Is it necessary to create a train journey for status information about the cargo?
It is not necessary for the train journey to be present in the system or be created in order to retrieve the status of the cargo via status information.

Trains will not be turned away and will be allowed in if capacity is available. If the container information (documents/containers) are not in order, the containers in question will not be discharged/loaded.
