Arrival information
A planning file should bring together the vessel particulars, cargo description, expected arrival window, nominated receiver and proposed discharge destination. Changes to vessel or cargo information should be recorded so that every participant works from the same version.
Interface review
The operator would need to establish berth suitability, unloading connections and the relationship between the ship, shore equipment and receiving storage. This concept does not provide berth dimensions, transfer limits or confirmation that a vessel is accepted.
Receipt records
A proposed record set includes the agreed cargo reference, receipt times, transfer records, independent measurement documents where applicable and the party responsible for accepting the final receipt statement.
