In the Durations section you [create new durations](/release-8.25/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/chartering/time-charter-contracts/maintain-time-charter-contracts/duration-and-rates/create-and-edit-duration-and-rates.md#create-a-duration) by clicking the ![](/files/6ZB8VA4TG2TBgiUunHbz)-icon in the top right of the section. By double-clicking on any of the fields per row, you can edit directly to the existing durations.

This functionality was introduced in v8.25. Click [here](/release-8.25/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/chartering/time-charter-contracts/maintain-time-charter-contracts/duration-and-rates/create-and-edit-duration-and-rates.md#edit-a-duration) to read more about editing durations and their rates, and about the different sections (Risk, Index-Based Rate, etc.).&#x20;

Also under the Durations section, you can also **delete** the durations, and/or their rates, by selecting the right-most Delete-icon per given row.

While under Duration and Rates section, you can only view the data, which is displayed based on the selected row in the above Durations section.&#x20;

From version v8.25, both of these lists are turned into a grid, which means you can now use [all of these functionalities](/release-8.25/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/data-grids.md).&#x20;
