Voyage has no unsailed ports

An unsailed port is a port which has not sailed or has been visited by ship.

If the error occurred for an Arrival Notice, then the ship has sailed from all ports and there are no ports left to arrive at.

Review the Arrival Notice and ensure it is for the correct voyage.

If the form is for the correct voyage, then arrival data already exists for this port. The port should be set back to unsailed, then the form can be approved.
