Can a Port Captain be Entered per Port?

Question

Is it possible to enter the port captain of each port call and include this information in reports?

Answer

Yes. In both the Port Rotation - Schedule tab and in the Port Rotation - Cost tab of the Booking and Opertions module, there is a column titeled Port Captain. If a port captain is entered in the column row of a specific port call, this information will be included in reports. Also, when an existing port call with a port captain is moved to a new voyage the VMS will use the same port captain for the moved port call.

  1. Go to Master Data > General Master Data Administration > Individuals and enter relevant data.

  5. Go to the Port Rotation - Schedule tab or the Port Rotation – Cost tab in at the lower half of the screen.
  6. The seleted vessel's schedule will display and the selected voyage highlight in green.
  7. Locate the Port Captain column.
  8. Click the field of applicable port under the Port Captain column.
  9. Either
    1. enter applicable port captain or
    2. click the Triple Dot Selector next to the field. A pop-up with a list of port captains opens. Select a port captain and click OK.
