Development issue: Discharge terminal changes after release

Scenario:

• Discharge terminal changes after shipping company has sent release.

Roles:

• Shipping Line / Agent
• Terminal
• Release-to Party
• Cargo Director(s)
• Inland Operator(s)

Services:

• MLI
• Cargo Controller
• Cargo Release Manager
• MCA

Result:

• A previously accepted pre-notification at the terminal is no longer valid.
• Shipping companies must withdraw all releases and reissue them to the new terminal.
• All chain partners will lose their commercial release until the new release becomes available.

Workaround:

• The Inland Operator must withdraw his prior pre-notification.
• All parties are waiting until the new release is available. Processing the update of releases can take between 20 minutes and 1 hour.
• The Inland Operator can submit a new pre-notification if the chain has been restored at the new terminal.
