INTRODUCTION This specification provides the definition of the Bayplan/stowage plan occupied and empty locations message (BAPLIE) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport. 1. SCOPE The bayplan/stowage plan occupied and empty locations message may be used for both national and international applications. The reporting of empty locations has to be mutually agreed between partners. The BAPLIE message is typically exchanged between a container terminal operator / stevedore, vessel operator, shipping line, ship's master, tonnage center, non-vessel operating common carrier, container operator, slot charterer, customs and other authorities. It is based on universal practice related to monitoring the logistics transport chain and is not dependent on the type of business or industry. 1.1 Functional definition A message to transmit information about equipment (mostly containers) and goods on a means of transport (typically a container vessel), including their location on the means of transport. 1.2 Field of application The Bayplan/stowage plan occupied and empty locations 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 BAPLIE has been designed for application with container vessels deployed in scheduled liner services. Message principles, however, might be applied in other areas of transportation too. The message is used to transmit information related only to one vessel/voyage combination. Information transmitted by the message is related to only one port of call. It shows the status of cargo on board the vessel after departure from this port and by this also shows the arrival status at vessel's next port of call. If created before vessel's departure, the message might be used to describe planned status. If created after departure, it describes vessel's actual status. Typically the message transmits information on all containers and other goods on board the vessel (Full BAPLIE). In that case the BAPLIE shows the total amount of occupied locations, cargo and containers on board the vessel. It is also possible to transmit only cargo related to a single container operator (Part BAPLIE). The message contains the following vessel related information: Vessel name and identifier, related port and next port of call, arrival and departure dates at the related and next port of call. The message contains the following cargo related information: Equipment ID, size-type code, weight, stowage location on the vessel and the responsible operator party, port of loading and discharge. Dependent on nature of cargo further attributes such as temperature control, identification of dangerous goods, non-standard dimensions, handling requirements may be added. A full BAPLIE contains information about stowage locations which cannot be used for loading equipment. 2. REFERENCES See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1. 3.
