Voyage and Rate Connection

Voyages work in conjunction with your rates in Portmasters.

How voyages and rates relate

• Voyages provide the schedule framework for your shipping services.
• Rates define the pricing for cargo on those voyages.
• Each rate references departure/arrival dates that should align with your voyage schedules.
• Customers see both rate pricing and voyage timing information when booking.

Keeping voyage and rate data aligned ensures:

• Accurate transit times on customer quotes.
• Correct ETAs across booking and documentation.
• Consistent operational planning between schedule and pricing.

Best practice
Create voyages first, then create rates that correspond to your voyage schedule. This ensures consistency between your sailing schedules and pricing offers.
