Tank Plan

This feature is available to subscribers with the ‘Booking List’ option only.

Overview

To access it, you can either click on the icon of the module OR select it from the top bar Menu under Storage.

The Tank Plan module is used to create a tank plan layout for each vessel in your fleet. This layout will be used in the Booking List module to display the tanks where each cargo is stowed.

If you have already created the tank plan for your vessel on Q88.com then we will be able to link it to your Milbros account. Please contact support@milbros.com for more information.

To view an existing tank plan select the Vessel and press Show from the Tank Plan Diagram main page
