1. Open the voyage charter calculation to add cargo/es (or parcel/s) to. Its fields will display.
2.  Note: When opening a new voyage estimate tab, a blank cargo is automatically created in the Cargoes field and added to the estimate. 
3. Add a new cargo to the voyage calculation either by creating a new one or by duplicating an existing one (see Multiple Parcels). Each option requires the prior existence of minimum one vessel in Dataloy VMS.
4. The new cargo will appear as an empty row in the Cargo field and the Cargo panel of the Main calculation field will clear.
   
   Example:
   
   
   
   
5.   Enter applicable load and/or discharge ports either by quickkey or manual entry. 
   1. Quickkey - Follow To enter load and discharge ports, Steps 2a i-iii above and enter applicable cargo details. The new load/discharge ports will automatically be added to the port rotation.
      Note: An unlimited number of cargoes with individual port rotations may be entered, but the Port Rotation field only allows, if entered via quickkey, for two entries for the same port call and only if they have different reason for call, for example as load (L) and discharge (D). The port will, even if only one port call is made during the voyage, display as two rows with different reason for call - one for each type (loading (L)/discharging (D)). If two cargoes are for example discharging at the same port simultaneously, only one row with that reason for call will display. If the same port must be added again with the same reason for call representing a second visit to the port – this must be done manually in the Port Rotation field. However, upon entering the port call in the Cargo panel for its cargo, both the Cargo panel and Cargo Ports field allows unlimited entries (same port and reason for call) to the voyage calculation per cargo. The Cargo Port field will populate accordingly.
      
      Example:
      
      Cargo1: Kandla/Vadinar-Singapore,  Cargo 2: Vadinar/Hong Kong,  Cargo 3: Hong Kong/Vadinar
      
      
   2. Manual Entry - Follow To enter load and discharge ports, Steps 2b i-vi above. Added port call/s displays only in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field. Dataloy VMS does not automatically recognise what cargo/es the added port call is/are associated with. Manually added port calls in calculations with two or more cargoes must be manually linked to each respective cargo (go to Toolbar, Menus, Additional Features (VC)).

6. Repeat as applicable until all cargoes and their respective load and discharge ports have been entered. Once port rotation/s have been added to cargo/es, complete Cargo panel details/cargo.

7. Complete the details for each port call as applicable in the Port (or Port Rotation) field (see To enter load and discharge ports, Step 3).

1. Additional (or extra) ports are any type of port call aside from load and discharge ports, for example bunkering. Prerequisites are the prior entry of a vessel and existence of a ballast port. 
   Note: Extra ports are only linked to the voyage and an unlimited number of extra ports may be added to an estimate. A blank cargo is automatically created and added to the calculation in the Cargoes field when opening a new voyage estimate. Extra ports will not display in the Cargo Ports field as they are not dependent on any specific cargo.
2. Extra ports can be added to any voyage port rotation either through
   
   1. quickkey entry in the Ports field of the Main Calculation field (Cargo panel):
      
      
      
      
      1. Enter applicable port rotation string, i.e. load, discharge, extra ports, etc. in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field (see To enter load and discharge ports, Step 2a i-ii above), extra ports indicated by an asterix ("*") at the end of the port name.
         Note: The extra port/s can be entered on either side of the port call type divider ("/"), but the Port Rotation field only allows same port call to be entered ONCE on either side of the port call type divider ("/") when entered via the quickkey. If the same port is for example visited twice as an extra port on the same side of the port call type divider ("/"), the second visit must be entered manually to the Port Rotation field. Extra ports are only linked to the voyage but can be entered together with (in the same or in different) cargo specific rotations for simplicity.
         
         Example:
         
         Kandla/Vadinar-Singapore* (i.e. load/discharge-extra port)
         
         
         
      2. Click Enter.The corresponding port rotation will automatically display as rows in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field, the reason for call stated under Reason for Call. All extra ports entered using quickkey will by defualt display as E (Extra Port). 
         Note: All extra ports will display in the order they were entered and according to what side of the port call type divider they are placed, i.e. if entered amongst load ports they display amongst load ports and vice versa. Extra ports can be added or removed at any time during a calculation.
         
         Example:
         
         
          
      3. Change reason for call in extra ports:
         
         1. Double-click the row field under the Reason for Call column of the extra port that needs a change of reason for call in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field - it will highlight.
         2. Enter either
            
            1. applicable reason for call code under or  
            2. click the Triple Dot Selector that will appear next to the field. A pop-up with a list of reason for calls will open. Select reason for call and click OK.
               
               Example:
               
               Changing from E=Extra Port to B=Bunkering
               
               
               
         3. The new reason for call code will display and the estimate will automatically recalculate and update as a parameter changed.
            
            Example:

      In the Ports field, select the port call to add a port call before or after in the rotation - it will highlight. If initial port call is to be entered - go to next step. Either click Insert and from the menu, depending on where in the new port is to be added, select Before or After. Note: If no previous entry to the Ports field has been made - the Before option will be disabled. Activates after first port call entry. If so, select After. or go to the Port Call menu and from the drop-down select Insert either Before or After depending on where the extra port is to be added.   The Please Select Port to Insert pop-up will open.   Fill in the fields as follows: Enter either  the port call name under Port Name or click the Triple Dot Selector next to the field. A pop-up with a list of port calls will open. Select port call and click OK. Example:   Enter either the reason for call under Reason for Call or Note: Defaults to Loading.  click the Triple Dot Selector next to the field. A pop-up with a list of input values will open. Select reason for call and click OK. Click OK. The pop-up will close and the new extra port will display as a row in it's designated place (i.e. before/after the selected port call) in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field, including selected reason for call. The estimate will automatically recalculate and update as a parameters changed - but NOT the cargo port rotation displayed in the Main Calculation field (Cargo panel) as extra ports are only linked to the voyage.

                Example:

                               Manually added extra port: Karachi. Only displays in the Port (or Port Rotation) field.
                              
                          

                          vi. Repeat Step 1b i-v as applicable until all extra ports are entered with accurate reasons for call. For each entered port call the voyage route pattern will update (unless protected, see To rotate/protect port call order).

2. Routing points can be added as part of a voyage rotation and used to re-route a voyage by manual override.
1. Add routing points either by 
   
   1. automatic scheduling by Dataloy VMS:
      
      1. Enter applicable port rotation string, i.e. load, discharge, extra ports, etc. in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field.
      2. Dataloy VMS calculates and displays the shortest route for the entered rotation in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field, automatically inserting, where needed, available default routing points.
         Note: The routing point code of each added routing point will display in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field under the Routing Point column in the row of the port call it precedes. Can be manually overridden.
         
         Example:
         
         Port rotation: Oslo/Bristol-Algiers
         Displays in the Ports field (including routing points) as: Oslo/Dover Strait (DS)-Bristol-Gibraltar Strait (GI)-Algiers

      or by quickkey entry in the Ports field of the Main Calculation field (Cargo panel):
      Note: Routing points can be entered alongside cargo port calls, but are only linked to the voyage and not dependent on any specific cargo. They will therefore not display in the Cargo Ports field.
      
      1. Enter applicable routing point code as if it were a port call together with the port rotation string, i.e. load, discharge, extra ports, etc. in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field.
         Note: The routing point code is to be entered in the row of the port call it precedes. 
      2. Click Enter. The corresponding port rotation will automatically display as rows in the Ports (or Port Rotation) with entered routing points under the Routing Point column in the row of the port it precedes.
         Note: Can be manually overridden.

4. Click Yes. Selected row will delete.

6. The calculation will update and recalculate as parameters changed.
7. Repeat as applicable until re-routing is complete. 

Canals

Canals are routing points that will by default show as a separate port call in the port rotation in order to address the time and cost involved with canal passages directly to the canal. The canal time and cost has a direct impact on the result and length of a voyage. To each canal a default passage time is added automatically added to the calculation, for example the Suez Canal = one day time passage (time default can be manually overridden by Administrator/Superuser). The Canal passage cost must be manually entered under the Cost LC (Cost Local Currency) column and reason for call will display as C (=Canal Passage). Dataloy VMS only treats canals as routing points when routing between port calls, but displays canals as port call rows in the Ports (or Port Rotation) field. As canals are routing points, they are only linked to the voyage and are not dependent on any specific cargo, but can be entered together with (in the same or in different) cargo specific rotations for simplicity. They will therefore not display in the cargo Ports field or in the Ports field of the Cargo panel (Main Calculation field) if entered manually. (View list of most commonly used canals, go to Routing Points, Canals, Piracy Routing Lists).
