- Initial Port Call Locator
If vessel is reporting voyage reference number and reason for call:
The first port call for reported vessel code, reference number, reason for call and port that is not budget and not estimate.
If no port call is found then return exception: No port call found for this combination of vessel, voyage number, reason for call and port where departure fixed is not set.
If vessel is not reporting voyage reference number and reason for call:The first port call for a vessel code that is not budget, not estimate, not redelivery, event is departure, event log date (departure date) > report date from vessel report.
If no port call is found then return exception: No departure port call found for the reported date and vessel.
- Start with port call from Step 1, loop port calls backwards and locate the first port call where departure date is not fixed.
Registering Port Calls in Dataloy VMS
A port call in Dataloy VMS can be registered multiple times after each other with different reason for calls. The Dataloy VRS rule is to update arrival and berthing date for the first port call that is not a redelivery port call and the departure date for the last port call that is not a redelivery port call. The report should be inserted to the first port call for Arrival and Noon and to the port call from Step 1 for In Port Reports.- Get the last port call where the port is equal to the portCall.port from Step 1.
- Get the first port call where the port is equal to portCall.port from Step 1.
- IF Arrival OR Noon Report

Update Future Dates
By default future dates will be updated in VRS. It is possible to disable this if wanted. The following dates are considered future dates in VRS:
Noon Report: ETB, ETD
Arrival Report: ETB, ETD
In Port Report: ETB, ETD
The vessel reports can be found in Dataloy VMS.
Go to the Vessel Report Browser (where it can be edited)
or to in the Port Call Browser > Vessel Reports tab (where the data is Read-Only)
There are several functions of the vessel reporting system:
1. Locating the Port Call to be Updated in Dataloy VMS
2. Field Validation
3. Data from Previous Report
4. Submit Report
5. Receiving Mail in Dataloy VRS
6. Confirmation and Error Mail
7. Failing Report
- Locating the Port Call to be Updated in Dataloy VMS.
This is a simplified version of the complete logic, for more detailed information see: Vessel Report System (VRS) Logic
As the Dataloy VMS schedule is not accessible to offline vessels, the system relies on information in the reported data to locate the correct port call - i.e. the vessel and the report date. Different rules apply depending on report type:- Arrival, Noon and In Port Report
- Vessel reporting will search through port calls and locate the first port call where the departure date is after the report date.
- Departure Report
- Vessel reporting will search through port calls and locate the first port call where the departure date is after the report date. The system will choose this port call as the next arrival port.
- The vessel reporting will select the previous port call as the departure port. If Departure Fixed is set for this port, the system will move to the next port for both the departure and arrival ports. If Departure fixed is not set for the previous port, the vessel reporting will go backwards to the first port call where Departure Fixed is not set.
- Multiple Port Calls for the Same Port, Registered in Dataloy
- Rule for vessel report updating when there are multiple port calls to the same port after each other
- Arrival, Noon and In Port Report will update the first port call.
Departure Report will update the last port call.
- Rule for vessel report updating when there are multiple port calls to the same port after each other
- Arrival, Noon and In Port Report
- Field Validation
- Grey check mark appears: Indicates field is mandatory.
- Green check mark appears: Indicates field is validated.
The Submit button activates once all fields are validated (i.e. have green check marks).
Example of validated and not validated fields:
Data from Previous Report
Data from a previous report will appear in the Previous Report column. This previous value can be copied into the current report.
Note: Cookies must be enabled for this function.- Submit Report
The Submit button activates once all fields are validated (i.e. have green check marks). Click to submit report. A pre-filled in e-mail will open in the the default mail client. DO NOT CHANGE THE CONTENTS OF THIS E-MAIL. It should be sent as is.
Note: If the e-mail client automatically adds text to the mail body, for example a signature, DO NOT remove it. This type of addition is acceptable. Size of mail including mail headers is about 5kb.
Example: - Receiving Mail in Dataloy VRS
Mail is checked by the server every 30 minutes.
Note: During a test phase this interval is 15 minutes. During testing its also possible to trigger mail poller manually. - Confirmation and Error Mail
Once a report has been inserted in Dataloy VMS, an e-mail can be sent to the Voyage Operator. This e-mail contains an overview of the data submitted from the vessel in a readable format. Note: If a report fails to be inserted an e-mail will be sent to a fixed e-mail address. If the VMS located the port call before the report failed an error e-mail will also be sent to the Voyage Operator.To enable mail to be sent to the Voyage Operator, an e-mail address must first be added on user level.
Example:
Vessel: Vessel 1
Departure Port: BERGEN
Report Date Local Time: Wed Oct 24 00:00:00 CEST 2012
Departure Time: Fri Oct 26 22:00:00 CEST 2012
Next Port: OSLO
Estimated Time of Arrival: Fri Oct 26 03:00:00 CEST 2012
etc.. - Failing Report
Failing reports must be corrected and resent from the vessel (overview of ossible error messages: Vessel Report is Failing - Error Messages).
The Dataloy Vessel Report System is a web page intended for creating vessel reports from vessels without internet connection.
The only vessel computer requirements are e-mail access, an e-mail client and a web browser. The web page is distributed to vessels and stored locally on the respective vessels communication computers.
When a report is submitted a pre-filled in e-mail will open in the default e-mail client and when an e-mail is sent from a vessel it will be picked up by Dataloy VMS where the schedule,
bunker figures will automatically be updated and a report inserted.
The are four report types:
- Noon Report
- Arrival Report
- In Port Report
- Departure Report
