0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Container
gate-in/gate-out report message (CODECO) to be used in
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
involved in administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
A message by which a terminal, depot, etc. confirms that the
containers specified have been delivered or picked up by the
inland carrier (road, rail or barge). This message can also be
used to report internal terminal container movements (excluding
loading and discharging the vessel) and to report the change in
status of container(s) without those containers having
physically been moved.
This message is part of a total set of container-related
messages. These messages serve to facilitate the intermodal
handling of containers by streamlining the information
exchange. The business scenario for the container messages is
clarified in a separate document, called: 'Guide to the
scenario of EDIFACT container messages'.
1.2 Field of application
The Container gate-in/gate-out report message may be used for
both national and international applications. It is based on
universal practice related to administration, commerce and
transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
Business area:
Pre- and on-carriage transport of containers/equipment.
Sending functions include:
Container depot, Inland terminal, Container freight station
Receiving functions include:
Shipping agent, Logistic center, Shipper (copy), Freight
forwarder (copy) and Inland carrier (copy)
In the context of the 'Guide to the scenario of EDIFACT
container messages' (as referred to at the start of section 1)
the following guidelines, rules and functionality apply to this
Container gate-in/gate-out report message:
* The message contents can be uniquely identified by a
combination of the following data elements:
- ordering customer, coded (NAD)
- ordering customer agent, coded (NAD)
- container announcement reference (being the release order
reference number or the acceptance order reference number)
(RFF)
The ordering customer agent, coded is needed to supplement the
unique identification only in the next situation: the agent
acts on behalf of several ordering customers issuing the same
range of reference numbers for each customer.
E.g. the ship's agent acts on behalf of several shipping lines
issuing for each shipping line the same range of numbers.
* A copy of this message may be sent e.g. to the shipper,
freight forwarder, the inland waterways and rail carriers,
according to the communication addresses as mentioned in the
Container announcement.
* One message may contain several containers.
* A supplementary container reference (container sequence
number) is used to refer to the information of the container(s)
in the Container announcement, if the container prefix and
number was not completed in that message.
* An indicator for the transport status (i.e. export, import,
transhipment or continental) is to be completed on container
level (EQD-segment).
* One shipping line can be specified on message level.
* The seagoing vessel and sea voyage number can be specified
on message level.
* Inland transport details can be specified for each
individual container.
* For each container its place of discharge or its position
of loading (stowage cell) in/on the means of inland transport
can be specified.
* In case of export the port of discharge and any port of
transhipment can be specified for each individual container.
* The date/time of pick-up and final address of positioning
or the date/time of delivery must be given for each container.
* For each container seals can be specified affixed by the
shipper, container freight station, terminal, sea carrier and
Customs.
The transport sub-working group (D4) has developed
recommendations for a harmonised implementation of this message
through its subgroup ITIGG (International Transport
Implementation Guidelines Group).
Users implementing the message are strongly advised to apply
these recommendations, which may be obtained from the D4
secretariat.
