Pre carriage transport
The pre-carriage transport can be carried out by any transport mode. Therefore for details of
the pre carriage transport scenario reference should be made to the appropriate scenario for
the relevant transport mode. Noting that :
- in the pre-carriage transport referred to, the consignee is the shipping line
- following information flows are likely to be excluded :
* despatch advice to consignee
* advice of receipt of goods
* pre arrival notification
If automatic identification is used for transport purposes, the labelling is indicated in that
specific pre-carriage scenario. The transport label may be used to check the loading of the
goods from the pre-carriage to the main carriage.
6. Shipping instruction
The consignor informs the carrier about the details of the consignment and the conditions
under which the transport will take place. The carrier needs this basic information to prepare
the necessary transport documents (B/L, Seaway bill, Data Freight Receipt,…..)
If EDI is used, the message IFTMIN, or IFCSUM will be used.
In addition and according to the nature of the goods to be transported, some extra documents
may be necessary (e.g. Dangerous goods declaration, copy of the despatch advice as sent to
the consignee)
