Efficient scheduling managementVOYCES retrieves relevant information to create long-term andshort-term schedules for your fleet which may be published toyour Trades & Agency network and your customers. The impact ofany change can be easily simulated before the optimum scheduleis released. Our VOYCES Standard information sheet gives fulldetails.
Schedule overviewYour operations team will be working to maintain a large numberof KPIs. The schedule overview gives an “at a glance” picture of allvessels and their past, actual and futureplanned port calls in a single matrix.Links with other VOYCES modules giveseasy access to schedules, simulations,bunker orders, capacity planning andother relevant functions. Our VOYCESAdditions information sheet givesdetails.
Exceptions and alertsThe exception handling module enablesyou to highlight a range of exceptionsfor each of your vessels using your owncolour code. This might include delays,missing reports and other changes tothe schedule. VOYCES will automatically
alert your operations team when deviations to the plan and otherexceptions are identified. Alerts can be individually configured andmight include:• bookings exceed vessel capacity• checklist tasks not fulfilled• special cargo booked (Reefer, Out of gauge, Hazardous)• vessel progress is faster or slower than planned (incl. tolerances)
User configured alerts and exceptions give complete visibilitywithin a “cockpit view” of VOYCES allowing the operator to takeaction depending on defined priorities.

Schedule planning, simulation, voyage progress control and port call/multiple berth management
VOYCES simplifies your vessel scheduling and port call management. It closely monitors the progress of each voyageand simulates a variety of scenarios to enhance reliability when a vessel deviates from its planned schedule. Itprovides automated alerts to highlight incidents and discrepancies during the voyage or port call. VOYCESProfessional builds on VOYCES Standard to deliver all the features in that application plus many more

GUI Layout manager and customised screensVOYCES screens are highly customisable and can be configuredto suit each individual user. Personal preferences can easily beset-up and saved. VOYCES enables you to monitor a range ofKPIs over multiple screens on a number of monitorssimultaneously. This gives instant and convenient access to arange of data from multiple areas of VOYCES.
Statement of Facts (SOF) and Port CostEstimationThe Statement of Facts is available from an online platform so thatall port call activities are immediately reported to the OperationsManager after vessel departure. The SOF will provide a break-down of the actual events and port call durations including anyincidents. Any unplanned events are instantly visible allowing theOperations Manager to react to possible delays before they have along-term impact on the schedule. Cargo volumes reported in theSOF are retrieved from the manifest details and input to the SOFbefore being confirmed by the agent.
After submission of the SOF, port call costs are automaticallyestimated from purchase tariffs, providing rates for pilot fees,harbour dues and other cost elements. Cargo costs are calculatedfrom retrieved volumes and manually entered volume figures, suchas an unpredictable number of shiftings. At any stage, a preliminaryvoyage calculation may be requested to show all revenues andcosts to that date. On completion of the voyage, a final calculationis easily processed to include all costs including bunkers andmanagement overhead.
