Fits with checks

Fits with checks

Decided by: Access for a shore trip, Closure check, Logistics, Checks on the day. Poor if any factor is poor. Otherwise cannot establish if access, launch or the closure check cannot be established, or if the trip needs a current reading that cannot be had. Otherwise conditional if any factor is conditional or unknown. Otherwise good.
