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'

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.
  

COPARN, showing shipper infos

In some circumstances, Carrier/Liner Agent can use the empty release COPARN to arrange transport with Trucking Company.

Since now COPARN is also sent to Trucking Company, it's very useful to add some extra infos about the place where to collect the goods.

Let's use the NAD segment, at NAD segment group level, in order to state:

• Sender Shipper code (C082.3039);
• Sender Shipper description (C058.3124) ;
• Shipper address (C058.3124) ;
• Shipper telephone number (C058.3124) .

COPARN

Formal Definition: The message contains an order to release, to make available, to accept, to call down containers or to announce the impending arrival of containers.

Some samples of message usage:

• Requesting or authorising acceptance of an empty container;
• Requesting or authorising acceptance of a full container;
• Releasing an empty container for packing;
  
• Requesting or authorising an on/off hire transaction.

In any case, COPARN message will be 'answered' by a CODECO message confirming that the equipment movement or status change has been taken place.

Here below a very basic COPARN sample used to release an empty container expected to be loaded on vessel:

COPRAR, loading empty container(s) based on type

Here below you can find a sample of a COPRAR used to load 5 empty containers with the same characteristics (i.e. 20/DV/8'6). Note the usage of EQN segment (Nr. of units) in EQD segment group.

Replacing the previous COPRAR

Let's suppose that something in the previous COPRAR sample has to be amended (i.e. the reefer temperature set point). Here below the updated COPRAR:

The following requirements are needed:

• 1225=5 (Replace previous message) on H.BGM;
• c506.1153=ACW on H.RFF;
• c506.1154 = Document message number of the previous message to replace (BGM 1004) on H.RFF.

COPRAR: adding a stowage instruction
