17. Chamber of shipping container rules
In some countries, container ship routes, shipping associations in order to monopolize the container transport on their own routes, have respectively formulated the container transport rules used by suppliers. These rules are formulated by the respective associations for the routes within the scope of their operations. Therefore, the content of the rules of each guild is different, but the basic spirit is the same, that is, the responsibility of both sides of the ship and the cargo is the same. Rules generally include the following aspects:
Container loading and unloading port, centralized transportation;
Interpretation of specific terms for container transport;
The responsibility of both parties in various modes of transport and handover;
Booking procedures and cargo information declaration;
Various clauses including Bill of lading, approval clause, port clause and accident clause;
Issue bill of lading;
Equipment handover procedures, using free time and demurrage fees;
Delivery procedures;
Freight calculation method and payment;
Methods for calculating and collecting various expense items and provisions on changes in the rate;
Currency system, depreciation and appreciation provisions;
Inland transport regulations and charges.
18. Transition mode
In container transportation, there are several ways to transfer FCL and LCL goods between the ship and the cargo:
Door-to-door (doortodoor) : The shipper is responsible for loading the container, in its warehouse or factory warehouse to the carrier acceptance, responsible for the whole transportation until the consignee's warehouse or factory warehouse delivery of the box. This whole connection transportation is called "door to door" transportation;
doortocy: From the shipper's warehouse or factory warehouse to the container loading area yard at the destination or unloading port. ;
doortocfs: container freight stations from the shipper's warehouse or factory warehouse to the destination or port of discharge;
From the shipping place or the container loading area of the loading port to the consignee's warehouse or factory warehouse;
cytocy: From the container loading area yard at the place of origin or loading port to the container loading area yard at the destination or unloading port;
From the container loading area of the place of origin or loading port to the container freight station of the destination or unloading port;
Station todoor (cfstodoor) : from the container freight station at the starting point or loading port to the consignee's warehouse or factory warehouse;
Station to site (cfstocy) : from the container freight station at the place of origin or loading port to the container loading area yard at the destination or unloading port;
Station to station (cfstocfs) : from the container freight station at the origin or loading port to the container freight station at the destination or unloading port;
19. fullcontainerload
LCL is the relative term. Cargo packed, counted, stowed and sealed by consignor. The unpacking of FCL goods is generally handled by the consignee. However, it is also possible to entrust the carrier to unpack the container at the freight station. However, the carrier is not responsible for the damage or lack of goods in the case. The carrier shall be liable for compensation unless the cargo proves that the damage was caused by an accident at the carrier's responsibility. The carrier shall take the container as the delivery unit for the full container of cargo. As long as the container is similar in appearance and the lead seal is intact, the carrier has fulfilled the responsibility of carriage. On the FCL bill of lading, the clause "Client pack, count and seal" should be added.
20. lessthancontainerload
FCL (full container load) is the relative term for a small bill of goods that cannot be packed into a full container. Such goods are usually collected by the carrier respectively and concentrated in the container freight station or inland station, and then two or more tickets of goods are assembled in a container, and the same should be unpacked and delivered respectively at the destination container freight station or inland station. For such goods, the carrier must bear the packing and unpacking operations, and the packing and unpacking costs are still charged to the cargo. The carrier's responsibility for LCL is essentially the same as for conventional general cargo transport.
21. numberofslots
Total container ship can record the number of containers. Each full container ship is expressed in 20-foot units in terms of container capacity.
22.slots
In the container yard, according to the corresponding scale of the container is drawn to indicate the grid position of stacking containers. The slots are numbered to facilitate shipment.
23. Row number
Horizontal stowage position of containers on dedicated ships. Numbering method, from bow to stern and thus marked: 01,02,03...... .
24. Row Number
Also known as the column number, the vertical stowage position of the container on a special ship. There are two labeling methods: one is from the port end to the right and thus marked: 01,02... The other is from the center of the left and right subscale. The port number is numbered from the center line to the left: 01,03,05...... , center line to starboard double number: 02,04,06...... .
25. tiernumber
The vertical volumetric load position of a container on a dedicated vessel. The numbering method is divided into two types: deck and warehouse. Deck numbers are numbered from top to bottom, with a "D" before the number. The number of the cabin is numbered from top to bottom with an "H" before the number.
26. slotnumber
The stowage position of the container on the ship. It consists of six numbers, the first two numbers are the row number, the middle two numbers are the row number, and the last two numbers are the layer number. For example, box 0402D1 means that the container is stowed on the first floor of deck, second row, starboard side, row 4.
27.Container stowage Plan (pre-stowageplan)
Planning drawing of container ship packing. The loading area is packed. The stowage plan is prepared by the ocean shipping agency according to the booking list, packing schedule and stowage plan of the storage yard. After obtaining the consent of the ship, the ship shall be loaded. If there are already containers on board, the relevant information should be telegraphed to the ship for stowage. The stowage plan is composed of the cross sections of each row and each column of container ships. When stowage, the following requirements must be met:
Ensure the strength of the ship's profile and the stability of the ship;
Maintain the ideal draft difference, so that the ship can achieve the best sailing performance, that is, with good maneuverability and speediness;
Optimum use of the ship's carrying capacity and capacity;
To ensure the integrity of the container in the hold and the safety on deck;
To consider the ease of loading and unloading operations;
When loading and unloading at multiple ports, care must be taken not to cause the following loading and unloading at the port.
