Maintain OPEX on a Vessel

Each vessel has its own OPEX list under the Operating Cost tab. Lines here represent the running costs specific to this vessel and are stamped onto the voyage when the vessel is assigned.

Opening the OPEX List

Navigate to the Vessel record and open the Operating Cost tab. The list of OPEX lines for this vessel is displayed.

Stamping onto a Voyage

When a vessel is assigned to a voyage, the system stamps the vessel's OPEX lines onto the voyage. If the vessel has no OPEX lines, the system falls back to the Vessel Type's default OPEX lines.

Important: Stamping is a one-time copy. Changes to the vessel's OPEX after the voyage has been created do not cascade to the voyage automatically. Voyage-level OPEX lines must be managed directly on the voyage.
