We will now go through a step by step process on the functionality of Unfixed legs within the voyage screen.
The unfixed legs feature is used when the last voyage is not fixed, when picking up bunkers, or when you want to use the vessel to carry out another operation in the meantime. This feature is under the three-bar menu on the voyage screen.
This functionality does not affect the TC of the current voyage, and you can use it in order to send the vessel to a destination until she receives orders.
The unfixed leg screen will appear where we can enter the leg information while the vessel waits for orders.
Once we populate the necessary fields and then close the unfixed leg screen. The voyage page will display a new field called Unfixed Legs
When a new estimate is created for the same vessel with an unfixed leg the start port will display the unfixed leg from the previous voyage. In this example, it is Piraeus-Augusta.
Once the estimate is fixed and a new voyage is created, then the unfixed leg will disappear from the previous voyage.
The unfixed leg will now appear as a start port.
