Some statuses are set automatically and some can be set manually. The ferry box shows the status of the ferry booking using the following colours:

• Green: Status Planned. The ferry box automatically turns green with the Planned status when the first shipment or resource is put on the ferry. If the status of the ferry booking is Booked, Changed or Cancelled, you can manually change it to Planned if desired.

  If all the shipments and resources are deleted from the ferry booking, the ferry box will be green until you click on in the Departures box, then the ferry box will turn grey. There are no ferry bookings.

• Blue: Status Booked. You have booked the transport on the ferry. This status can be set manually if you want the ferry to appear as booked here.
