INTRODUCTION This specification provides the definition of the Container discharge/loading report message (COARRI) 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 the container terminal reports that the containers specified have been discharged from a seagoing vessel (discharged as ordered, overlanded or shortlanded), or have been loaded into a seagoing vessel. 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 discharge/loading 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: Loading and discharging of containers/equipment Sending functions include: Container terminal, Stevedore Receiving functions include: Ship's agent, Liner agent 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 discharge/loading 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 discharge/loading order reference (RFF) The ordering customer agent, coded is needed to supplement the unique identification only in the following 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 message contains information on only one visit/conveyance of a seagoing container vessel either arriving or departing. * A message contains a report of either discharged or loaded containers from or into the seagoing container vessel. One report message does not necessarily cover all loaded/discharged containers. * An indicator for the equipment status may be completed on container level (EQD-segment), e.g., import, overlanded or shortlanded (for a discharged container) or export (for a loaded container). * One shipping line can be specified on message level. * The seagoing container vessel and sea voyage number can be specified on message level. * For each container its cell position on board the container vessel and its port of discharge can be given. * For each container dangerous goods information can be specified. * A supplementary container reference number (container sequence number) is used to refer to the information of the container(s) in the loading order message, if the container prefix and number was not completed in that message. * Goods item details cannot be completed. 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. 2.
