Tracking Cargoes Loaded by Charterers When on Time Charter (TC) Out?

Question

Is it possible to track cargoes loaded by charterers when a vessel is on time charter (TC) Out? What if there are multiple types/grades onboard?

Answer

Yes. It is possible to track cargoes loaded by charterers, even when there are multiple types/grades onboard even though the level of detail is limited.

To track cargoes:

  1. Go to Booking an Operations > Booking an Operations > select vessel and voyage – its details will display.
  2. Go to the Port Rotation – Cost tab in the lower part of the screen and check the Condition column.

The level of detail for time charter voyages is limited, but can be captured:

  1. Go to Booking an Operations > Booking an Operations > select vessel and voyage – its details will display.
  2. Right-click applicable port call and add to the Bill of Ladings.
    Note: Multiple lines can be added. It is possible to add sub-commodities to each line, but this requires that the sub-commodities first be added to Master Data > General Master Data  Administration > Sub Commodity. The grades would then have to be added  as sub-commodities.
