COPARN, showing detailed reefer infos

When releasing an empty reefer container by COPARN, it's very useful to include some extra infos about:
  • Humidity setting;
  • Ventilation setting;
  • Transport temperature.
These infos can be mapped in:
  • EQD.MEA segment level group;
  • EQD.TMP segment level group.
Let's make a sample:

...
FTX+AAA+++KIWI'
EQD+CN++45R1:102:5+2+2+4'
RFF+BN:REFERENCE-ID'
EQN+2'
TMD+2++1'
LOC+98+ITSAL:139:6'
LOC+11+ITGIT:139:6'
LOC+8+TWKEL:139:6'
MEA+AAE+G+KGM:23000'
MEA+AAE+T+KGM:4840'
MEA+AAE+AAS+MTQ:20'
MEA+AAE+AAO+PCT:90'
TMP+2+000:CEL'
...

You can find:
  • Humidity and Air Flow details in MEA segment level as c502, c174;
  • Temperature setting in TMP segment level as c239.

  1. How can I describe the vcg of a container in a baplie file?

  2. Hi;

    Your post is really interesting but I have two questions:

    1. does VCG stands for Vertical Center of Gravity ?
    2. since BAPLIE file is used mainly to transmit infos about all occupied places onboard of a vessel, why do you need to report the VCG of each container ?

    Looking forward to hear you back !

  3. We import baplie file in vessel software and except from the occupy position we need the vertical center of gravity of each container.
    Is there a solution?

  4. Hi;

    I checked and found out that there is the chance to store the Specific Gravity of each container at H.LOC.MEA segment level.

    I have written a small sample for you:

    (...)
    LOC+147+0040482::5
    MEA+WT++KGM:21700
    MEA+SGP+....'
    LOC+9+ESTAR
    LOC+11+ITSAL
    (...)

    SGP stands for: Container Specific Gravity.

    I did not complete the segment since I don't know which kind of infos to encode :)

    Let me know if it works for you !

  5. I check at this United Nation site:
    http://www.unece.org/trade/untdid/d09b/trsd/trsdmea.htm
    but I did not find SGP. Can you give me a reference to find this information?
    I want to describe i.e. that an 8.5 feet container has vertical center of gravity at 45% of its height or 3.825 feet from its bottom. How can I describe this?

  6. Hi;

    Since this topic is in the wrong place (post is dedicated to Reefer infos into COPARN message) I have moved the discussion on the forum.

    Please check my reply at: http://gekseppe.blogspot.com/p/my-edi-notes-forum.html

    Thanks !
