What Does the Bell Icon?
The Bell icon: A Shortcut called "Notifications" which allows you to easily turn on/off the notifications on your vessel or port. This will be presented both in the halfway menu and in the fully open menu.
Notifications on Vessels: These notifications let you know when the vessel arrives at a port.
Notifications on Ports: These notifications let you know when the port has new arrivals.
How to Turn on Notifications
This may be the easiest thing you can do in ShipAtlas!
Step 1
1) Open a vessel or port card in ShipAtlas.
2) You only need to open it halfway, then click on the blue button with a bell icon.
When the button turns dark blue, the notifications are on.

You can of course also do this from an opened vessel or port card as well.
You will find the button right above the blue button menu on the right-hand side.

If you have upgraded to the Standard Plan you can choose whether you want to get notified when a port had new arrivals, departures, and/or destination changes.
On vessels, you can also choose to limit the notifications to specific ports.
Step 2 is not needed! It is that easy 😉
Note that to turn off the notifications you can click on the blue button one more time and it will change to a light blue shade again.
