### Disabling and deleting Vessel Types

In order to delete a Vessel Type, it must first be disabled. Click the ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/9WnM8rZV2FJkRruPtTKc/blobs/iPLQO7BjxIseMFEoMDzD/more_vert-24px.svg)icon in the top right, and click "Disable". Once the Vessel Type has been disabled, the "Delete" button from the same menu will no longer be greyed out.
