Select & Close button. If you cannot find the correct vessel visit, then the principal agent will need to enter the visit details before you can proceed.
Once you have selected the vessel and visit, you can start entering the container details by clicking on the 
button. This will display a screen which looks like a Multimodal Dangerous Goods Form (or MO41). Note that at the top of the screen the status for the Container is automatically set to Final.

Depending on your selection, additional information may need to be entered such as the Technical Name or Flashpoint. These fields are marked with a red asterisk (*).
You can use the 
icon to calculate the cubic measurement of the goods item. The Packaging Types list can be searched using the icon. Additional packages can be added using the Add Packaging link at the bottom left of the screen. When you have finished entering the details click the
Save & Close button to Save and Close that goods item. Keep adding goods items until all of the DG in the container has been entered.

At this point you can optionally send the Multimodal Dangerous Goods Form to another party.

Open button or by double clicking its row. If the manifest does not appear, check to make sure you do not already have a manifest open. A simple way of finding a manifest is to sort by one of the displayed columns by clicking on the column header or use the 
Search button.
