Question
Can deadfreight be included in a laytime calculation, thus enabling extra time allowed? If so, how?
Answer
Yes. Deadfreight can be added to allow for extra time in a laytime calculation by overriding the "Laytime Quantity". To do this, utilise the Laytime Quanity Option.
To add deadfreight to a laytime calculation:
- In the Laytime Calculations module open applicable voyage - its detalis will display
- Enter the total quantity (Qty & Deadfreight Qty) in the extra quantity column called Laytime Qty located next to the Quantity column in the Cargo Ports field.
Note: The row fields under Laytime Qty remain blank until data is manually entered.
Example:
- Click Recalculate.
- The entered quantity under Laytime Qty entered will override the data stated under Quantity for the applicable port and continue to apply until manually removed.
