Container Reconciliation Summary

Container reconciliation is a tool designed to provide self-service access to container information to enable shipping lines to investigate and correct discrepancies between their vessel load information and the ports load information. The comparison and reconciliation results are based on a load list from the shipping lines (load list - COPRAR) and the container information managed by the Port (in their terminal management system).
