Make "cargo qty/unit" 3 dimensional to cater for MPP cargos (show PCS/MT/M3) and not just one.
Our chartering department has long requested cargo units to be represented in three dimensions (number of units (PCS), weight (MT), and volume (M3)). In Multipurpose Shipping trade the current one-dimensional format, where only a single unit type can be entered is impossible to work with.
Defining project cargo with just one unit is inadequate, as we handle diverse items such as windmill blades, containers or bagged cargo. In the current layout in IMOS, one chartering specialist might describe the cargo as "3 units", while another might define the same cargo as 2000 m³ or 500 mt, making it impossible to compare estimates or generate reliable statistics accurately. Likewise when making voyage instructions or agency appointments, today's data is not usable since any MPP vessel or agent would need to know all three values. Other VMS platforms can display all three dimensions, ensuring a more complete and precise description of the cargo. This would be a huge improvement for any MPP custo

This is a great idea! IMOS currently cannot be used as sole point of reference for project cargo's due to this.
