How do I specify a departing vessel for a transhipment container in an IFTMCS message?

If you want to include details of, for example, the connecting feeder in the IFTMCS message, you do this in the TPL segment. Only the means of transport and the transport means name are imported. We do not use any of the other fields. Example: TPL+SEA:::VSZP7'. It is not possible to include the voyage number.

With ECT Delta Terminal it has been agreed that instead of the vessel name, you can also provide the radio call sign. In the TPL segment you only specify the next mode of transport. Want to specify a next vessel? Then enter the combination with the call sign or the vessel name.

Allowed values are converted to the domain values of the Mode_of_Transport-domain:

  • BARGE = 8 (inland water transport)

  • RAIL = 2 (rail transport)

  • SEA = 1 (maritime transport)

  • TRUCK = 3 (road transport)
