Passage Plans

Passage Plans builds a SOLAS V plan from the route, the vessel's draft, the crew, the tides at each port and the weather along the way. The plan is signed by the master and officers and goes on the Calendar.

  • Plan a passage for M/Y Ball from Antibes to Portofino on Friday at 08:00, Liam Ashby and Maya Thorne as watch leaders.

Anything it would change comes back as a card first. Nothing is saved until you press Approve.

Why it matters

The plan is built from data the vessel already holds, so each departure starts from facts instead of a blank form.
