Adding Pre-Purchased Bunkers in IMOS After a Voyage Has Commenced

In certain situations, users may need to add pre-purchased bunkers in IMOS even after a voyage has already commenced. To ensure the data remains accurate and consistent across the system the below workflow can be used:

Recommended Workflow

1. Update the Initial Voyage Bunkers
   Begin by updating the initial voyage bunker entries with the details of the pre-purchased bunkers. This ensures that the system reflects the correct quantities from the start.

2. Review the Bunker Breakdown on the TC Contract

Once the pre-purchased bunker information is added, IMOS will automatically generate an additional line on the Time Charter (TC) contract’s bunker breakdown.

o    Select the newly added pre-purchased bunker line.

o    Save both the Bunker Breakdown and the TC contract to confirm the update.

3. Verify Bunker Details in the TC Contract and Voyage

After saving, the pre-purchased bunkers will appear appropriately in both the TC contract and the voyage record. This ensures that all related operational and financial data remains aligned with the updated bunker quantities.
