This release provides the ability to load the CSV file provided by Lloyds to update your Vessels Masterfile. Lloyds recently removed their data feed to Expedient. They now supply the Vessel Information by email including the ability to download a CSV file containing the Vessel movements.
If you now receive the Lloyds information by email use the following steps to load the file into Expedient.

- Open the file. This is a .xls file.
- Save the file as a .csv to your desktop
- Go to the Expedient menu option Administration>Load Vessels File
Use the Browse button to locate the file and click Start Import.-
The file will load. If Expedient finds any problems in the file the errors will be listed in the screen.
- When the file load is successful Expedient will update the Vessel Masterfile, update all Consols and Jobs that are affected by the Vessel Information and run reports to the Users who receive the change reports.
