  1. Go to Modules > Voyage Estimate. The Voyage Estimate window will open.
  2. Open the voyage charter calculation with the freight rate to perform the sensitivity analysis on. Its fields will display.
  3. In the Cargoes field click the cargo on whose freight rate a sensitivity analysis is to be run - it will highlight.
  4. Go to the Functions menu and from the drop-down select Sensitivity. 




  5. The Sensitivity Analysis dialogue box will open. Each line represents the freight rate +/- the variance.




  6. Enter applicable variable under Variance.
  7. Click Recalculate. The new refreshed and recalculated results display.
  8. Modify the variable and recalculate as applicable.
  9. Click Print to print a copy of the run analysis if applicable
  10. Click Close. The dialogue box will close, but the run analysis will have no automatic impact on the voyage calculation.

  1. Go to Modules > Voyage Estimate. The Voyage Estimate window will open.
  2. Open the voyage charter calculation to run an intake calculation on. Its fields will display.
  3. Go to the Functions menu and from the drop-down select Intake Calculation.


     
  4. The Intake Calculation dialogue box will open. 

    Example:



  5. The Intake Calculation dialogue box is divided into two panels, upper and lower.
    1. IMPORTANT: Upon entry of new figures in editable fields - press Enter to apply and recalculate.

      1. In the upper panel, fill in the fields as follows (where applicable - read-only fields self-populate):
      2. The vessel deadweight (DWT), draft and immersion data fields for varying conditions (Summer, Winter, Tropical) will automatically populate with data retrieved from the Vessel Administration module
        Note: DWT: the amount of weight a vessel can carry under varying conditions. Vessel draft: the distance from waterline to keel. Immersion: indicates vessel drop in inches (or centimetres) per metric tonne (MT) loaded onto vessel. The fields are always disabled from editing and in read-only format. They can ONLY be edited from the Vessel Administration module.
      3. Enter deadweight measurement (as applicable) under DWT. 
        Note: Defaults to metric tonnes (MT). The draft and immersion measurements are disabled from editing and retrieved data retrieved from the Vessel Administration module. Draft measurement is in metres (M) or feet (Ft), immersion measurement in tonnes per inch (TPI) (or centimetres (TPC))
      4. Enter the fuel oil (FO) remaining on board at voyage start date (leaving ballast port) under RoB FO (Remain on Board Fuel Oil).
        Note: Will automatically populate with data entered in the voyage calculation under corresponding field. Can be manually overridden. If so, corresponding fields in the voyage calculation will change and calculation update and recalculate as parameters changed.
      5. Enter the diesel oil (DO) remaining on board at voyage start date (leaving ballast port) under RoB DO (Remain on Board Diesel Oil).
        Note: Will automatically populate with data entered in the voyage calculation under corresponding field. Can be manually overridden. If so, corresponding fields in the voyage calculation will change and calculation update and recalculate as parameters changed. 

      6. Enter the stowage factor under SF (Stowage Factor).
        Note: Will automatically populate with data entered in the voyage calculation under corresponding field. Can be manually overridden. If so, corresponding fields in the voyage calculation will change and calculation update and recalculate as parameters changed.  
      7. Quantity displays the entered quantity of the voyage calculation.
        Note: Always disabled from editing, can only be edited in the voyage calculation, but will automatically recalculate and update whenever parameters of the Intake Calculation dialogue box change (including corresponding field in the voyage calculation).
    2. In the lower panel the populated row fields for each port in entered voyage calculation port rotation can be manually overridden (except #, Reason for Call, Port Name, Bunker Reduction, Draft Reduction and Available for Cargo) - edit if applicable:
      1. List (#) field lists the number of port calls.
      2. Reason for Call lists the reason for port call in the port rotation.
        Note: Will be populated with elsewhere entered data. 
      3. Port Name lists the port call name.
        Note: Will be populated with elsewhere entered data. 
      4. Enter zone (summer, winter, tropical) under Zone.
        Note: Will be populated with elsewhere entered data. 
      5. Enter port draft under Draft.
        Note: Individual port drafts are not predefined in Dataloy VMS. By default, Dataloy VMS equates vessel draft (distance from waterline to keel) with port draft (distance between waterline and sea/river/lake bed/floor). Must be manually changed - system will recalculate.
      6. Enter draft measurement (metre or feet) under Draft Measurement.
      7. Enter the water type code (in terms of salinity) under Water Salinity.
        Note: Fresh Water (FW), Salt Water (SW), Brackish Water (BW). Will be populated with elsewhere entered data. 
      8. Enter the water density under Water Density.
        Note: Automatically self-populates with water salinity predefined water density figure once water salinity type is entered.
      9. Enter applicable safety margin (in per cent) to be added to bunker usage amount between ports under Safety Margin.
      10. Bunker Reduction displays the reduced fuel level from ballast port to first port call and then from port to port.
        Note: Calculated on elsewhere entered parameters, for example distance between port calls, vessel speed and operation, etc.
      11. Draft Reduction displays the calculated amount that must be removed (if any) to keep vessel from running aground.
        Note: Draft Reduction is calculated based on port draft, vessel draft and vessel immersion. 
      12. Enter the constant extra weight added to vessel (such as supplies, crew, etc.) under Constant Reduction.
        Note: Will be populated with elsewhere entered data.
      13. Enter the amount of fresh water on board vessel under Fresh Water Reduction.
        Note: Will be populated with elsewhere entered data.
      14. Available for Cargo displays the maximum load capacity for cargo of a vessel in terms of VOLUME (i.e. maximum hold capacity deducted by the data of Steps 5b iv-xiii).
  6. Click Print to print a copy of the run calculation (if applicable).
  7. Click Apply to apply intake calculation result to voyage calculation. Dataloy VMS will by default choose the lowest of available for load capacity (volume) figures under the Available for Cargo column and enter under Quantity in the voyage calculation (i.e. maximum quantity a vessel can load during a voyage). The dialogue box will close.
    Note: DO NOT use Apply function if the quantity figure under Quantity is LOWER than the lowest Available for Cargo figure, for example due to stowage factor restriction applying to loading capacity of the vessel. If so, the Available for Cargo column figures do not apply and the Apply function will ONLY select from this column.
  8. Click Close. The dialogue box will close, but the run analysis will have no impact on the voyage calculation (except for any changes made in the upper panel).
  9. Click Apply to apply intake calculation result to voyage calculation. Dataloy VMS will by default choose the lowest of available for load capacity (volume) figures under the Available for Cargo column and enter under Quantity in the voyage calculation (i.e. maximum quantity a vessel can load during a voyage). The dialogue box will close.
    Note: DO NOT use Apply function if the quantity figure under Quantity is LOWER than the lowest Available for Cargo figure, for example due to stowage factor restriction applying to loading capacity of the vessel. If so, the Available for Cargo column figures do not apply and the Apply function will ONLY select from this column.  
  10. Click Close. The dialogue box will close, but the run analysis will have no impact on the voyage calculation (except for any changes made in the upper panel).
