The (cargo handling) agent with this has a discharge conformation as well as the correct basic information for his statement harbor dues.
As much as possible, information already present in the Port Community System is reused for Discharge information. (Cargo handling) agents in the bulk sector offer input for the new service through Cargo declaration Internet.
Market parties & planning Port infolink is developing this new service for the bulk sector in close consultation with a project group from the business community. The market introduction has been planned for the summer of 2008.Business issues Regarding the unloading of a bulk carrier, the bulk terminal/surveyor/forwarder and (cargo handling) agent have frequent contact with one another about, among other things, cargo information (B/L information), stowage information and the actual weight discharged. Most of this information exchange currently takes places by telephone, fax and mail. This constitutes a major burden on all parties. The service Discharge information offers the solution to this.
