The AutoStow Option extends the conventional planning process and fully integrates with all XPS planning and control modules. The AutoStow Option requires licenses for the following XPS features:
Vessel Planning and Control Module
Quay Commander Option (on page 1)
Vessels configured with the Predefined Working Pattern (PWP) feature (on page 1)
To verify that your site meets these requirements, see your N4 administrator.
Before using the AutoStow Option, you must:
Create a vessel visit.
Import vessel stowage data (through the N4 client).
Sequence the vessel discharge.
Create or import the preplan for the vessel.
Create a crane plan using the Quay Commander Option.
For more information on completing any of these above tasks, see the relevant topics in this book, depending on your site's XPS configuration, the manual Navis N4: Vessel Administrator and User Guide, and the N4 online help.
