Changelog

Releases, improvements, and updates to DirectPort.

Release 25

03.03.2026 Release

Features

Autofill Timestamps from Vessel Tracking

When a voyage has vessel tracking data available, you can now automatically populate stop timestamps (arrival, departure, etc.) from the vessel's recorded positions. Open the action menu on a voyage and select "Autofill Timestamps" to review and apply the suggested times — no more manual copy-pasting from tracking logs. Autofill from uploaded documents is coming soon.

Copy Demurrage Calculation to Other Party

After calculating demurrage on one side of a voyage (e.g. the supplier), you can now copy that calculation to the matching terms on the other party's side with a single click. This avoids re-entering the same laytime and demurrage figures when both parties share the same terms.

Voyage Costs Report

A new Voyage Costs report is now available in the Report Creator. It shows financial items enriched with voyage context — costs, vendors, invoice numbers, load/discharge ports, B/L dates and weights — making it easy to build cost overviews across voyages.

Financial Inbox Improvements

• Time filter: the financial inbox now defaults to showing items from the last 3 months, with a configurable time range selector. The direction filter has been removed in favour of clearer defaults.
• Soft-delete & restore: inbox items can now be marked as deleted and restored if needed, keeping your inbox tidy without losing data permanently.
• Search & navigation: the search query is now persisted in the URL, and the prev/next item navigation correctly accounts for the active filter.

Invoice Totals Row

The invoices table now shows a totals row at the bottom, giving you an at-a-glance sum of invoice amounts across the current view.

Fixes

• Improved invoice rounding consistency: VAT and total calculations are now robust against floating-point precision issues across the frontend, invoice templates, and database triggers.
• Fixed recurring invoice deficit-to-threshold being calculated per day instead of per operation.
• Fixed route operation map trying to calculate a route when a stop has only one location or a location without coordinates.
• Fixed self-billing scenario label being ambiguous when viewed from the financial inbox table.
• Fixed error boundary not displaying errors and not forwarding them to Sentry.
• Fixed invoice line allocation amount not being editable.
• Fixed voyage insights cargo statistic column colours being too similar.

Other

• Consolidated the voyage financial combined view: demurrage and low water sections are now grouped under a single accordion for clarity.
• Refactored the demurrage calculator for improved stability and reduced re-renders.
• Admin app adopted Mantine UI and AG Grid, replacing the previous custom table and modal components.
• Added TypeScript type-checking to the main-app pre-commit hook.
• Prepared template sync script for managing HTML document templates from the repository.
• Upgraded Vite from v6 to v7.
• Added npm dependency caching to GitHub Actions deploy workflows.
• Purged unused vessel technical files and other dead code.
• Admin app now includes Sentry and email monitoring widgets.

Release 24

20.02.2026 Release

Features

Invoice Line Allocation

• New tool to allocate invoice lines to voyage financial items. Available from the invoice detail page and the financial inbox, with support for creating new financial items on the fly and overwriting amounts.

Self-Billing Invoices

• Support for self-billing workflows: create self-billing invoices and credit notes, send them via Peppol, and see a clear "Self-Billing" badge on the invoice page.

Purchase Order Processing

• The financial inbox now recognises and processes Purchase Orders. Approving a PO automatically creates a linked Sales Invoice with the PO number as buyer reference.

Time Charter Calculation

• Automatic time charter cost calculation for voyages with daily-rent contracts, including off-hire day deductions. Triggered when the last stop's operation completes.

Voyage Insights Filters

• Insights dashboard now supports custom date ranges, status filters (Completed / Active / All), weight basis selection (BL / Planned), and filtering by customer party.

Location Assigned Region

• Locations can now have a manually assigned region, independent of the auto-detected address region.

Fixes

• Fixed invoice detail page not showing a proper loading state or clear error message when an invoice cannot be found.
• Fixed bill of lading weight changes not correctly triggering financial item recalculation for per-tonne freight.

• Fixed invoice link icon in the financial items sheet not showing when the linked invoice has no number yet.

Other

• Upgraded Recharts from v2 to v3.
• Insights calculations now use financial item fields instead of legacy voyage cost fields, improving accuracy and consistency.
