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).

Partner Ports

Acknowledgment email

An acknowledgment email is sent to the COPRAR sender. The email will contain an exceptions summary.

For example:

(blue star) If the Vessel is not found when the file is processed, the email context will not show reconciliation results. Instead an error message is displayed acknowledging receipt of the file, but reconciliation is not available until the TOS data feed contains the vessel.


NIL Reconciliation Users

Some line operators are flagged as a Nil Reconciliation operator. Nil Reconciliation operators do not send load lists but have access to view the dashboard.

(blue star) The Reconciliation section for a Nil Reconciliation operator does not show Mismatches but only Stops.


Port View:

The Port can see all Line Operators associated to a vessel. Line operators with the document symbol indicate nil reconciliation (they don’t send load lists).


FAQS

When will I see an update?

The dashboard reconciliation results are updated when:

  1. A new Load List is received.

  2. Port system data refresh is received (i.e., every 10 minutes).

What format files can be uploaded?

CSV or Excel are supported.

Why are there so many mismatches?

Container mismatch indicates the number of fields that are mismatched in the exceptions report rather than the number of containers.
