Use of DGS segment within EQD group (ITIGG recommendation JM4/273)

Some other remarks about IMDG infos and DGS segment.

Function of the segment: The DGS segment at this level is used to specify any dangerous goods details for the transport equipment identified in the precedent EQD segment.

Segment usage: The use of the DGS segment within this group is dependant. If the cargo within the transport equipment has hazardous characteristics then its use is required otherwise is not used. At this level the segment can also be used to identify any hazardous cargo residues which may remain in the container after unpacking.

Sample: DGS+IMD+8:135+1733+140:CEL+2'

COPRAR discharge with IMDG infos

Here below you can find a new COPRAR discharge sample where I have added infos about Dangerous Goods; you can note several new segments about:

• Container Operator's reference number to be used for DG reference number according to DG reference number in stowage instructions (EQD.RFF with c506.1153 = 'CV');
• Hazard Code infos (DGS segment);
• Dangerous Goods Technical Name (EQD.FTX with 4451 = 'AAD').

COPRAR, discharge

Purpose of the message: discharge COPRAR is used to transmit an order to discharge container(s) from a seagoing vessel;
Parties involved: Shipping Line sends the message to the Terminal Operator which handles the vessel.

In addition to container(s) to be discharged, message can also transmit infos about:

• Container(s) to be shifted on board the vessel;
• Container(s) to be discharged and reloaded onto vessel.

Here below a sample based on ITIGG user manual vers. ITG12.

BAPLIE for rail

In North Europe BAPLIE is also used to transmit, to the Rail Terminal Operator, infos about all railway wagons in a train.

Here below you can find a message sample based on SMDG's MIG (Version 0.1): that's a DRAFT version (still to be discussed) but, in my opinion, it's the right way to start !

Some comments about 'Stowage Cell':

• C517.3225: That's the first wagon in the train after the locomotive (01);
• C519.3223: That's the wagon numer as painted on the wagon (218333585907);
• C553.3233: On the wagon each 20FT slot has a number (01, 02...). In the sample container is allocated in the first slot (close to the locomotive).

BAPLIE: further comments

In the previous BAPLIE sample there is the following Stowage Instruction:

• Container: GEKS1504090 (LOC.EQD segment as c237.8260);
• Stowage Position: 0010112 (LOC.LOC segment as c517.3225);
• Main-Carrige Transport: Vessel SALERNO PRIDE (TDT.TDT segment);
• Loading Port: Cagliari (LOC.LOC segment as c517.3225);
• Discharging Port: Salerno (LOC.LOC segment as c517.3225).

There are also other interesting infos into the file and I would suggest to use the BAPLIE Viewer in order to retrieve them.

BAPLIE is also used to give infos about Breakbulk cargo loaded onto vessels; let's have a look at the next sample to understand the way it works:

I have added a couple of extra infos in order to deal properly the Breakbulk:

• Element 8053 on LOC.EQD segment now is BB (Breakbulk);
• On LOC.DIM segment there are off-standard Breakbulk dimensions; in detail:
  890 cm over-length, 250 cm over-width and 220 cm over-height.
