COPINO, container status

During the 51st SMDG Meeting at La Spezia it was discussed to use the COPINO to retrieve the container status at the terminal. Here is related scenario: 
  1. Rail Operator sends pick-up notification to the terminal before container is discharged from a vessel;
  2. Terminal Operator replies with acknowledgement message: container unknown / not in terminal;
  3. Line Operator sends discharge COPRAR to terminal: since now to go on equipment is known; 
  4. Line Operator sends COREOR to terminal: since now to go on equipment can be released;
  5. Rail Operator sends pick-up notification to the terminal before container is discharged;  COPINO is processed: container is known but not yet at the terminal;
  6. Terminal Operator discharges container;
  7. Rail Operator sends pick-up notification to the terminal: COPINO is accepted without any errors.
If you want to gather more infos, check here under the directory Meetings -> Minutes Archive: there is a very interesting presentation by ECT terminal.
