Difference between equipment number and shipment number in Notification Import Documentation

Notification Import Documentation can be used for both deepsea, shortsea, and ferry terminals. The difference between equipment number and shipment number is related to this.

Deepsea and shortsea terminals generally want to receive your import document per container. In that case, you fill in the unique container number in the equipment number field.

For ferry terminals, however, it is necessary to submit your import document per shipment number. The shipment number consists of: SCAC code carrier, the booking number, and the shipment sequence number. Shipment numbers of ferry operators have the following format:

  • CLDN: CLVW0012345678001
  • DFDS/KVSA: DFDS123456780001
  • P&O: PONFHU12345678001
  • Stena Line: STNL0012345678001

In this overview you will find which cargo flows the terminals support.
