3. Select a vessel segment

Click on the vessel segment you want to view on your map.

For this example, we will click on "Dry Bulk".

4. View and manage sub-segments

To view every vessel in the "Dry Bulk" segment, you need to select all the sub-segments:

Click on the "All sub-segments" button at the top of the list. Once selected, the button next to it will turn blue.

How to remove vessel segments and sub-segments

1) Click on the vessel icon, when in map view, and click on the vessel segment you want to remove.

This also applies if you only want to remove a specific sub-segment belonging to that main segment.

2) To remove sub-segments, simply toggle the button by clicking on them again. They (the buttons) will turn grey when deselected.
