Welcome to INTTRA<br />
INTTRA’s mission is to be the<br />
preferred global e-commerce<br />
shipping platform.<br />
INTTRA - The Global Network for Container Shipping<br />
Now more than ever, the shipping industry depends on communication and accurate documentation<br />
to keep global trade flowing efficiently. Founded in 2000, we combine advanced<br />
solutions for organizing and streamlining shipment processes with a simple connection to the<br />
world’s largest network of carriers.<br />
Standardize Your Ocean Shipping Documentation Process<br />
With INTTRA’s documentation products for Shipping Instructions and Bills of Lading, shippers<br />
and forwarders can standardize the documentation process using a range of INTTRA channel<br />
solutions, INTTRA Desktop (offline), INTTRA Act (online) or INTTRA Link for an integrated solution<br />
using XML or EDI.<br />
Introducing Multi-Carrier Remote B/L Print from INTTRA<br />
If you use many ocean carriers, you know the problem – each carrier offers a different format, a<br />
different process and different legal requirements for managing a Bill of Lading (“B/L”). Now,<br />
INTTRA offers one, standardized communication process and workflow for collaborating with<br />
your carriers. INTTRA facilitates and streamlines the process of reviewing, amending, approving,<br />
printing and sharing Sea Waybills and Bills of Lading. The result: faster B/L turn times, fewer<br />
errors, higher productivity and lower cost.<br />
“Each of our carriers uses a different<br />
process to deliver drafts and Final B/Ls<br />
– some carriers host B/Ls at their website,<br />
others deliver B/Ls by email, fax<br />
or courier. With so much inconsistency,<br />
it’s inevitable that some files ‘fall<br />
through the cracks’. With INTTRA, anyone<br />
on the team can check B/L status<br />
and finalize the B/L from one location<br />
– INTTRA.com”<br />

Use One Process for Many Carriers<br />
INTTRA’s multi-carrier remote B/L print is supported by Alianca, CMA-CGM, DAL, Hamburg Sud,<br />
Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk Line, MSC and Safmarine. Shippers and forwarders use one consistent<br />
process for all participating carriers and sign just one Bill of Lading Agreement, saving significant<br />
time on legal review and carrier approval.<br />
Track Key Events Throughout the Bill of Lading Process<br />
INTTRA monitors message distribution and logs interaction between carriers and shippers, including<br />
date and time of key events. Customers can also subscribe to notifications, delivered as soon as<br />
a new or revised Bill of Lading is posted at INTTRA. There are no lost faxes and undeliverable emails.<br />
Choose The Delivery Option That’s Best For You<br />
Registered users can access, review and print their Bills of Lading remotely via INTTRA’s web site<br />
(“BL Act”) or receive Bills of Lading via INTTRA’s PDF Router for download into in-house systems.<br />

Getting Started with Multi-Carrier B/L Print from INTTRA<br />
To get started, just follow the 4–step process below:<br />
1. Consult with INTTRA and your carriers: Your INTTRA Sales Director can arrange a<br />
consultation with you and your carriers to review the services offered by your carriers<br />
and request activation. Once you have decided to go forward with activation, your<br />
INTTRA Sales Director will provide a copy of INTTRA’s common B/L Agreement.<br />
2. Legal Review: Bills of Lading are legal documents. All customers are required to<br />
sign one, standard B/L Agreement accepted by all participating carriers. INTTRA has<br />
arranged with carrier legal departments and the International P&I Clubs to streamline<br />
the legal process – there is no need for customers to sign separate agreements with<br />
each participating carrier.<br />
3. Carrier Approval and Activation: Upon execution of the INTTRA B/L Agreement,<br />
INTTRA arranges approval and activation with your carriers.<br />
4. Go Live: INTTRA provides global support resources to answer your questions 24 X 7.<br />
We work closely with you and your carriers to train your users, test communications<br />
with your carriers and ensure the process is working efficiently.<br />
