Page Comparison

Short Description

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

There are several functions of the vesssel reporting system:
     1.  Locating the Port Call to be Updated in Dataloy VMS
     2.  Field Validation
     3.  Data from Previous Report
     4.  Submitting Report
     5.  Receiving Mail in Dataloy VRS
     6.  Confimation and Error Mail
     7.  Failing Report

...

1.  Arrival, Noon and In Port Report
   1.  Vessel reporting will search through port calls and locate the first port call where the departure date is after the report date.
      Note: Redelivery ports and the straits Torres, Bosporus and Maggelan are excluded.
2. Departure Report
   1. 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.
   2. 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.
      Note: Redelivery ports and the straits Torres, Bosporus and Maggelan are excluded.
3. Multiple Port Calls for the Same Port, Registered in Dataloy
   1. Rule for vessel report updating when there are multiple port calls to the same port after each other
      1. Arrival, Noon and In Port Report will update the first port call.

      2. Departure Report will update the last port call.

         Info
         ETA and ETB are set as fixed in the Dataloy VMS when the entered date is in the past. ETD is set as fixed - only for the Departure Report.

Straits

Three straits may appear in the Dataloy VMS schedule: Torres, Bosporus and Maggelan. These will appear because expenses may arise. Dataloy Vessel Reporting do not consider these straits but moves to the next port call. Vessels should therefore report the port following the Torres, Bosporus and Maggelan straits.

      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.
