New service Discharge list live The new service Discharge list will be available from the end of July. Shipping lines and cargo handling agents focusing on containers can use this service to easily generate electronic discharge lists and send these on to the container terminals using the Internet. Terminals can consequently operate more efficiently and thus improve their service levels.
Another major advantage of the new service is that container information already submitted to the Port Community System earlier for customs purposes through Cargo declaration EDI or Cargo declaration Internet can be reused to compile the discharge lists. The service Discharge list in addition constitutes the basis for proper feedback from the terminal to shipping lines/cargo handling agents about the actual number of discharged containers (too few/many). This takes place through the Port infolink service Discharge confirmation report.
Easy submission of loading lists No discharge list without a loading list. Through the new service Loading list, Port infolink therefore offers customers in the container sector the option to electronically submit loading lists as well. They can do this via EDI or, very easily, by sending Excel documents through the Internet. Regarding the latter, Port infolink takes care of the conversion to the EDI format required by the container terminal. It simply couldn’t be any easier.
