Abstract
A cargo management system receives parcel data associated with cargo on a vessel. The parcel data may include bill of lading date, successor and predecessor data, cargo type data, and the like. The cargo management system identifies parcels that may be related, performs a parcel validation on the identified parcels, and receives or determines a relationship between the parcels. Then, the cargo management system performs voyage validation on the related parcels to create a voyage. The cargo management system then calculates a loss associated with each parcel, between parcels, and the entire voyage.
Claims26
A computer-implemented method for grouping at least two parcels, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying at least two parcels that may be related to each other, wherein each of the at least two parcels comprises cargo and is associated with parcel data;
- validating, using one or more processors, that the at least two parcels are related using the parcel data for each of the at least two parcels, wherein two parcels are related when each parcel includes at least a portion of the same cargo at different times during a voyage of a particular cargo;
- obtaining relationship data regarding the at least two parcels upon validating that the at least two parcels are related;
- validating, using one or more processors, the relationship data for the at least two parcels, wherein validating the relationship comprises validating a chronological order of the at least two parcels;
- and
- grouping the at least two parcels as at least a portion of the voyage of the particular cargo upon validating the relationship data for the at least two parcels.
A system for automatically grouping parcels to form a voyage, the system comprising:
- a data storage device that stores parcel data associated with parcels;
- and
- a computing device in communication with the data storage device that operates to:
- identify parcels, each of which may constitute a portion of a voyage of a particular cargo, using the parcel data for each parcel;
- validate the identified parcels using the parcel data for each of the identified parcels to form a first-validated group of parcels;
- obtain relationship data indicating one or more relationships between the parcels of the first-validated group of parcels;
- validate the first-validated group of parcels using the relationship data to form a second-validated group of parcels, wherein the computing device indicates a chronological order of the second-validated group of parcels;
- and
- group the second-validated group of parcels to form a voyage.
A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having one or more computer-executable modules for grouping at least two parcels, the one or more computer-executable modules comprising:
- a first module configured to:
- identify at least two parcels that may be related to each other, wherein each of the at least two parcels comprises cargo and is associated with parcel data;
- validate that the at least two parcels are related using the parcel data for each of the at least two parcels;
- obtain relationship data regarding the at least two parcels upon validating that the at least two parcels are related;
- validate the relationship data for the at least two parcels, wherein validating the relationship comprises validating a chronological order of the at least two parcels;
- and
- group the at least two parcels as at least a portion of a voyage of a particular cargo upon validating the relationship data for the at least two parcels.
