Basic Concepts

The Voyage Module tracks all active and completed vessel voyages and consolidates related operational data. It provides an overview of each voyage’s route and status, including port transfers, daily reports, fuel usage, cargo, containers, and associated documentation.

Voyage Routing and Port Calls

In this module, a Voyage is defined as a sequence of port calls forming a complete route. For each voyage, the system records its current status, planned route, and key schedule parameters. Every port call is logged with its ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), ETD (Estimated Time of Departure), and other relevant details about arrival, stay, and departure. Since actual voyage execution can change due to weather, port congestion, or loading operations, port call and route data are automatically updated as new information comes in.

• Route overview: Displays all planned port calls and the path of the voyage.

• Port call details: For each stop, view scheduled arrival/departure times and any updates from the ship.

• Dynamic updates: As conditions change or new daily reports arrive, the voyage itinerary and timings are refreshed.

Daily Reports

Daily Reports record the vessel’s operational condition at specific points in time, typically once per day. A daily report includes the vessel’s current position, operational status, remaining fuel on board, fuel consumption since the previous report, and other performance metrics.

Based on daily report data, the system can:

• Plot the vessel’s path on a navigational map, showing the voyage route and current location.

• Summarize fuel status: how much fuel remains and total fuel burned so far.

Daily reports can enter the system through several channels:

Integration with Other Data

The Voyage Module is integrated with other system areas and provides centralized access to voyage-related information, including:

• Cargo and Containers: Shows what cargoes and containers are loaded on the voyage.

• Port Events: Includes details like docking, cargo operations, and port services during each port call.

• Financial Documents: Links to freight and bunkering invoices, as well as disbursement accounts.

• Bunkering Operations: Records fuel purchases (bunkering) and transfers that occur during the voyage.

This integration allows all voyage-related operational and financial data to be consolidated within a single module.

Fuel Tracking

Fuel management is a key feature of the Voyage Module. The system maintains detailed fuel records throughout each voyage:

• Fuel on board: Starting fuel levels when the voyage begins.

• Consumption: Amount of fuel used between daily reports.

• Bunkering events: Fuel added (refueling) or consumed on board.

• Current balance: Updated fuel remaining at any point in time.

Summary

The Voyage Module provides a comprehensive, real-time view of vessel operations throughout the entire voyage lifecycle. The module combines planned voyage information, including route structure, port calls, and schedules, with operational updates received through daily reports. This approach enables continuous tracking of vessel position, voyage status, route progress, fuel consumption. and operational events.

The module is also integrated with cargo, container, financial, and bunkering data, allowing all voyage-related information to be consolidated within a single operational environment.

Automatic updates and operational visualizations, including route mapping and fuel-related reports, support voyage performance monitoring and analysis of deviations from planned operations.
