COARRI to TIC4.0

INTRODUCTION

Whitepaper EDI to TIC4.0

 

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 container handling 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

The following segment groups are defined in this standard:

Segment Groups

The segment groups will be mentioned here in the order they are used in the COARRI specification. Some of the segments are split. Other segments are integrated in it.

We follow here the order in the COARRI specification and list short descriptions of the content. The details can be found in the sub pages.

Segment Group 2: TDT - RFF

Details of Transport - A segment identifying the voyage of the vessel relevant to the message (main
transport)

Segment Group 2: TDT - RFF

Segment Group 3: LOC

A segment to specify a location related to the means of transport such as places
and ports of arrival and departure. Date and Time is related to the location

Segment Group 3 LOC

Segment Group 4: NAD - SGS

A segment to identify the party's name and address which is applicable to the whole message

Segment Group 4: NAD - SGS

Segment Group 5: CTA - COM

A segment to identify a person or department of a message sender and/or
message recipient, such as: - information contact

Segment Group 5: CTA - COM

 

Segment Group 6: EQD-RFF-TMD-DTM-SG7-
MEA-DIM-SG8-SEL-FTX-SG9-EQA-HAN-SG11-
SG12-NAD

Segment Group 6 is a segment identifying a container, container size/type and includes other significant information related to the container.

The segment groups holds different Tags to identify the information and is “interrupted” by other segment groups to give more information about the status of the container or the content.
