Vessel Custom Fields

In Martide there is a feature called Vessel Custom Fields which gives you more flexibility over the information you enter into the system regarding your fleet.

What are Vessel Custom Fields?

Your vessels each probably have slightly different information to one another - such as different T&Cs. The Vessel Custom Fields feature allows you to customize the information within each vessel.

For example:

• You want to insert a specific sentence into the contracts used for seafarers hired to work on your tankers.
• You want to change the name of your company with some vessels falling under ‘ABC Crewing Services Ltd.' and others coming under ‘ABC Crewing Services Manila Inc.’.

This gives you more flexibility by letting you add a field and call it something relevant. This field is then added to all of your vessels and in those vessels, you can add specific information.

Where to find the Vessel Custom Fields feature

Log into your Martide account and click on Settings in the drop down box under your name and then on Vessel Custom Fields:

You will go to this page:

Here you can:

• See all of your Vessel Custom Fields.

How to use a Vessel Custom Field
