ETB Column to be added in itinerary tab, between ETA and ETD, which can be updated with the Actual berthing date/time once we complete same in the Port Activity. ETB to be available only to ports of loading/discharging/bunkering, otherwise to be blank/shaded.

Have you tried the configuration flag CFGVoyageFormat set to 1? This will modify the grid in the Voyage Manager to show the ETB as "All Fast" along with other columns pertaining to estimated berth time.

Thanks! I just followed your instructions and seems to work. However, we have to enter the "hours" alongside instead of the dates. If we change the date of "All Fast" automatically changes also the arrival time, which is not very convenient, because we usually know the ETA, ETB and ETD of the vessels, we do not calculate it bss hours. Is there any way to overcome this?

It is an interesting point, I can see arguments for both keeping the ETA locked (your request) but also being able to enter the All Fast and have the system keep the Pilot to Berth hours constant (current implementation). Will discuss a bit with the product team to see if there is a way to accommodate both workflows without yet another configuration flag.

We have this config flag activated and we note that the ETB time under "Port/Date" remains always in blue and is not finalized with the "all fast" date/time inserted in Port activities. In our opinion they should be linked and once "all fast" is entered, the ETB should become finalized in black color. This would avoid double entries and/or different times.

I found that in our configuration the "all fast" activity type was "NM" - normal activity. When changing this to "AF" - All Fast, the ETB entries under "Port/Date" are fixated and in black color.
