        Note: Populates with elsewhere retrieved data. Both fields are originally entered in either the Voyage Estimate or BOInProg modules Booking and Operations modules and are automatically reflected in the Laytime Calculations module. Entered Quantity will in the Cargo Ports field by default display in the first load and discharge ports, but can be split when working with multiple ports. Terms data can be manually overridden, but quantity can only be adjusted in the BOInProg module Booking and Operations module (Cargo tab, Bill of Lading quantity). For a single cargo voyage, it is usually enough to only enter terms on the Cargo Ports field, but in case of total laytime (loading and discharging, especially in tanker scenarios) the total terms must be entered in applicable row field in either the Cargo field or the Charter Party field (Charter Parties tab). The terms in the Cargo Ports field will update accordingly.

        Example:



      3. Enter the demurrage rate under Rate Demurrage.
        Note: Rates are by default retrieved from the Voyage Estimate or BOInProg modules or Booking and Operations modules and are by default entered in the Cargo- and Cargo Ports fields. For non-reversible calculations, (where rates vary per port), the rates must also be entered as applicable in the Cargo Port field - except when the Cargo Match function is used. Should then be left blank.

      3. Allowed displays the laytime allowed.
      4. Deduct displays how much time was added/deducted.
      5. Time on Demurrage displays the amount of time/per port incurred (if any) on demurrage or despatch (displays as a negative number).
        Note: For each port for a particular cargo time on demurrage or despatch is calculated. The figures are automatically accumulated to, and display in, the Cargo field (Time Demurrage or Time Despatch columns as applicable). Time on Demurrage/Despatch calculation: Laytime Allowed minus Laytime Used plus/minus the total of all deductions and additions (plus if deductions minus additions equals remaining deductions, minus if there are remaining additions).

        5. Enter the event start date and time under Date/Time.
          Note          : Enter date and time as ddmmyytttt, for example: September 17 2014, 08:00, type: "1709140800". This will display as "17.09.14 08:00".                      
        6. Repeat Steps 5ai 1-5 as applicable until all events related to the specific port and cargo has been entered.  
      2. To remove an event:
        1. Click the row to be removed - it will highlight. 
        2. Click Remove. A pop-up will open asking to confirm deletion. 
        3. Click Yes. The pop-up will close and the selected row delete.

    2. In the Cargo field: 
      1. Rate Demurrage and Rate Despatch are by default populated with data retrieved from the Voyage Estimate or BOInProg modules or Booking and Operations modules.
        Note: No rate is entered or despatch calculated for ports with "Free Despatch", i. e. ports that does not allow despatch (then check Free Despatch checkbox for applicable port/s).
      2. Leave Demurrage and Despatch fields blank as reversible terms will be used.
      3. Check Reversible to activate the reversible terms option.
        Note        : Reversible terms = the adding together of the time allowed for loading and discharging cargo at included ports and that the calculated demurrage and despatch in the included ports (option applied to) be totalled. By default all in a cargo's port rotation, but can be manually altered.The option requires a minimum of two ports on the cargo's port rotation (load and discharge port). No demurrage becomes payable until the total of all laytime allowed of included ports expires, i.e. like specifying a total time to cover both operations (loading and discharging) at these ports. The reversible terms option is only usable if allowed by the terms of the cargo’s charter party.

        Example:

         
         
    3. In the Cargo Port field (below Cargo field):
      1.  Click applicable port to enter laytime data to - it will highlight.
         Note: Initial port will by default always be selected. 
      2. Review the the Quantity and Terms fields for accuracy.
         Note: Populates with elsewhere retrieved data. Both fields are originally entered in either the Voyage Estimate or BOInProg modules and are automatically reflected in the Laytime Calculations module. Entered Quantity will in the Cargo Ports field by default display in the first load and discharge ports, but can be split when working with multiple ports. Terms data can be manually overridden, but quantity can only be adjusted in the BOInProg module (Cargo tab, Bill of Lading quantity). For a single cargo voyage, it is usually enough to only enter terms on the Cargo Ports field, but in case of total laytime (loading and discharging, especially in tanker scenarios) the total terms must be entered in applicable row field in either the Cargo field or the Charter Party field (Charter Parties tab). The terms in the Cargo Ports field will update accordingly.

        Example:



      3. Enter time and date laytime commenced in the row field of the selected port under the Laytime Commenced column.
        Note        : Enter date and time as ddmmyytttt, for example: September 17 2014, 08:00, type: "1709140800". This will display as "17.09.14 08:00".

        Example:



      4. Rate Demurrage self-populates with the demurrage rate entered in the Voyage Estimate or BOInProg modules or Booking and Operations modules. IGNORE - will go blank once laytime is calculated as reversible terms are used.
      5. Rate Despatch self-populates with the despatch rate entered in the Voyage Estimate or BOInProg modules or Booking and Operations modules. IGNORE - will go blank once laytime is calculated as reversible terms are used.
        Note: No rate is entered for ports with "Free Despatch", i. e. ports that does not allow despatch (then check Free Despatch checkbox for applicable port/s).
      6. Review the Reversible Match column - edit as/if applicable: 
        1. Click cargo port row field to be edited under the Reversible Match column.
        2. Enter reversible match calculation number.
          Note: The Reversible Match column indicates which ports are to be calculated together and activates when Reversible is checked in the cargo row  field of the Cargo field.           All row fields under the column defaults to 1 for all cargo ports, i.e. to include the cargo's complete port rotation, but each can be manually overridden. The Reversible Match function applies when there are three or more ports in a cargo's port rotation. By default all are numbered 1, i.e. calculated together. However, if for example, a combination reads 1-2-2, the first port will be calculated separately and the other two together. How the ports of the rotation will be calculated therefore depends on the chosen Reversible Match combination. In non-reversible calculations, the number 1 will show but is deactivated from inclusion in any calculations.
        3. Repeat as applicable until complete correct reversible match calculation combination is applied to all applicable ports.

          Example:

          reversible match calculation combination: 1-1-1 (default)
           

    4. In the Deductions/Additions - Port Call XXX (Parcels -) field:
      1. Enter all deductions/additions as they occur.
        Note: XXX = displays selected port in the Port Call field and indicates the port for which deductions/additions are being made. The (Parcels -) indicates for which cargo deductions/additions are being made - when single cargo: will show as "-". Any deductions/addition applies to the selected cargo port ONLY. Also - in a single CP, single cargo situations, it is preferable to add all deductions/additions here, even those applicable to all cargoes of the port (when multiple CP's and cargoes entered in the Port Call Deduction field (Port Call tab), as they will apply to the single (ONLY) cargo anyway.

          6. Repeat Steps 5di1 a-e as applicable until all deductions occurring until laytime is completed has been added.
          7. Click Recalculate.
            Note: No calculations will be made until Recalculate is clicked - it is therefore possible to enter multiple additions without running a calculation, to wait until all additions are entered to click Recalculate and perform a single calculation for all or wait until all details for the entire laytime calculation is entered. 



          8. The entered laytime details will calculate, The number of days for each deduction is separately calculated and will display in each row under the Days column. The total of all deductions is accumulated and is deducted from the total laytime used (updates relevant row fields in both the Cargo and Cargo Port fields).

  6. Repeat Steps 2-5 at each port of the cargo's port rotation until all relevant laytime data have been entered for all of the cargo's ports.
  7. Review all entered details and click Recalculate.
    Note: No calculations will be made until Recalculate is clicked, yet it can be clicked at any given time while entering data, for example, after entering data for one port or cargo or after entering deductions/additions - or wait until all details for the entire laytime calculation is entered. The calculation will refresh and recalculate to that point the most updated figures. However, the recalculate function will automatically be performed upon closing the Laytime Calculations module.
