Player-owned port

The Player-owned port is a high-level members minigame that was released on 11 December 2012, as announced in the December 2012 Behind the Scenes news post. Borrowing elements from the Managing Miscellania minigame, this minigame involves players building their own port in order to manage a fleet of ships, staffed by recruited crew members. These ships explore the Eastern Lands (otherwise known as the "Wushanko Isles" by the port Navigator) on the player's behalf and return with exotic items and supplies that are otherwise unavailable. Players can start by heading to Port Sarim. South-west of the Rusty Anchor pub is a portal that players can use to enter their port.

Level requirements
Access to your player-owned port has no requirements, but playing the minigame requires level 90+ in at least one of the following skills: Fishing, Slayer, Runecrafting, Herblore, Prayer, or Thieving. More content is unlocked for each of the requirements met. Some content has no level requirement and thus is available to all members such as Meg, a Distraction and Diversion.

Tutorial
Starting the tutorial requires level 90+ in either Fishing, Slayer, Runecrafting, Herblore, Prayer, or Thieving. Upon entering the port for the first time, players will see a cut-scene followed by a brief interactive tutorial. It is recommended to play through the tutorial, because it teaches the mechanics of hiring crew, equipping your ships, sending them out on voyages, upgrading your port, and collecting rewards. At the end of the tutorial the player's character receives a Captain's log, which can be used to check progress and status of many aspects of the minigame when not actually in port, and then proceeds to the actual minigame play proper.

How it works
Player-owned ports is a management-based minigame in which the player manages a port by sending out crew members to complete missions in an effort to reach the Eastern Lands. Players must choose crew members and ship fittings for each voyage to tailor to the needs of the voyage. The green indicator bars on the voyage and shipyard interfaces need to be as high as possible for the best outcome. The higher the numbers, the higher chance the mission will be successful. If a mission is not successful, the ship may be damaged, the crew may be drained of energy or even lost overboard at sea, and resources will not be gained. Voyages, crew for hire, and the Black Marketeer's resources all renew daily at first login after 00:00 UTC. Special voyages cannot be carried over to the next day, regular voyages can.

Each voyage will have a combination of one or more of the following requirements: Morale, Combat, and Seafaring. For the best chance of success, players should choose their crew members and ship components so that all of the requirement indicators are filled as fully as possible with the combined statistics of available crew members, ship modifiers, and effects applied, remembering that the overall success potential of the voyage is equal to the least filled indicator. Thus, it will more likely be a successful mission if all indicators are showing 75% of necessary requirements than if two are showing 100% and one was showing 56%. Only indicators which affect the outcome of the voyage are shown. Speed is a fourth stat which is different from the other three. The speed does not affect the success of a voyage, but affects the amount of time that it takes to complete a voyage.

Resources gained from voyages may be used to upgrade the fittings on your ships, upgrade the port buildings, or hire more crew. Ship upgrades and a varied crew roster allow for more varied and more difficult voyages to be successfully completed. Port upgrades allow you to have more ships operating at a time, boost resources gained from successful voyages, boost ship stats, or hire better captains, crew and special adventurers.

Buildings
Buildings and decorations can be built or upgraded to offer bonuses to different areas of the port's operations.


 * Bar: Upgrading the Bar increases the chances of attracting adventurers and attracting better captains.
 * Office: Upgrading the Office unlocks additional ship slots.
 * Workshop: Upgrading the Workshop unlocks the ability to make reward items. The first level also requires that Zone 3 (The Hook) on the archipelago map has been unlocked.
 * Lodgings: Upgrading the Lodgings increases the chances of attracting higher quality crew.
 * Shipwright: Upgrading the Shipwright boosts the base stats of your ships.
 * Warehouse: Upgrading the warehouse increases the rewards from voyages.
 * Totem Hotspots (4): Building a totem allows the player to choose a bonus, depending on which totem is built: extra chance of scroll missions; increased xp from missions; increased rewards from voyages; increased chances of a port random event; or increased trade-related goods received.
 * Icon Hotspots (3): Building an icon increases the chances that a specific adventurer will appear, depending on which icon is built. A player can build more than one of the same icon, although it is unknown if this will increase the chances any further.
 * Portal: Upgrading the portal is simply a cosmetic change.

Interfaces
The port interfaces can be seen at the top of the screen while at the port. Players can use the buttons to set up their voyages, upgrade buildings, check their resource stock, and see how far they've advanced with the map.

NPCs

 * John Strum, The Partner, is the former portmaster
 * Duncan, The Navigator, helps with the management of the port
 * Surula, The Barmaid, sells beer and "gossips" (gives a high level bonus voyage) every Thursday
 * Felix, The Black Marketeer, sells resources to the player for gold coins
 * Meg, The Adventurer, seeks the player's advice
 * Seasinger Umi, a siren training to become a seasinger

Random port events (Minigames)
When the player receives a random event, they will be alerted by a message in the chat box, immediately after a successful voyage. Depending on which event is received, the player will have to go and talk to either Surula The Barmaid or Felix the Black Marketeer to start the event. Disconnecting or logging out during a Random port event, will cause you to lose the event, you will not get to continue again after logging back in! Be sure to have a good connection before attempting your events!

Each of these minigames gives minor rewards in the manner of "effects" (see below) which can be added to ship characteristics before a voyage.

Note: If the player has a Solomon's Store pet at the time that they are awarded the opportunity to play, they will be presented with the standard dialogs, but after clicking "Yes" in the confirmation dialog asking if they want to play, nothing happens. Once the pet is "sent home" (via right-clicking on the pet), clicking the "Yes" button in the confirmation dialog will then take the player into the mini-game as normal. If the player has a regular pet following them, they will recieve a message in chat stating that they cannot have a follower or summoning familiar while playing the mini-game. It is unknown yet if this is a bug/glitch or is intended behaviour. This applies for Surula's minigame, "Last Orders", and for the Felix the Black Marketeer's minigame, "A Simple Favor", as well.

Felix The Black Marketeer: A Simple Favour
Felix's random event presents the message: "The Black Marketeer had a little trouble with some assassins. Speak to him to relive the event." In this minigame, the player helps the Black Marketeer work off his debt to the Death Lotus Assassins. The player takes control of Felix and must first search for one of 5 ninjas hiding in various barrels around the dock. Note that a ninja may appear in a barrel that a previous ninja appeared in. If the player doesn't find a Ninja within a set period of time, an arrow will appear pointing to one.

Once the player has found a ninja, the ninja will give a clue hinting at who the intended victim is (one of the Wandering Strangers). Only one assassin's victim can be searched for at a time. The player, still controlling Felix, must then identify the correct victim, or continue to search out their targets through a series of further clues given if the victim is misidentified. Clues can specify what the target is wearing ("The target is wearing a hat"), colour or style of clothing ("No, the top is the wrong color", "That's not my target, the top was a different style", or gender ("Well, that's not right. Completely the wrong gender for a start"). If desired, the player can ignore the clues and simply try all the wandering strangers, as there are no penalties for failing.

Surula's Bar: Last Orders
"Help Surula serve her rowdy bar patrons

Surula, the barmaid, has a number of Patrons desperately in need of a nice cold pint of beer. Unfortunately she only has two hands.

Take control of Surula and serve all the patrons in as short time as possible. Visit the bar where Surula normally stands, to stock up on delicious beer, then serve any patrons who are still waiting on their order.

There are 20 patrons in total to serve and they are all over inside the bar, both on the ground floor and upstairs, and immediately outside. Once you have served a patron, the option to serve them again will vanish.

You must serve all patrons to complete the event."

Surula's random event presents the message: "The Barmaid had a tricky time while the Ship was away. Speak to her to relive the events." For this minigame, the player takes control of Surula and has to serve beer to 20 clients in the bar area, upstairs, and nearby outside, all in fewer than 10 minutes. Surula can hold only 2 beer glasses at once and over the time she serves the clients, she will have to keep getting more from her bar in order to continue, as there are twenty clients to be served.

Random event rewards

 * Effects (one-time boosts for the ship/crew, which may be applied before the voyage by clicking the "Add Effects" button when choosing a ship from the Voyage List interface. Many of these effects stack, thus you may use 2 Seasinger's Cry for +20% Seafaring. T he items on the first row increase your chances of success based on your current percentage. For example, If your adversity for a seafaring mission is 70% and you use a Seasinger's Bottled Cry, your new chances are 77% instead of 80%. ):

Adventurer Rerolls are useable even if you already did your daily Special Voyages, giving you additional Special Voyages. Rerolls will always replace the item appearing at the time, and decrease the available remaining item (voyages, crew, etc.) by one, effectively losing one item per reroll.
 * Port resources
 * Crew rerolls (1 Captain or 5 Crew members)
 * Voyage rerolls (Adds 5 voyages/rerolls)
 * Adventurer rerolls

Note: The rewards on the second row appear to continue to affect the ship to which they were applied indefinitely.

The Name


The player may customise each ship's name by bringing up an interface by clicking on the pencil icon next to that ship's icon. Ths can be done whether the ship is in port or at sea. Each name has three parts that can be changed individually, either manually or randomly. The list of available names and the interface by which changes are made and applied are shown on their respective pages above.

Upgrades
Once unlocked, ships are already built for the player. Using resources, players can upgrade their ships using five customizable hotspots: Clicking on the hotspot gives players a list of possible upgrades. Each option shows its specific stats, its resource costs to buy, and either a grey or gold padlock if the upgrade has not been purchased, or a green check-mark if it has been purchased and is currently in use on that ship (purchased, currently unequipped upgrades will show neither padlock or checkmark). The stats displayed are coloured green if the upgrade would improve that stat from the current equipment, white if there would be no change in that stat, or red if it would cause a degradation in a particular stat.
 * Rams/Figureheads (bonus to Combat or Morale)
 * Deck Items 1 (bonus to Combat, Morale, or Seafaring)
 * Deck Items 2 (bonus to Combat, Morale, or Seafaring)
 * Rudders (bonus to Speed)
 * Hulls (bonuses to Combat, Morale, Seafaring, and Speed)

Once an upgrade is purchased, players can use them on any ship, even at the same time. Upgrades do not have to be purchased in the order displayed in the interface. If the player has the resources to purchase an upgrade, the padlock symbol will be gold. If the player has insufficient resources, then the padlock symbol will be grey. The upgrade options for the two deck hotspots are identical, and upgrades unlocked in one hotspot are automatically unlocked in the other.

Captain & Crew
A player may have a maximum of 5 captains and 25 crew members at any given time.

Your Crew
The crew roster shows your currently recruited units on the left and a recruiting interface on the right. You may get more information about individual captains or crew members by selecting them in the crew display. Information on the selected captain or crew member is shown below your crew display. If the unit is not on a voyage, it may be dismissed from the roster by clicking on the icon and then clicking on the red button in the bottom left corner.

Statistics
Each captain and crew member has statistics in Morale, Combat, Seafaring, and Speed. These are determined by four factors:

When a captain or crew member has been highlighted in the Crew Roster interface, if you hover your mouse over the Stat name ("Morale", "Combat", "Seafaring", or "Speed"), you can see how much of the Stat value is due to base value, level boost, personal bonus, or named traits.
 * The base stats of the particular type of unit, which are shown in the recruiting interface. The base stats alone determine the xp gain of the unit.
 * The level of the unit.
 * Any traits that the unit has.
 * Random bonuses specific to an individual unit. These do not appear in the crew roster until the unit has been recruited.

Level
Each captain and crew member has a level, which starts at 0 and can be increased by sending them on voyages. When a captain or crew member gains a level, their stats are increased by 10% of their base stats. This does not take into account any increases due to previous level-ups, individual bonuses, or traits. Therefore, for example, a Smuggler will always gain 7 Seafaring and only 7 Seafaring per level, no matter what.

Traits
Captains and crew members may have between zero and four traits, which are permanent modifiers given in addition to the unit's base statistics. It is possible to have the same trait in multiple trait slots, thereby stacking the trait's effect.

Some crew member types start with specific inherent traits, such as the Merchant trait for the Ardougne Shopkeeper, or the Staunch trait for Golems. Only inherent traits are shown in the recruiting interface under the picture of the crew member prior to recruitment. All other traits are only shown after recruitment.

Captains tend to have a much higher chance of having traits at recruitment than crew members. Traits may also occasionally be acquired as a listed (in this case not random) reward from some voyages.

Effects of the traits can be seen when hovering over the trait. The possible traits are:

The effects appear to be processed by crew placement from left to right, which can be important for abilities that do not stack. For example if you have a First Mate and an Eastern Overseer on a single voyage (both with Solidarity), if the First Mate is to the left of the Eastern Overseer, his lower Solidarity bonus will be applied first and the Eastern Overseer's higher bonus will be ignored.

Captains
A ship must have one and only one captain before it can go on a voyage. Until a captain has been assigned to a ship, crew cannot be assigned to it and previously assigned crew will not be shown.

Captains have base stats determined by their quality. Their base stats are the same for 3 stats while a fourth stat will have a higher stat, namely their specialty. The better the captain is, the more expensive they will be to hire. The starting captain is of the lowest quality. The first two tiers of captains are available from the start. Better captains are unlocked when The Hook is unlocked.

Some high-level bar upgrades increase your chance of attracting captains with particular specialties.

Personalities
In addition to their basic statistics and traits, each captain has a given personality listed under their trait. These do not seem to affect game play, but they do affect the appearance and dialogue of the captain. The personalities are:
 * Abrasive
 * Approachable
 * Calm
 * Cruel
 * Eccentric
 * Exuberant
 * Vicious

Crew members
Up to 5 crew members may be assigned to a ship. Only crew members assigned to a ship have an effect on that ship's voyage.

Not all crew types are available to the player at the start of the minigame. Once the player accomplishes certain voyages, or unlocks certain areas, more (and often better) crew types will become available. For example, one of the first additional unlocks is the Cyclops, which is received when the Island of Cyclosis voyage is successfully completed.

The base statistics, costs, and other data for the crew types are listed in the table below.

Do note that if you have a full listing of crew members, you will be unable to recruit more even if one is earned while on a voyage.

For the single-stat crew members, the dominant colour of the icon can be used to tell what type of crew member they are; green is morale, red is combat and blue is seafaring.

* Only 3 of this type at one time

Voyages
After equipping and crewing a ship, players send it out into the Eastern seas to attempt to accomplish a voyage. The length of a voyage varies depending on the distance traveled, difficulty of the voyage, and the combined speed statistics of the ship and crew. The estimated time of arrival (ETA) for each ship on a voyage can be seen by clicking on the vessel or by checking the logbook item while outside the port. With the proper setup, some voyages only take 15 minutes while others last hours.

Once a ship has returned, players receive a notification in their chatbox. Players must return to their port to check on the success of the voyage. Voyages can be successful or unsuccessful. Some successful voyages bring back resources such as Chimes, Bamboo, Black Slate, and Jade. Other voyages may bring back trade goods such as Ancient Bones, Spices, Chi, Plate, or Lacquer. Other successful voyages bring adventurers to the port, unlock new islands, or bring back parts of elusive scrolls for high level armour, food, or scrimshaws. A failed voyage does not bring back any reward, although it is still possible to have crew members level up. In addition, failed voyages may result in damage to the ship, loss of a crew member (including the Captain), or both. Equipping a ship with a Lifeboat increases the chance that a crew member lost overboard makes it back to Port.

Standard voyages
Players are given 15 new standard voyages each day. The voyage reroll counter is reset at 00:00 UTC. Rerolls may not be carried over day to day, but any standard voyages left in the three voyage slots do carry over to the next day. A list of the standard voyages can be found on the main page.

A Barmaid's Tip
Once every Thursday you can visit your ports bar and speak with the barmaid to hear some gossip about a standard voyage with increased rewards. This voyage will take the place of the third slot in the standard voyage interface. If there was a voyage already in that slot, it cannot be recovered. The missions you can receive are as follows:

Special voyages
Special Voyages require the "assistance" of one of six potential "Visiting Adventurers" that may appear daily in port and show in the "Visitors" dropdown interface. The various Adventurers are only available if the player's skill is 90+ in the same proficiency as their own, and their appearance that day is still not a guaranteed event even so. For example, the Missionary requires a 90+ in Prayer before he will randomly make an appearance, and the Biologist requires 90+ in Herblore. Adventurers can be attracted more often by building the appropriate Icons via the Building Upgrade interface. However only 3 icons can be made at one time, so a choice must be made as to which three are most important, should the player choose to build the icon(s).

A list of the names of the special voyages and type of reward:

Another type of special voyage is called "The Forgotten Scrolls." Successful completion of this voyage rewards the player with one segment of an Eastern Scroll. This special voyage can appear on the mission list with any of the six adventurers. Players can change which scroll segment will be awarded by selecting the sought scroll in the Port Management menu. Even when the voyage is already on the mission list, players are able to modify the scroll piece awarded upon the successful completion of the journey. However, once a ship has been sent off to the scroll-awarding voyage, changing the sought scroll in the Port Management menu will NOT change the reward. Players need to make sure to select the desired scroll before starting the journey.

Sometimes the same adventurer will be required by multiple special voyages. Players can only send each adventurer out once per day. This means that the player may only complete one of the the voyages that require the same adventurer. For example, if you choose to take one voyage with the Biologist which gives resource rewards, any other voyage that requires the Biologist will disappear from the list of possible voyages. As such, players need to prioritize between the potential gain of resources, a scroll piece, or furthering a storyline, as well as take into account the disparity between the requirements of these special voyages in order to find out the most desirable one.

It appears there is one story voyage for each region, after which you will no longer receive story voyages while exploring that region. Also for example if you had The Missionary in your port who has a Skull region resource voyage and you then unlock the Hook region he will retain the Skull resource voyage however he will also have the Hook story voyage.

The list of special voyages is refreshed daily at first login after 00:00 UTC.

Regions
Players begin with only The Arc unlocked. Progress toward unlocking additional regions advances as your ships undertake voyages, logging more distance traveled. Distance is traveled and progress is made regardless of the success or failure of a voyage.

Each region unlocked is progressively further away than the last. For example, to unlock the Skull region, a distance of 5,000 must be traveled; however, to unlock the Hook region, a distance of 40,000 must be traveled. The Captain's log, given by navigator Duncan, shows your total distance traveled on the Port statistics page.

As each additional region unlocked is farther from the port, their voyages have higher requirements for success and longer voyage times, but give better resources to reward success. Unlocking a region also unlocks new crew members from that region, with better base stats to help overcome the higher adversity.

Strategies
In the early stages, focus on completing every voyage successfully. Because there are a limited amount of standard and special voyages per day, it's more important to complete the voyages that pose the least risk first, before attempting higher risk voyages later in the day. In other words, maximize your success rates for the voyages you can manage (90% or more success rate) and leave others until more upgrades are acquired or until crew members level up from easier voyages. You should try to always have 3 or less voyages remaining before the port resets to ensure you do not lose any voyages. If you have no voyages left which you can get over 50-60% it is better to send out expendable crewmembers than to lose a voyage because a failed voyage still progresses your exploration to unlock new areas. In some cases, a failed voyage could also mean the death of a potentially skilled and valuable crew member, which is why it is not recommended to send your best guys on a voyage with less than 50% success. Also, a failed voyage can result in expensive and time-consuming damage to your ship. The Black Marketeer can fix your ship without you having to wait the required time, but for a hefty price. As of this time, rerolling voyages is never a good idea as it will take away from your total voyages for the day.

Increasing voyage success rate means using the right combination of crew member and ship upgrades. Voyages require 1 or more of the following stats: Morale, Seafaring, or Combat. Using crew members, ship upgrades, or items that affect those stats will increase the success rate.

Crew members are particularly important for the success of a voyage. In general, the strongest skill of basic crew members can be identified easily by looking at the color of their bandana. Red bandanas indicate a crew member with mainly combat stats, blue bandanas indicate seafaring, and green bandanas indicate morale. Using a Brimhaven Pirate with only 150 Combat won't increase the success rate of a voyage which requires Morale. However, if success rate is adequate, even without a full crew, it still may be beneficial to include additional crew members to fill the voyage. Any crew member that is part of a successful voyage gains experience and can level up, increasing their stats. Those bolstered stats can improve the success rate on future voyages, so it's useful to try to level up your crew members whenever possible. In order to maximize crew experience it is best to try and focus on better crew members quickly, it is more effective to have a level 3 catherby fisherman with 200 seafaring than a level 3 smuggler with 100.

Ship upgrades are also particularly important for the success of a voyage, especially because any upgrade unlocked can be used on any ship you own on all future voyages. Five upgrades can be applied to the ship, but one (the rudder) doesn't directly affect the success rate. It is recommended to change what you have on your ship first to meet the mission requirements, then change your crewmembers.

Certain effects can also bolster ship stats on a voyage temporarily. These can be earned through random events in the port, which can occur after checking the status of a returning voyage.

Voyages to further portions of the east may take more time, but in time you'll be able to manage 3 or 4 ships to speed up the rate you complete your daily voyages. Rudder upgrades, captains that specialize in speed (at the cost of specializing in a main attribute) and some varieties of crewmen can also improve voyage speed.

One should decide about the voyages that are given. Arc voyages take 21 minutes (without any speed boosts). Skull voyages take 1 hour extra, and Hook voyages take 2 hours extra. If one is needing resources quickly, and have just hired new crew members (like replacing your whole crew with Pincer region crewmembers), they should level up quickly by doing Skull or Hook missions to level up before taking on any special, Bowl, Scythe or Pincer missions. This means you should have a few ships concentrating on the high level missions (as a Pincer region voyage can take up to 6 hours 21 mins to complete), and a few ships concentrating on the low/moderate level missions for some extra resources when the need arrives.

Resources are also an important pick for your port. You will want a large amount of chimes, bamboo and slate to make your port up-to-date. Chimes are used for upgrading the warehouse, which will result in extra resources from a successful voyage. You will need a good amount of bamboo and slate to upgrade the office (which results in more voyages, thus meaning higher resource rate), bar (for a better captain), or workshop (to create the Player-owned-port armors). After that, you should aim on increasing your supply of resources (bamboo is needed if the ship's crew mutinies, as this results in a loss of some bamboo for repairs).

Rewards
Among the range of rewards available from player-owned ports are degradable level 85 armours: Tetsu armour, which is melee class; Death Lotus armour, which is ranged class; and Sea singer's robes, which are magic class. These items can be created by players with 90 Smithing, Crafting, and Runecrafting respectively (non-assistable, unboostable, and the materials are untradeable). Players can create two versions of this armour: tradeable versions with slightly lower stats that crumble to dust when fully degraded, and untradeable versions with slightly higher stats that can be repaired either with coins or port resources. Other available rewards include the high level food rocktail soup, and scrimshaws, which are items for the new pocket slot. These rewards require the player's ships to retrieve 4 pieces of a scroll relating to each item for the player to be able to produce them. Once a scroll is completed, the parts for that scroll are removed from the possible finds for that player.

Titles
Titles are unlocked by increasing your Port Score, found in your captain's log. The titles are found under Descriptions in the Titles section of the Customization screen. In the Captain's Log, the First Mate title is referenced as First Officer. This is likely an error in the Captain's Log.
 * [Name] the Cabin Boy/Girl (1-399)
 * Bo'sun [Name] (400-799)
 * First Mate [Name] (800-1199)
 * Cap'n [Name] (1200-1599)

Recipe Scrolls
While Shark soup is present on the item list of the Grand Exchange, and despite the fact that it was introduced in the same update, it is currently unable to be cooked at any known location in RuneScape - the stoves in the Workshop constructed within the port only offer the ability to prepare Rocktail soup. There are several hints present that would seem to indicate that Shark soup is merely a remnant of previous development stages and is not intended to be available at this time: unlike all the rest of the new craftable items, it can not be created as of yet; the Shark soup heals less life points than its presumed ingredient, a Shark; and finally, its starting price on the Grand Exchange was only 1 coin as opposed to Rocktail soup, which appeared first with a value of 5000 coins. Therefore, it is assumed that should Shark soup ever be properly released, its properties will be at least somewhat reworked.
 * [[File:Rocktail soup.png]] Rocktail soup
 * [[File:Shark soup.png]] Shark soup (unreleased)

Trade Goods
These trade goods are components for completing or assembling the items described in the scrolls, much as Herblore uses components in potions. The player's current supply of these items is shown under the "Resources" drop down menu at the top of the screen while in port.
 * Ancient bones - used for creation of Scrimshaws
 * Plate - used for creation of Tetsu armour.
 * Spices - used for creation of Rocktail soup and Shark soup.
 * Lacquer - used for creation of Death lotus armour.
 * Chi - used for creation of Sea singer's robes.

Experience
When a player receives a special voyage with the reward of experience listed, the player will receive experience in the skill associated with whichever adventurer is connected to that voyage.
 * The Missionary - Prayer
 * The Convict - Thieving
 * The Biologist - Herblore
 * The Assassin - Slayer
 * The Whaler - Fishing
 * The Occultist - Runecrafting

Ship Updates
Whilst on a voyage, you may occasionally receive random updates about your ship, which do not impact on your ships voyage in any way. These include random observations, notices, etc.
