(a) This Agreement shall govern the loading and discharging of Carrier’s Vessels and the receiving and delivery of Containers and Cargo, and such other services as may be required by Carrier in connection with same.

 

(b) For any Cargo transported on a Vessel that needs to call a terminal located in the respective territories listed in Exhibit A (each a “Terminal Territory”), Carrier shall guarantee to Contractor to move such Cargo through a Terminal located in a Terminal Territory. Such Cargo described above shall be considered “Guaranteed Cargo”. If Carrier’s business that formerly constituted Cargo transported on a Vessel is no longer being transported on a Vessel but is instead being transported on a vessel owned or chartered (on a bareboat, time, voyage, slot, vessel sharing or space basis) by an entity that directly or indirectly (through either one transaction or a series of transactions) acquires an interest in Carrier, its assets or contract rights, Carrier shall remain liable for the failure of such Cargo that needs to be handled in a Terminal Territory to be guaranteed and offered to Contractor as provided above, as if such Cargo constitutes Guaranteed Cargo. Carrier agrees that Contractor shall have the exclusive right to provide the Carrier the Terminal Services or Stevedoring Services described in Sections 4 and 5 herein (the “Services”) in respect to the Guaranteed Cargo. If Guaranteed Cargo is not offered to Contractor, Carrier shall be liable to Contractor for liquidated damages equal to *** per Container of Guaranteed Cargo not offered to Contractor in addition to the other remedies provided herein including further damages. Contractor may accept or reject Guaranteed Cargo in its sole discretion by providing Carrier with a written response within fifteen (15) calendar days after Carrier provides Contractor written notice that Guaranteed Cargo needs to be transported to the Terminal Territory; provided however, that containerized municipal waste transported by Carrier pursuant to a joint venture, charter or transportation service contract shall not constitute Guaranteed Cargo.

(i) If any portion of Guaranteed Cargo is transported on a Vessel which is moving pursuant to Carrier’s Jones Act Business or Mixed Jones Act Business and Contractor accepts the Guaranteed Cargo offered, Contractor shall provide Carrier the Services at the rates described in the Appendices to this Agreement and Carrier must exclusively use the relevant Terminal for such Guaranteed Cargo even if only a portion of the relevant Vessel is carrying such Guaranteed Cargo.

 

(ii) If Guaranteed Cargo is moving pursuant to any current or future business of Carrier other than Carrier’s Jones Act Business or Mixed Jones Act Business and Contractor accepts such Guaranteed Cargo, the parties shall negotiate higher rates for the Services than provided in the Appendices herein. If the parties cannot mutually agree to such higher rates within fifteen (15) days after Carrier has provided Contractor notice of such Guaranteed Cargo (“Notice of International Cargo”), either party may request that an independent consultant experienced in international container shipping and terminal services in the Terminal Territory propose a rate based on the market value for similar services being offered within close proximity to the relevant Terminal for Cargo and volumes equivalent to those offered by Carrier. The parties shall agree to such independent consultant within thirty (30) days after Contractor receives the Notice of International Cargo. If parties can not agree to an independent consultant within the thirty (30) days described above, then by default the parties will use an independent national accounting firm as an independent consultant. If the parties are unable to agree on an international accounting firm, then each party will promptly select one such firm and these two firms shall promptly select a third such firm to be the independent consultant. The independent consultant shall propose a rate within sixty (60) days of the Contractor receiving the Notice of International Cargo. If such independent consultant proposes a rate which is higher than the last rate proposed by Carrier, then Carrier shall be bound to accept that rate and Contractor shall pay the reasonable fees of the independent consultant. If the independent consultant proposes a rate that is lower than the last rate proposed by the Contractor, Contractor may reject the rate and Carrier shall pay the reasonable fees of the independent consultant. If Contractor rejects this rate, Carrier may move such Guaranteed Cargo through other terminals located in the Terminal Territories that are not operated by Contractor or its affiliates; provided that if a Vessel is also carrying Guaranteed Cargo moved pursuant to Carrier’s Jones Act Business or Mixed Jones Act Business and Contractor has accepted such Guaranteed Cargo, such Vessel must discharge/load such Cargo moved pursuant to Carrier’s Jones Act Business or Mixed Jones Act Business at the relevant Terminal.

 

(c) If Contractor intends to offer a terminal berth window to another ocean carrier engaged solely in the Jones Act Business or the Mixed Jones Act Business (other than any affiliate of Contractor), Contractor shall, subject to preserving the identity of such

carrier, notify Carrier in writing of such berth window. If Carrier notifies Contractor in writing within five business days that it will take that berth window, then Contractor shall offer such berth window to Carrier. If Carrier does not provide such notice in writing within five business days, Contractor may offer such berth window to the other carrier.

 

(d) If Contractor intends to offer the Tuesday, second shift berth window at Pier 400, Port of Los Angeles to any ocean carrier (other than affiliate of Contractor), Contractor shall, subject to preserving the identity of such carrier, notify Carrier in writing of such availability. If Carrier notifies Contractor in writing within five business days that it will take that berth window, then Contractor shall offer such berth window to Carrier. If Carrier does not provide such notice in writing within five business days, Contractor may offer such berth window to the other carrier.

 

(e) Contactor acknowledges and agrees that if Contractor provides services similar to the services of a direct competitor of the Carrier whose primary business is the Jones Act Business at rates more favorable in the aggregate than those paid by Carrier, Contractor shall, subject to confidentiality of the identity of the competitor, (i) notify Carrier of the rates charged to such competitor and (ii) provide such rates to Carrier on a going-forward basis.

     Terminal Partner Information Exchange Agreement

 

Introduction

 

These guidelines have been developed to communicate the information exchange, both EDI and report requirements, and related operating procedures to support business processes between A.P.M. Terminals NAM and the terminal customers utilizing its terminals.

 

Responsible Parties

 

    Terminal Customer:

 

A shipping line that utilizes A.P.M. Terminals NAM services to support the liner’s equipment, vessel, and cargo handling operation.

 

    A.P.M. Terminals NAM:

 

28


North American affiliate of A.P.M. Terminals. A terminal operating company.

Systems

 

A.P.M. Terminals NAM

 

    Terminal Operating System:

 

    Express - the core operating system and database utilized to record information about terminal customers shipments.

 

    Spares - a graphical interface to Express used by the Stevedore to manage Vessel, Rail, and Yard activity. It can not be accessed by the client.

 

    EDI Processing System - A.I. Enterprise

 

Terminal Customer:

 

To better understand how data flows between A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM and it’s clients, we request each terminal customer discuss the below systems/processes and how they impact the supply of information within the data relationship.

 

•      Export Booking

•      Load List

•      Import Manifest

•      Import Release

•      Vessel Schedules

•      Equipment Management - Fleet File

•      Vessel Bay Plan

•      EDI Processing System

•      Hazardous Cargo

EDI Communications

 

    VAN

 

    FTP (file transfer process)

 

    Email/Email attachment

 

    Internet Email

 

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

 

EDI is the primary means to communicate information. The following lists principle messages used between terminal customer and A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM

 

We adhere and follow the recommended Implementation Guidelines as have been established by the ISA (Information Systems Agreement).

 

    Booking information Implementation    -    ANSI xl2 - 301 v. 4010, ISA
    Manifest information Implementation    -    ANSI xl2 - 310 v. 4010, ISA
    Release information Implementation    -    ANSI xl2 - 315 v. 4010, ISA
    Equipment moves Implementation    -    ANSI xl2 - 322 v. 4010, ISA
    Stow plan    -   

UN/EDIFACT BAPLIE, SMDG v.2

ANSI x12 - 324 v.4010, ISA

    Implementation          
    Hazardous Pre-Advise    -    UNEDIFACT COPARN, SMDG v.2
    Load List    -    UN/EDIFACT COPRAR, SMDG v.2
    Fleet File    -    As agreed upon Flat File format
    Vessel Schedule    -    UN/EDIFACT IFTSAI, SMDG v.2

 

For EDI to be effective, information needs to be delivered in a timely manner.

 

APMT – Horizon Lines

  1    


We require our terminal customers to deliver booking and import cargo releases within a half hour of capture within the terminal customer’s application. This will assist us in providing timely deliver of equipment at the gate.

 

We will deliver equipment moves within an hour of the equipment movement being recorded within Express.

 

We have a process for detecting and handling and a process for notifying the Line. To resolve errors, either EDI or content, the examples must be documented and shared.

 

For the 301, 310 and 315 messages, A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM has a Message Routing Facility (The Splitter). Therefore, a single mailbox address can be used by the terminal customer to interact with multiple terminal facilities. The splitter will direct messages to the appropriate facility based upon an agreed predefined standard between the terminal customer and A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM

 

For example, a terminal customer doing business with A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM terminals in Newark, Norfolk, and Charleston can send a 310 and 315 to a single address/mailbox. The Splitter will route the messages to the appropriate terminal based on predetermined location information included in the EDI message.

 

Booking Information - 301

 

The terminal customer will send a 301 to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM to enable able us to release empty equipment and receive full equipment for export.

 

We require our terminal customers to deliver booking and import cargo releases within a half hour of capture within the terminal customer’s application. This will assist us in providing timely deliver of equipment at the gate. Real time data exchange should be the established target.

 

The terminal customer must provide a tentative vessel schedule and accompanying updates in advance of sending any booking records.

 

We must receive a 301 when a booking is made or changed.

 

Specific attention should be discussed as to how the terminal customer and A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will handle new, rolled, split over two vessels, cancelled and reinstated bookings.

 

Each partner’s business and system process is to be detailed, described and documented.

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will return a 997 indicating receipt of the 301.

 

APMT – Horizon Lines

  2    


    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM has an error handling process for the 301 if the booking does not make it successfully into Express. This should be reviewed with the terminal customer.

 

    The line and terminal must outline how long on average a received 301 will take to post within Express once received.

 

    The terminal customer must describe their processing of rolled and split bookings.

 

    The terminal customer must describe their processing of revisions and cancellation.

 

    What triggers will be utilized to send a 301 to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM?

 

    Can the terminal customer determine the targeted terminal location that the message should be sent versus A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM having to determine it?

 

Import Manifest - 310

 

An Import Cargo Manifest will be communicated to the A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM using a 310 message. The cargo manifest will be presented to the terminal partner for any vessel that contains that terminal customer’s cargo, whether the vessel is operated by that terminal customer or another VSA partner. A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will utilize the manifest to build the profile on the inbound equipment and subsequently post releases.

 

We require our terminal customers to deliver the manifest at least 24 hours prior to vessel call and prior to any subsequent import cargo releases being sent for that vessel.

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will return a 997 indicating receipt of the 310.

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM has a process to post a Manifest. The terminal customer must advise how long in advance to vessel call will they be able to send the manifest.

 

    A.P.M TERMINALS NAM has an error correction process for the manifest when it does not post.

 

    What triggers will be utilized to send a 310 to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM?

 

    Can the terminal customer determine which messages must be sent to each location versus A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM having to determine it?

 

Import Release - 315

 

Once the Import Cargo Manifest has been sent to the A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM, the terminal customer will send Import Release messages.

 

The release can be conveyed by one of two methods:

 

    Equipment Number

 

The terminal customer determines when the equipment can move based upon receiving a prior release from US Customs (released at port, moving

 

APMT – Horizon Lines

  3    


in bond) and the terminal customers Line Release requirements have been satisfied. Simply a 315 message would be sent indicating either a container can “Go or can not Go” irregardless of the number of bills within the container.

 

    Bill of Lading

 

The terminal customer will have to send ALL appropriate release records via the 315 to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM Once both the Customs release and Line release have been satisfied for all bills within the container, the container will be allowed to exit the facility.

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM prefers to receive the import release by container as it reduces the number of messages being passed versus by bill of lading. This will reduce transmission cost between the two organizations.

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    The A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will return a 997 indicating receipt of the 315.

 

    Determination if the release will be sent by container or by bill of lading.

 

    Review of how long it takes to post a 315 to it’s internal application from the time it’s first recorded as released in the terminal customer’s application to once it’s received in Express.

 

    Review the error handling process for a 315 that does not post.

 

Equipment Events - 322

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will provide, via EDI, all appropriate equipment activities latest 1 hour after being recorded in Express.

 

All equipment, owned or operated, by the terminal customer can be reported. This includes sending EDI for the terminal customer’s owned equipment being operated by another shipping line.

 

All equipment, regardless of owner or operator, that is loaded, discharged or shifted on that terminal customer’s operated vessel will be reported to that terminal customer.

 

The terminal customer has the option to maintain their trucker’s trucking codes in Express. This tool will allow only truckers in “good standing” to pick-up equipment at A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM facilities.

 

All Terminal Partners providing Terminal Facilities will send equipment events using EDI message ANSI xl2 322 v.4010, ISA Implementation.

 

Records that can be reported:

 

    Gate Out, Empty, Bare Chassis, Import, Export

 

    Gate In, Empty, Bare Chassis, Import, Export

    Vessel Load

 

    Vessel Shift

 

    Vessel Discharge

 

    Update (to be reviewed and agreed upon with customer)

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    The terminal customer will return a 997 indicating receipt of the 322.

 

    Review and outline how long on average it takes them to generate a 322 once the transaction is captured in Express.

 

    The sequence of events will be reported chronologically.

 

Stow Plan

 

The terminal customer that operates the vessel will transmit an electronic bay plan, BAPLIE or 324, via EDI to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM 24 hours prior to vessel arrival at that facility. The BAPLIE will communicate stowage information for the vessel. The terminal will use this information in planning discharge, loading and yard operations associated with the vessel call. The Discharge, Shift and Load activity can be transmitted back to the terminal customer the 322 messages.

 

When vessel operations are complete A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM can generate and transmit a BAPLIE message back to the vessel operator. This BAPLIE will include the latest stowage information for the vessel following the completion of discharge, shift and load operations at that facility. The final stowage can be generated Two hours after vessel departure.

 

The BAPLIE or 324 file does not replace the need for a 310 manifest. An EDI Bay Plan will be required by the vessel operator and by each of the lines discharging cargo at that port. Example: If a vessel is arriving at a A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM facility and there are 4 different shipping lines carrying cargo on that vessel, A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM would expect to receive a BAPLIE or 324 file from the vessel operator indicating complete stowage of the vessel and a 310 manifest from each of the 4 shipping lines reflecting their respective cargo onboard this vessel.

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    The BAPLIE file can replace 322 for vessel activity.

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM and the terminal customer will return a 997 indicating receipt of the BAPLIE or 324 file received.

 

    The BAPLIE file submitted to the terminal does not replace the need for the equipment operator to send an import manifest unless the line is not sending import releases.

Container Hazardous Cargo Pre-Advise - COPARN

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM is interested in receiving information about hazardous shipments via EDI. Our goal is decrease trucker wait time at the gate, increase visibility on hazardous information about shipments prior to their entering the terminal and improve the information flow of hazardous information about shipments back to the line.

 

This can be accomplished in one of two ways.

 

  1. The line can send a pre-advise message (COPARN) to A.P.M. Terminals which will in effect contain all information regarding the shipment in terms of the hazardous commodity inside.

 

  2. The line can instruct shippers, truckers or the warehouse to fax the paperwork to A.P.M. Terminals prior to the truck arriving the terminal. This should be done 1 hour prior to arrival to ensure the driver is not delayed. A.P.M. Terminals NAM will then in turn image the document and systematically create a COPARN message that will be sent to our local terminal. The imaged document will be available on line via the web for the line. Documents can be retrieved via a multitude of ways inclusive for a whole vessel.

 

Paperwork will not be collected at the gate nor forwarded to the line. This process is now being rolled out.

 

Load List – COPRAR

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM is interested in receiving a Load List via EDI. No A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM terminal customers are yet able to provide this information electronically. Given ample notice, A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will move forward with this EDI process.

 

Until this time the terminal customer will submit the Load List via fax or email.

 

Equipment Fleet File

 

To provide our customer’s top notch service, it is suggested that the terminal customer present to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM the units and their attributes via electronic file format.

 

    A complete equipment inventory should be provided periodically. This includes container, chassis and gensets.

 

    A file should be presented daily that indicates changes that occurred in the terminal customer’s fleet file from the previous day.

 

For example:

 

    Equipment that was on-hired yesterday should be included in the daily file.

 

    Equipment that was operated by the terminal customer and now back in the possession of the true equipment owner.

 

APMT – Horizon Lines

  6    


A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will provide the specifications on the file format.

 

The terminal customer to outline any and all VSA sharing agreements inclusive of equipment sharing. The impact and expectations of the terminal customer must be FULLY outlined. For example: a terminal customer shares equipment with another line. These two lines have an agreement that they can or can not return equipment to each other at specific points.

 

Vessel Schedule - IFTSAI

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM is interested in receiving a vessel schedule via EDI. No A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM terminal customers are yet able to provide this information electronically. Given ample notice, A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will move forward with this EDI process.

 

Until this time the terminal customer will submit the vessel schedule via fax or email.

 

Confirmation - 997

 

The 997 is being returned upon receipt of an EDI message.

 

It should include if the EDI message was processed or not and what the errors were.

 

EDI format errors are those that prevent the EDI message and data from being processed by the A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM EDI Translation Applications. When an EDI message has errors in format or segment data requirements, the message suspends in the translation process. A suspended message has failed to meet the minimum format requirements established for that message type. A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM uses the ISA Committee standards for ANSI messages and UNEDIFACT, (ITIGG and SMDG) for EDIFACT message types.

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM EDI personnel will monitor suspended messages for both incoming and outgoing data. The EDI team will review any suspended messages. They will attempt to make corrections to format issues in an effort to pass the message successfully through the translator. Maersk Sealand personnel are responsible for reviewing all suspended messages, and providing feedback to EDI trading partners regarding translator and standards errors and inconsistencies.

    EDI Format Errors – Errors with EDI Standards, syntax, translation

 

EDI format errors are those that prevent the EDI message and data from being processed through the EDI Translation Application. This includes errors that do not adhere to EDI Standards, syntax issues and translation issues.

 

When an EDI message has errors in format or segment data requirements, the message suspends in the translation process.

 

We will indicate the error back to the partner within the 997. The partner should look into the process further to determine why the message error in the first place.

 

Our translator checks all outbound messages to our partners for syntax related issues prior to transmission.

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM uses the ISA Committee Implementation Guidelines for ANSI x l2 messages and UNEDIFACT, (ISA works with ITIGG and SMDG committees) message types.

 

Our EDI personnel monitor suspended messages for both incoming and outgoing data. The EDI team will review suspended messages. They will attempt to make corrections to format issues in an effort to pass the message successfully through the translator. We will provide feedback to the EDI trading partners regarding translator and standards errors and inconsistencies.

    Express EDI Errors -

 

Message can error within Express even if they pass the above mentioned syntax. This may be due to, for example:

 

    A booking message being sent without a previously defined vessel, voyage, port rotation within Express.

 

    An import release message being sent without a previously posted manifest.

 

At each terminal location we have a person that monitors their respective EDI queue for errors and corrects the issues.

 

Presentation and timeline to be reviewed and agreed to.

 

    Terminal customers are to provide equivalent procedures and notify A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM for their respective counter-parts for review of EDI errors

    Internet Email

 

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

 

EDI is the primary means to communicate information. The following lists principle messages used between terminal customer and A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM

 

We adhere and follow the recommended Implementation Guidelines as have been established by the ISA (Information Systems Agreement).

 

Booking information

Implementation

   -    ANSI xl2 - 301 v. 4010, ISA

Manifest information

Implementation

   -    ANSI xl2 - 310 v. 4010, ISA

Release information

Implementation

   -    ANSI xl2 - 315 v. 4010, ISA

Equipment moves

Implementation

   -    ANSI xl2 - 322 v. 4010, ISA
Stow plan    -    UN/EDIFACT BAPLIE, SMDG v.2 ANSI x12 - 324 v.4010, ISA
Implementation          
Hazardous Pre-Advise    -    UNEDIFACT COPARN, SMDG v.2
Load List    -    UN/EDIFACT COPRAR, SMDG v.2
Fleet File    -    As agreed upon Flat File format
Vessel Schedule    -    UN/EDIFACT IFTSAI, SMDG v.2

 

For EDI to be effective, information needs to be delivered in a timely manner.

 

APMT – Horizon Lines   1    


We require our terminal customers to deliver booking and import cargo releases within a half hour of capture within the terminal customer’s application. This will assist us in providing timely deliver of equipment at the gate.

 

We will deliver equipment moves within an hour of the equipment movement being recorded within Express.

 

We have a process for detecting and handling and a process for notifying the Line. To resolve errors, either EDI or content, the examples must be documented and shared.

 

For the 301, 310 and 315 messages, A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM has a Message Routing Facility (The Splitter). Therefore, a single mailbox address can be used by the terminal customer to interact with multiple terminal facilities. The splitter will direct messages to the appropriate facility based upon an agreed predefined standard between the terminal customer and A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM

 

For example, a terminal customer doing business with A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM terminals in Newark, Norfolk, and Charleston can send a 310 and 315 to a single address/mailbox. The Splitter will route the messages to the appropriate terminal based on predetermined location information included in the EDI message.

 

Booking Information - 301

 

The terminal customer will send a 301 to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM to enable able us to release empty equipment and receive full equipment for export.

 

We require our terminal customers to deliver booking and import cargo releases within a half hour of capture within the terminal customer’s application. This will assist us in providing timely deliver of equipment at the gate. Real time data exchange should be the established target.

 

The terminal customer must provide a tentative vessel schedule and accompanying updates in advance of sending any booking records.

 

We must receive a 301 when a booking is made or changed.

 

Specific attention should be discussed as to how the terminal customer and A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will handle new, rolled, split over two vessels, cancelled and reinstated bookings.

 

Each partner’s business and system process is to be detailed, described and documented.

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will return a 997 indicating receipt of the 301.

 

APMT – Horizon Lines   2    


    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM has an error handling process for the 301 if the booking does not make it successfully into Express. This should be reviewed with the terminal customer.

 

    The line and terminal must outline how long on average a received 301 will take to post within Express once received.

 

    The terminal customer must describe their processing of rolled and split bookings.

 

    The terminal customer must describe their processing of revisions and cancellation.

 

    What triggers will be utilized to send a 301 to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM?

 

    Can the terminal customer determine the targeted terminal location that the message should be sent versus A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM having to determine it?

 

Import Manifest - 310

 

An Import Cargo Manifest will be communicated to the A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM using a 310 message. The cargo manifest will be presented to the terminal partner for any vessel that contains that terminal customer’s cargo, whether the vessel is operated by that terminal customer or another VSA partner. A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will utilize the manifest to build the profile on the inbound equipment and subsequently post releases.

 

We require our terminal customers to deliver the manifest at least 24 hours prior to vessel call and prior to any subsequent import cargo releases being sent for that vessel.

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will return a 997 indicating receipt of the 310.

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM has a process to post a Manifest. The terminal customer must advise how long in advance to vessel call will they be able to send the manifest.

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM has an error correction process for the manifest when it does not post.

 

    What triggers will be utilized to send a 310 to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM?

 

    Can the terminal customer determine which messages must be sent to each location versus A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM having to determine it?

 

Import Release - 315

 

Once the Import Cargo Manifest has been sent to the A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM, the terminal customer will send Import Release messages.

 

The release can be conveyed by one of two methods:

 

    Equipment Number

 

The terminal customer determines when the equipment can move based upon receiving a prior release from US Customs (released at port, moving

 

APMT – Horizon Lines

  3    


in bond) and the terminal customers Line Release requirements have been satisfied. Simply a 315 message would be sent indicating either a container can “Go or can not Go” irregardless of the number of bills within the container.

 

    Bill of Lading

 

The terminal customer will have to send ALL appropriate release records via the 315 to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM Once both the Customs release and Line release have been satisfied for all bills within the container, the container will be allowed to exit the facility.

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM prefers to receive the import release by container as it reduces the number of messages being passed versus by bill of lading. This will reduce transmission cost between the two organizations.

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    The A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will return a 997 indicating receipt of the 315.

 

    Determination if the release will be sent by container or by bill of lading.

 

    Review of how long it takes to post a 315 to it’s internal application from the time it’s first recorded as released in the terminal customer’s application to once it’s received in Express.

 

    Review the error handling process for a 315 that does not post.

 

Equipment Events - 322

 

A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM will provide, via EDI, all appropriate equipment activities latest 1 hour after being recorded in Express.

 

All equipment, owned or operated, by the terminal customer can be reported. This includes sending EDI for the terminal customer’s owned equipment being operated by another shipping line.

 

All equipment, regardless of owner or operator, that is loaded, discharged or shifted on that terminal customer’s operated vessel will be reported to that terminal customer.

 

The terminal customer has the option to maintain their trucker’s trucking codes in Express. This tool will allow only truckers in “good standing” to pick-up equipment at A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM facilities.

 

All Terminal Partners providing Terminal Facilities will send equipment events using EDI message ANSI x12 322 v.4010, ISA Implementation.

    Gate Out, Empty, Bare Chassis, Import, Export

 

    Gate In, Empty, Bare Chassis, Import, Export

    Update (to be reviewed and agreed upon with customer)

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    The terminal customer will return a 997 indicating receipt of the 322.

 

    Review and outline how long on average it takes them to generate a 322 once the transaction is captured in Express.

 

    The sequence of events will be reported chronologically.

 

Stow Plan

 

The terminal customer that operates the vessel will transmit an electronic bay plan, BAPLIE or 324, via EDI to A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM 24 hours prior to vessel arrival at that facility. The BAPLIE will communicate stowage information for the vessel. The terminal will use this information in planning discharge, loading and yard operations associated with the vessel call. The Discharge, Shift and Load activity can be transmitted back to the terminal customer the 322 messages.

 

When vessel operations are complete A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM can generate and transmit a BAPLIE message back to the vessel operator. This BAPLIE will include the latest stowage information for the vessel following the completion of discharge, shift and load operations at that facility. The final stowage can be generated Two hours after vessel departure.

 

The BAPLIE or 324 file does not replace the need for a 310 manifest. An EDI Bay Plan will be required by the vessel operator and by each of the lines discharging cargo at that port. Example: If a vessel is arriving at a A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM facility and there are 4 different shipping lines carrying cargo on that vessel, A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM would expect to receive a BAPLIE or 324 file from the vessel operator indicating complete stowage of the vessel and a 310 manifest from each of the 4 shipping lines reflecting their respective cargo onboard this vessel.

 

Areas for Discussion:

 

    The BAPLIE file can replace 322 for vessel activity.

 

    A.P.M. TERMINALS NAM and the terminal customer will return a 997 indicating receipt of the BAPLIE or 324 file received.

 

    The BAPLIE file submitted to the terminal does not replace the need for the equipment operator to send an import manifest unless the line is not sending import releases.
