Purpose

It is possible to keep an activity register for your vessels by using the Vessel Location functionality.

These vessel locations can be used for splitting up the person's wages per location during vessel location, or for any reporting purposes.

Splitting of the wages is e.g. used for Norwegian A-melding reporting where the government in certain scenarios must know the continental shelf for the earning that is being reported.

It can also be used for any other companies with payroll, that want to have the payroll cost split by the location of the vessel so that this later can be reported on.

Defining your Vessel Location codes

Please go to Setup > General Codes Table > Vessel > Vessel Location and create the codes for vessel locations.

For companies with Norwegian payroll, it is important that the code of the location is the ISO 2-digit country code that corresponds to the continental shelf.

This first is a sample where a company wants to track if the vessel is Sailing, Dry-dock, Laid-up or similar.

Sample for a company that doesn’t need the specific country code

This second sample is for a company that just need to track which continental shelf the vessel is operating on.

If you want to track both the continental shelf and the country, then you can create your codes as e.g.,

NOSAIL - Sailing in Norway
NODRY - Drydock in Norway
SESAIL - Sailing in Sweden
…

Adding a Vessel Locations to a Vessel

Go to Setup > Tables > Cost dimension intervals > Vessel location.

Use the button "Add Vessel Location" to create Locations per Vessel (select the Vessel in the drop-down list, select the location – from the list of codes as mentioned in step 1, and define Start/End dates

If used in Payroll Calculations, the dates of the Vessel Locations for the same Vessel should not overlap
