IMOS - Lightering

The Veson IMOS Platform is the market-leading cloud solution for commercial marine freight and fleet management.

This is an additional solution and requires a separate license.

The Lightering module enables you to manage lightering and reverse lightering contracts end-to-end, providing visibility into all of the service and support operations.

Lightering Workflow

With the Lightering module, you can follow the standard Veson IMOS Platform workflow with some modifications:

Setup

Set up lightering-specific records to be used in lightering contracts and reporting:

• In the Data Center, create Lightering Types.

• In Chartering, create Mooring Masters.

Chartering

In Chartering, manage lightering contracts:

• Create Master Lightering Contracts (Sale or Purchase) for Ships to Be Lightered (STBLs), composed of Lightering Jobs for Lightering Service Vessels.
  STBL stands for: Ship To Be Lightered.

• Create Lightering Support Contracts for STBLs, composed of Lightering Support Jobs for Lightering Support Vessels.
  Note: Lightering Support Job creation is not currently supported.

Operations

In Operations, manage lightering voyages:

• When you save a Lightering Job, a Voyage Fixture is automatically created. You can then create the voyage and manage it in the Voyage Manager.
  Note: Lightering Support Job voyage management is not currently supported.

• On Master Lightering Contracts, update the ETA of the STBL on Nomination days.

Financials

In Financials, close lightering voyages.
