Container Status Matrix

Container statuses track the operational state of containers, ensuring visibility and control from initial commissioning to final delivery or removal from the fleet.

The system includes a Container Status Matrix, which prevents invalid status changes and minimizes operational errors.

Methods for Changing Container Status

1. Manual Change or Import

Statuses can be updated via the button after selecting containers from the list. Alternatively, an Excel file with container numbers can be imported for automatic selection.

2. Port Call Operations

Statuses can be updated from the Port Calls tab in the Voyage card using the following buttons:

;
;
(Unstuffing on Board) — Changes the state from ‘Full’ to ‘Empty’ while keeping the Loaded status. The container remains on board.

3. Rolling to Next Voyage

From the Containers tab in the Voyage card, the function can be used to move a container to a new or existing voyage. If no containers remain on board, the voyage can be marked as Completed.
