   • Open Port/Area: The last port/area in the voyage.
   • Open From/To:  For vessels in a TCO Voyage, the TCO Redelivery date is considered the Open Date.

Projection Ports

When a Region Code is specified, up to an additional five Projection Port columns are added. These are ports that have the Projection Port check box selected and the same Region Code set on the Port form. If there are more than five projection ports, the first five (in alphabetical order) appear. For each Projection Port, the date of arrival from the Open Port appears.

Color Coding

Highlighting in the rows has the following meaning:

• Blue = There is a comment or a remark entered on that row.
• Yellow = The Arrival date is before the Target date entered.
• Green = Both conditions exist (Blue + Yellow = Green).

Highlighting of the text indicates Voyage Status:

• Black = Scheduled
• Blue = Commenced
• Red = Completed

Comments/Remarks

For each retrieved record, you can right-click to do the following:

• Change the Voyage Remarks for that specific voyage. This value is changed in the Voyage Manager as well.
• Add a Vessel Comment to appear only in the report.
• Add a CP Comment to appear only in the report.
