Operations :

Shipper requests a rate to a certain destination from the shipping line that offers a service
to that destination..

The shipping line provides the rate to the shipper..

Once the rate has been accepted by the shipper, he requests the shipping line to make a
booking to that destination..

The shipping line provides a booking reference which in general cases is also the
reference for the release of the empty container for the packing..

Based on the stack dates nomianted for the ship, the shippers nominated transporter goes
to the empty depot to pick up the empty container..

The empty container is taken to the shippers warehouse for packing.. Once the cargo is
packed, the full container is taken to the port/terminal within the stack period..

If the for any reason the container cannot be brought into the port/terminal within the
stack period, at the discretion of the shipping line or port/terminal a LATE ARRIVAL
request may be processed for upto 24 hrs after the original stack period is closed..

The container then waits at the port/terminal for it to be loaded on the nominated ship..
