INTRODUCTION
A message by which the container terminal reports that the containers specified have been discharged
from a seagoing vessel (discharged as ordered, overlanded or shortlanded), or have been loaded into a
seagoing vessel. This message is part of a total set of container-related messages. These messages serve
to facilitate the intermodal handling of containers by streamlining the information exchange. The business
scenario for the container messages is clarified in a separate document, called “Guide to the scenario of
EDIFACT container messages”.
The COARRI message is used to transmit a confirmation that containers have been loaded onto or have
been discharged from a seagoing vessel. This message is commonly sent by the terminal operator
handling the vessel to the shipping line (or it’s agent).
In addition to containers loaded or discharged, the COARRI message may also be used to confirm that
containers have been shifted on board the vessel or that containers have been discharged and reloaded
(restowed) onto the vessel.
As base for the translation we used the smdg standard document for COARRI213. See SMDG-COARRI213
