Creating Voyage Instructions

Using the Voyage Instructions Report Type, you can create a Voyage Instructions template in the Form Designer, link the template to a voyage in IMOS, and send the Voyage Instructions form to your vessels, agents, or any counterparty you choose. When designing a Voyage Instructions form template, you can reference IMOS database fields so that voyage data is automatically populated when the form is generated.

Note: Veslink Voyage Instructions forms require IMOS v7.9.1410.1, cannot be added to a Form Group, cannot be sent from Veslink, and do not appear on the Dashboard Voyage Activity list.
