Short Description

Dataloy VMS enables users to enter unallocated voyages either via the the Voyage Estimate, Booking and Operations or the COA Planner modules. There are different options available when making a booking, either a new voyage can be created and the cargo to be booked added to it, or an existing voyage can be opened and a cargo can be added to an already existing one, (i.e. a cargo can be booked to be transported by a vessel during the same voyage as another booking).

Unallocated voyages are planned, and often contracted voyages, tht Unallocated voyages of high quality can be generated efficiently in order to plan future voyages and to have them allocated in a timely manner. The unallocated voyages are either based on Scheduled Budget Voyages or created in the Voyage Estimate and Booking and Operations modules.

An unallocated voyage can be defined as planned/contracted voyages to be performed that have yet to be assigned a s vessel. There are is no limit as to how many unallocated voyages can be antered entered and scheduled in the VMS. Any type aof of voyage can be an unallocated voyage, i.e. those with a fixed trade (i.e. has a laycan), contractual voaygesvoyages, ongoingn on-going voyages (no laycan) and "undefined" voyages, i.e. (voyages not yet decided whenor when or with what vessel they are to take place.those withought), etc.

Unallocated voyages of high quality can be generated efficiently in order to plan future voyages and to have them allocated in a timely manner. The unallocated voyages are either based on Scheduled Budget voyages or created one by one in the Voyage Estimate, Booking and Operations and in the COA Planner modules.

There are four methods to book a cargo:

The To-Make-A-Booking process page provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform a booking by creating an new voyage and adding a cargo and by booking a cargo to an already existing voyage both using the Voyage Estimate module and directly in the Booking and Operations module.

If you have a voyage that is already allocated to a ship but you have a problem with that voyage. So for example: the one that is loading in victoria and discharging in china. The question is then what should we do with this voyage if we try and solve the problem. So you can right click the voyage to un-allocate the voyage and bring it out of the plan so that it will sit in a waiting list of jobs but you can also select “show possible vessels” to ask to see what are the other ships which could potentially help me solve this problem.
