The most recent feature to be implemented is the fleet concept. Fleet management has been introduced to the predefined Default and Default with deleting roles. For other predefined or custom roles, the permission must be added accordingly. This change is done in User Roles in the My Company section.

Ensure you have the right permissions. Permissions can be changed in the My Company section
Go to the My Ships section and click on the “Add Fleet” button in the top right corner
Choose the business unit wherein the fleet will be located

Ships are added to the fleet one at a time via the ship view screen as follows:

Go to the ship view screen be clicking on a ship in the My ships section

Edit the ship by clicking the pen in the top left corner of the ship view screen

Select the fleet in the drop-down menu and click “Save”
