Nowadays, EDIFACT is the established method to exchange information between terminals. For example, operator orders informing about the expected arrival and departure of cargo along with the associated visits & means of transport. These are used in the TOS for operational planning on the terminal e.g. berth planning, stacking or (un)loading.
Challenges
At the moment it is hard The main challenge is to obtain valuable combined information or create useful automated “triggers” as EDI lacks integration with TIC.

We have 4 different allowed values which describe “different meanings” for the following date. This means that they have to go to different fields in the TIC 4.0 format.
132 - Arrival date/time, estimated | tos|@|carriervisit|@|arrival|@mooring|@|firstline|time|planned|timestamp: 2380 if 2005=132 |
133 - Departure date/time, estimated | tos|@|carriervisit|@|departure|@|mooring|@|firstline|time|planned|timestamp: 2380 if 2005=133 |
178 - Arrival date/time, actual | tos|@|carriervisit|@|arrival|@|mooring|@|firstline|time|actual|timestamp: 2380 if 2005=178 |
186 - Departure date/time, actual | tos|@|carriervisit|@|departure|@|mooring|@|firstline|time|actual|timestamp: 2380 if 2005=186 |
The component element 2380 holds the date and time: 200211131700.
The component element 2379 holds the format description of the component element 2308: CCYYMMDDHHMM.
