Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : No link could be created for 'IMOS'.

When you have a vessel with a Time Charter In contract entered in IMOS that is ballasting without employment, the Operators will be repositioning, bunkering, etc., and you must record this information. To do so, you can create a voyage for the vessel without a Cargo or a Fixture (TC Out or Voyage Out).

Do one of the following:
- On the Vessel Schedule, click .
- On the Voyage Manager, click .
  
  On the Create New Voyage form, do not select Create from Voyage Fixture, as there is no fixture yet.
  The voyage is created, and Operations can manage the ballasting portion by adding ports, etc.
After business (either TC Out or Voyage Out) is found for the vessel, create the Voyage Fixture or Time Charter Out contract, but instead of scheduling a new voyage, link the contract to this ballast voyage.
- For a Voyage Fixture:
  1. Find the Fixture No. on the top left of the Voyage Fixture contract (for example, 20100005).
  2. On the ballast voyage, click the blank Fixture ID field in the top left and select the Fixture ID from the list of unscheduled fixtures for this vessel.
    You might need to change the Opr Type of the voyage to TCOV.
    IMOS appends the itinerary and terms from the fixture to the existing itinerary of the ballast voyage.
- For a Time Charter Out:
  1. Find the TC Code on the top left of the TC Out contract (for example, VES1-O00003).
  2. On the ballast voyage, click the blank TCO field in the top left and select the TCO Code from the list of unscheduled TCO contracts for this vessel.
    You might need to change the Opr Type of the voyage to TCTO.
    IMOS appends the itinerary and terms from the fixture to the existing itinerary of the ballast voyage. The Y and Z ports (delivery and redelivery information) are added to the voyage, if they do not already exist, and are updated if they already exist, according to the Time Charter Out.
