This function can be used for both one document per container and one document for multiple transport equipments.
The field ‘Transport Equipment’
When you submit documents to a container terminal you enter the container number (consisting of 11 positions; 4 letters followed by 7 digits).
When you submit documents to a ferry terminal, besides a container number there are other options for submitting the transport equipment number. For escorted transport, the vehicle registration plate of the tractor unit (without hyphens, so enter NL-AB-99 as NLAB99). For trailers, the trailer number shown on the trailer. For other vehicles, the chassis number (VIN number). If you are unclear about how to enter the equipment number in a specific case, please contact the ferry operator.
This function can be used for a single container with multiple documents.
! It is possible to have your customer receive a notification when the status of the shipment changes. If this is desired, enter the e-mail address of the contact person for your customer in the field ‘Notify party’.
! Some shipping companies use both a booking number and a deposit reference number. In that case, the shipping company’s deposit reference number must be entered in the field for the booking number.
! For T1 or T2 documents ending in Rotterdam, use the document code RT1 or RT2 respectively. If your documents must be cleared by Customs in another EU Member State, select the code TT1 or TT2.
