Terminal Operators: TOS AUGMENTATIONVALUE PROPOSITION: Empower what the TOS does by adding different data sources to TOS capabilities using the same language to reduce complexity on integration and adoption. Enable the data before it has been processed into the TOS or validated to anticipate the actions.
Global Terminal OperatorsVALUE PROPOSITION: Reduce the integration efforts across terminals
AgenciesVALUE PROPOSITION: Be connected to different data sources from stakeholders (as terminals, central planners…) using the same standard. For instance: Send EDIs as converted to TIC to terminals and shipping line (COPRARs and Bookings) and receive validated load and discharge list in TIC (For which there are not currently EDI standard) Modernize interfacing EDIVALUE PROPOSITION: Intermediate step to modernize and reduce the complexity of the EDI. TIC4.0 global adoption will take time. In the meantime, a translator is needed between EDI and TIC to enable all terminals and systems integration using the same standard. Next step In future it will be possible to communicate directly using TIC and not EDI anymoreexchange all data using the same integrated technology. |
EDI structure
The base of the Task Force review and conversion is the Ship Message Design Group (SMDG) Standard which is published by the SMDG group, see EDIFACT MIGs – SMDG e.V. .
...
As you can find the extract below 2005 is the id of the list. 132, 133, 178 and 186 are the allowed values.
The next example in this line is the 203. This is an entry from the code list 2379. In this case only the value 203 is allowed.
...
5 - full or empty indicator code – element of list 8169 (allowed values 4, 5, 6)

Translation Methodology
The review of the EDI messages and translation was done by going through the EDI standard segment-wise. For each segment we considered the possible values transferred and allowed in each TAG. These are either translated in existing TIC4.0 fields or new fields were defined.
...
The table used contains several columns to define the ‘to-be-mapped’ content and the TIC Data Mapping fields.
Explanation of the Columns in the attached EXCEL Data base:
Column | Name | Content |
---|---|---|
A | ### | counter / id |
B | Possible Code | Allowed Codes according to SMDG |
C | EDI SMDG Data Element | Name of the data element |
D | EDI SMDG Component Element | Name of the data component element (like list number) |
E | EDI SMDG Data name | SMDG Name of the data |
F | “Human Name” | Explanation which data are kept in this field |
G | TIC Data Mapping | Mapping in the TIC Data structure |

Extract from the EXCEL Sheet with the translation of this example:

203 - CCYYMMDDHHMM | 2379 | Date or time or period format code | COARRI is CCYYMMDDHHMM format ant TIC4.0 is always in ISO8601 format |
...
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.
Allowed values | Translation TIC4.0 |
---|---|
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.
