- When creating a new voyage for a vessel with a TCI/Head Fixture code specified, the Consecutive Voyage check box is selected by default, and the Voyage Number is assigned based on the last voyage linked to that TCI/Head Fixture.

Initial Bunkers
After you create a voyage that is not consecutive, the Initial Bunkers form appears. This is necessary for IMOS to track bunker inventories for the voyage. Enter the appropriate Quantity and Price information for each fuel type. This is useful in particular for bunker inventories calculated utilizing the FIFO bunker calculation method.
If you do not know these values at the time of scheduling, you can adjust Initial Bunkers later from the Voyage Bunkers form. After you close the form, the Voyage Manager appears.
