UI Navigation: Administration > EDI > Message Types

This specification provides the Container Announcement Instructions Message (COPARN) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), which is sent by the shipping agent to the container terminal, operator, or depot.

• This message is the order for the release of empty containers and the announcement of the delivery of full or empty containers to the terminal.

• When it concerns a release of containers, the shipping agent reports to the terminal operator that one or more containers will be collected on a later date.

• In case of an announcement, the shipping agent announces to the terminal operator that full or empty containers will be brought to the terminal whether or not with the intention to be exported.

The following sections of this document explain how COPARN message is handled in N4 and scope of its implementation.
In a terminal, COPARN EDI is received from the shipping agent. The Implementation or posting is done based on the message function specified in the COPARN EDI message
