KEY FEATURES OF THE POSITION LIST MODULE

• Ships database - The main screen of the ships database has a simple and user-friendly structure, with a list of all ships in the left side and further specifications of the vessel in the right. In the bottom right corner the user has the possibility to add remarks of any kind to the full description of the vessel. This could be used for internal notes on the given ship. The database contains a huge amount of data, describing the vessel in detail.

• Position browser - Another part of the Position-list module is the position browser. It provides information of where ships are located and when they are open for business. This is structured in a simple overview grid with easy access to any given information. The view contains three tab sheets. These are Source, Zone, and DWT

  Those three tab-sheets are in fact a way to structure the view, and function almost the same way as a search function. By having these pre-structured views it is easier for the user to simply choose the most useful at a given time. Above the grid is a search bar containing a check box that provides all information to the given type. Next to the check box is a standard search field, allowing the user to locate the required ship even faster.

• Position search - Position search is a tool which allows searching for open ship positions in different areas/sub-areas worldwide. It enables the user to specify his/her search entering preferences, such as area, dwt, vessel type, vessel specifications, date, etc.

• Quick position - The quick position is a fast and direct way to update any given ship. Simply filling out data known about the ship and the ships database will try to provide the user with the ship that matches the criterial. This simple, but effective way to locate any given ship optimizes the Position List Module making it a time saving and thus beneficial tool for any user.

• Position Queue - The position queue is a part of the Position List Module that provides the users of the system with an overview of the emails that have been placed in the queue. At the same time the screen serves as a gateway, finding and adding information about the positions or specific ship data that can be included in a message.

• (Automatic) Position update - The position update launches the above mentioned automatic position update screen. The screen is designed to contain the document at the top and the matching ship along with its position below. A third area is also present. This third area contains the current position of the vessel in question. Upon updating, the system will extract the data from the email and update the ship position database. Position update makes it possible for each user to keep track with the large amount of incoming (position) mails. Actually the user only needs to act (simply pressing a key on the keyboard) when the system is not able to identify a vessels name or does not know the name of the harbour in question. The automatic update provides the user with a quick and easy way to keep their positioning system valid for use and up-to-date.

• Position Lists Administration - Position list administration allows the user to create his/her own position lists. Those different lists might be necessary when the user needs to send out different lists at different points in time, at a specific date, or to specific customers. In report template the user has the choice of how detailed the report should be in terms of a vessel's description. The user can add or deselect a vessel's description.The user can add or deselect a vessel, to add or remove a specific vessel from the report. All lists will be updated automatically.
