Rebilling Parcel Tanker Claims 🚢

I have an example here of an owner's claim.

It's a payable claim where we have one port call.

I go into the port call and I edit it.

I can see the cargoes on this voyage.

I have four different chemical types with four different counterparties here and all different quantities.

What I want to do is automatically calculate what these different counterparties owe based off of the quantity they have on the vessel compared to the total quantity of the vessel.

The first thing I'm going to do is set up the lay time calculation like I would for a normal owner's claim.

So I have my additions and my deductions.

Now, you'll notice I actually have two additions here.

And that is because for the rebill logic, what it assumes is the time from start until the first cargo operation is prorated based off of total volume on the vessel.

Then it looks at the tags, which I'll get into a second to decide the proportion from there.

And at the end of the last cargo op, it stops counting.

So in this case, I actually want the time between load complete and disconnect hoses build out to my counterparties at, the percentage of their volume on the vessel.

In order to do that, I just add an additional addition at the end here.

It doesn't impact my owner's calculation at all.

If I have to use any factors I can.

In this case, maybe I'll say weather is a 50% factor for everyone and the owner's claim.

And then the only other thing I need to do is I need to tag the different cargo op items to say which counterparty it's associated with.

So you can see here there's a tag for cargo butadiene.

This is the AET counterparty.

And what's critical is that I have both a commencement and a complete tag for each counterparty.

I'm not able to just add this tag on any event.

I need to tell it when to start and when to complete.

So you can use load, commence and complete.

Discharge, commence and complete.

Connecting hoses, commence and complete.

Or disconnecting hoses, commence and complete.

But it needs to have both of those or it's not going to be able to calculate the full time for this counterparty.

I don't need to add tags to any other events on the late time calculation to add tags.

You can click this edit button here and add any relevant tags.

You will see one automatically created for each of your cargoes.

You can also add them in the SOF itself if you want to tag before you get to this page.

Page.

Once I have this I am ready to go to the rebuild.

So I have my AET load commence.

I ABCA load commence and then my last load.

I actually have two counterparties working in parallel here and so we'll see what that does to the rebuild because I still want them to pay proportionally based off of their volume.

So ACBL is 200 AD and I is 400.

So I expect AD and I to be paying 2/3 of this time So I'm all set up here.

I'm going to go ahead and hit the rebill.

So if I go to this rebuild tab I click on rebill, I'm going to override it.

For this case I can see very quickly I've created four claims, one for each counterparty on the voyage.

And I can see the sum of what I'm billing out to them is equal to the same number on the owner's payable claim.

So no exposure in this case.

But if I need to go in and make any adjustments then this is its own claim.

So I can't.

Maybe it's a different contract clause applies or your supplier claims.

You can click in and make any adjustments from here, but let's take a look first at what it automatically applied.

So you can see the time from the start of lay time to the first cargo operation event here load commence.

In this case it is for this counterparty that is prorated based off of their volume on the vessel only 10%.

Then the time from their load commence to complete is 100%.

This factor here.

I can click on this line to highlight the box to see which one it's referring to and the weather delay.

This 50% is carried over and applied to this counterparty since it happens within their load window.

Lastly, I have this last addition that I added in order to prorate that final hour amongst all the different counterparties and they once again get this 10% factor.

Now let's say in my clauses with AET they don't actually get deductions for weather.

So I'm going to remove this one I'm going to save and close and that will change this value.

And if I go back to the rebuild source and look at my rebuild tab, this is the original owner's claim up here.

These are all of my different supplier claims here.

I can see I'm actually receiving slightly more then I'm paying in this case because I got a discount for all of the weather charges.

but I didn't get pass on that discount to AET in this case.

Last thing to look at is the example where multiple counterparties were operating at the same time.

This was one of those.

So you can see the same first and last addition here, but they have a different factor because they have a higher volume on this load and in their load window they are now 66.67% of the load because they operated with another counterparty.

And you'll also notice that all of the tags just say other to maintain anonymity between the other counterparties.

So when you send this out you're not giving away information of who else is on on the load.

Last thing, if I go back I can download the statement to include those tags and I will see the start and stop everywhere there.

So if I scroll in to my load I can see my other tags appear.

That is optional.

If you don't want to have those on there you just toggle that off and can download without the tag information and that is rebilling with prorations.
