I am unsuccessful in transferring the ship to another agent. Why is that?

There are various reasons why you might be unsuccessful in transferring a vessel call to another agent:

  • The vessel call has been rejected with a berth sequence error. If that is the case, it is also not possible to transfer the vessel call. When a berth sequence error is shown in the screens, this means that the specified berth sequence does not correspond to the information available to the Port Authority. The order of the berths will need to be adjusted. You can contact the Port Authority for this or consult the e-mail with the correct order of berths sent by the Port Authority.
  • An inactive cargo handling agent has been used. In that case, the vessel call cannot be transferred either. If you have used one or more inactive cargo handling agents, you must delete them and next hit save. After that, it is possible to transfer the ship.
  • In order to be able to transfer the ship to another agent, it is important that the berths are set to ‘arrived’. All previously specified berths will need to have an ATA in order to be able to transfer them.
