0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the
Bayplan/stowage plan total numbers message (BAPLTE) 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 to transmit information about the total numbers of
equipment and quantity of goods on a means of transport. The
message can be exchanged between (liner's) agents, tonnage
centers, stevedores and ships masters/operators (see section
1.3 for more details).
1.2 Field of Application
This message may be applied for both national and international
trade. It is based on universal practice and is not dependent
on the type of business or industry.
1.3 Principles
In the shipping industry the BAPLTE message can be used between
partners as indicated below:
ships/liner ============== 1 ============== ships/liner
agents =======2===== =====13====== agents
| | | |
| 3 | |
| | | |
| | | |
I tonnage ==5 ====== | | ======11= tonnage
I centre =========|==|=====|===|==6===== centre

PORT OF DEPARTURE(PD) NEXT PORT OF CALL(NC)
1) Agent (PD) to agent (NC)
2) Agent (PD) to ships master/operator (PD)
3) Agent (PD) to tonnage centre (PD)
4) Agent (PD) to stevedore (PD)
5) Tonnage centre (PD) to ships master/operator (PD)
6) Tonnage centre (PD) to tonnage centre (NC)
7) Tonnage centre (PD) to stevedore (PD)
8) Stevedore (PD) to tonnage centre
9) Stevedore (PD) to stevedore (NC)
10) Stevedore (PD) to ships master/operator (PD)
11) Ships master/operator to tonnage centre (NC)
12) Ships master/operator to stevedore (NC)
13) Ships master/operator to agent (NC)
The above gives only one set of communication channels per
organisation but in practice there will be a combination of one
or more channels per organisation from or to port of
departure/next port of call.
- The message will contain only one vessel/voyage combination,
giving details regarding carrier, mode of transport, means of
transport and total numbers of equipment or packages by
location (i.e., port) and/or by type or equipment or packages.
- The bayplan message BAPLIE must be used to transmit detailed
information about equipment, location on the means of
transport, goods descriptions and properties of equipment
and/or goods.
