This article explains how to perform the Vessel Transfer procedure in Rotation with one day shift overlap.

Introduction

Sometimes crew members are transferred from one vessel to another within the same day. This means that the crew will have overlaps in Activities, which in normal cases the system doesn’t allow.

However, especially for this case, we have the Vessel Transfer functionality.

Transfers, which are done on separate days, should be handled as different activities.
Vessel Transfer is enabled only for Planned (not confirmed) records.

Before you start

The following setup needs to be done beforehand:

  1. A user should have Write access to the field C132 Vessel Transfer in ACC > Fields > Crew Change > Off/On Signers View:

     

  2. Enable Allow 'Vessel Transfer' selection option in Global Options > Modules > Crew Change:

     

     

Vessel Transfer Workflow

  1. Open Rotation Planning.

  2. For From Vessel shift adjust the sign-off date to correspond to the vessel transfer date.

  3. For To Vessel adjust the shift sign-on date to correspond to the vessel transfer date.

  4. Assign the person to this To Vessel shift. You will receive the following message, just click Ok to continue.

Result: You will have two shifts & corresponding activities that have one crossing day, covering the vessel transfer.

Additional Information

At the Rotation Maintenance view, we advise you not to open the entire rotation plan but to use Plan By Filter.

It allows combining the information from several plans in one view, which makes it easier to make the Vessle Transfer.
