How can I pass on the commercial release per item in Cargo Controller Import?

We explain the bulk processing of this action further below. You can only apply this article once you have received a commercial release.

Passing on releases

Passing on a release differs depending on the role of the chain party you are going to manage.

Option 1: Are you passing on the release to your inland operator? Then you nominate the inland operator.

Option 2: Are you passing on the release to another forwarder? Then you designate this party as the next cargo director. In some cases, this concerns a “transfer” of cargo upon arrival at the terminal.

Nominating an inland operator

Follow the steps below if you want to nominate an inland operator:

  1. Click the Secure Chain status of your container. You will then see your role and your rights; based on that, Cargo Controller Import shows which actions you are allowed to perform. See the screenshot below as an example.

    Secure Chain popup nominate inland operator in Cargo Controller
  2. Click Nominate Inland Operator. A new screen opens.

  3. You will see the screen below. Enter the organisation name of your inland operator; it will then be displayed in alphabetical order. If the name occurs in multiple versions, you will also see the location and/or the unique EAN number of your inland operator as additional identification.
    This list shows all inland operators registered in PCS; you can reduce this list by activating Trusted Inland Operators. This is a so-called “white list” that limits the options to that list. Read more about this in the article Restrict the Inland Operator list to fixed inland operators within the Secure Chain. This action can only be carried out by main administrators.

    Input screen to enter name of inland operator to complete the nomination.

  4. Click Nominate. In the overview screen, the Secure Chain status has now been updated and is shown in green. See the example below.
