# Open Positions Board

### Board Layout

The board has two main areas- *unallocated voyages* (Voyage Commitments) on the left, and *allocated voyages* on the right.

Each element in the board represents either a voyage (unallocated), a voyage with cargo(s) (allocated), a vessel, a vessel open position card or a last port call card.

#### Vessel Open Position Card

We call the yellow card on the vessel columns the *vessel open position card*. It displays the start of the schedule of each ship that is displayed on the board. You can click on the card to open the vessel open position *drawer*. For any scenario that is *not* the MASTER, you can edit the port and date of the vessel open position. This changes where your ship starts in the scenario and reschedules the consecutive voyages.&#x20;

#### Voyage Card

**Unallocated Voyage Card**

In the **Voyage Commitments** column, the left-most column of the board, we have a list of Unallocated Voyages with a new design:

**Port Call Timeline**

The Allocated Voyages Card also contains a detailed timeline:&#x20;

On the left side of the Voyage Card, all the arrival times are listed. The date and time listed for the Ballast Port is the voyage start date. On the right side of the timeline, the port names are listed, including the Ballast Port. The total cargo gross weight on board after the port call is listed under the port name.&#x20;

> **Number of Displayed Ports**
>
> It is possible to change how many ports are listed at a time by using the settings. The minimum amount of ports that can be displayed is 3, the Ballast Port, the first load port and the last discharge port of a voyage. The number in the blue circle indicates how many ports are hidden.&#x20;

### Last Port Call Card

For each vessel we have a card with information about when it is next available. This can be found after the last voyage in a vessel's schedule.
