2.1   Clarification regarding the use of the CNI and GID segments

Segment Group Segment Composite data element (C) Data element TAG Level Status Format Name Description Qualifiers in quotation marks
CNI GID (1..99) 2 M GOODS ITEM DETAILS per vessel and per good a new GID segment
1496 M n..5 Goods item number Sequence number of the good within a consignment. Unique within the CNI group

Clarification:

  • — Each item shall be separately identified by means of the line (goods) item number and particulars.
  • — Goods item number: The sequence number of the good within a consignment. This means, if a consignment consists of several goods items, all the goods items shall be represented as unique goods items (GID). If the consignment only consists of one line (goods) item, the shipper (cargo sender) shall represent this in one line. It is important that commercial information remains unchanged in the respective messages and does not disappear.
  • — The division of an ERINOT message can be explained as follows:
  • — A means of transport may contain in its cargo one or more consignments. Each consignment may contain one or more goods items, each with its own particulars. Consignments, including the goods within this respective consignment, may be divided over one or more vessels (e.g. in a convoy in one voyage).
  • — Each container in itself is represented in the ERINOT message as separate consignment information group; as a result, the number of consignments will increase with each container.

2.2.   Dummy segments

In some cases, amongst others in the passage message ERINOT(PAS), ‘dummy’ segments shall be used as part of mandatory groups of segments. For these ‘dummy’ segments the following rules apply:

CNI group:

  • — CNI: sequence number: ‘9999’

CNI/GID group:

  • — GID: sequence number: ‘99999’

CNI/GID/DGS group:

  • — DGS:
  • — Class type: ‘IMD’
  • — Classification: ‘0.0’
  • — UNDG number: ‘0000’
  • — FTX AAD: good name: ‘DUMMY’
  • — MEA: weight: 0

2.3.   Empty vessels

If an empty vessel is reported, the following rules apply for the mandatory segment groups:

    1. Empty of non-dangerous goods or unknown previous cargo:

CNI group:

  • — CNI: sequence number: ‘9999’

CNI/GID group:

  • — GID: sequence number: ‘99999’

CNI/GID/DGS group:

  • — DGS:
  • — Class type: ‘IMD’
  • — Classification: ‘0.0’
  • — UNDG number: ‘0000’
  • — FTX AAD: good name: ‘DUMMY’
  • — MEA: weight: 0
    1. Empty of dangerous goods (in the case previous dangerous cargo were reported):

CNI group:

  • — CNI: valid sequence number
  • — LOC: source and destination (current voyage)

CNI/GID group:

  • — GID: valid sequence number
  • — FTX ACB: type of good: ‘D’, HS code of (previous) dangerous good

CNI/GID/DGS group:

  • — DGS: dangerous goods details (previous cargo)
  • — FTX AAD: dangerous good name
  • — MEA: weight: 0
  • — SGP: details of the empty vessel
  • — MEA: weight: 0

2.4.   Container transport with non-dangerous goods

If containers are transported, the following extra rules apply for the mandatory groups if a container does not carry dangerous goods:

CNI group:

  • — CNI: valid sequence number
  • — LOC: source and destination

CNI/GID group:

  • — GID: valid sequence number
  • — FTX ACB: type of good: ‘N’, HS code of the good
  • — FTX AAA, good name, NST code of the good, HS code of the good
  • — SGP: details of the vessel
  • — MEA: total weight of the non-dangerous good in the vessel

CNI/GID/DGS group:

  • — DGS:
  • — Class type: ‘IMD’
  • — Classification: ‘0.0’
  • — UNDG number: ‘0000’
  • — FTX AAD: good name: ‘DUMMY’
  • — MEA: weight: 0
  • — SGP group (1):
  • — SGP: vessel details
  • — MEA: weight of the good in the vessel
  • — SGP group (2-99):
  • — SGP: Container number
  • — MEA: weight of the good in the container

This way of entering data for a container loaded with non-dangerous goods follows the way the data for a container with dangerous goods are entered. Due to compatibility reasons with previous versions, the vessel details are entered twice.

2.5.   Stowage encoding for 30' and 45'containers

If for a 30'container the front of the container falls between two 20' slots, the highest bay number is used for the encoding of the 30' container.

The 45' container is used in similar manner as a 40' container (even bay slot number). The container type will be used to uniquely determine that the slot contains a 45' container.

2.6.   Containers with unknown details on the goods or empty containers

If containers are transported where the details of the goods in the containers are not known, or empty containers are transported, the following extra rules apply:

EQD group:

EQD: container range

MEA: number of containers in the given range

CNI group:

CNI: valid sequence number

LOC: source and destination

CNI/GID group:

GID: valid sequence number

FTX ACB: type of good: ‘N’, HS code

FTX AAA: good name, NST code, HS code

SGP: details of the vessel

MEA: total weight of the containers in the given range

CNI/GID/DGS group:

dummy group

Depending on the range of containers the following codes shall be used:

HS code
Containers 20 ft empty 8609000002
Containers 30 ft empty 8609000004
Containers 40 ft empty 8609000003
Containers 20 ft loaded 8609000007
Containers 30 ft loaded 8609000008
Containers 40 ft loaded 8609000009

2.7.   Exchanging information between RIS authorities

When exchanging information between RIS authorities, a passage message type shall be used by specifying ‘PAS’ in the BGM segment (element 1001).

In this PAS message the following information regarding the voyage shall be included:

  • — BGM element 1001 = ‘PAS’.
  • — TDT group:
  • — LOC(1), type ‘5’ = Place of departure.
  • — LOC(2), type ‘172’ = Passage point.
  • — LOC(9), type ‘153’ = Place of destination (first port where transport is bound).
  • — DTM(2), type ‘186’ = Passage time of LOC(2).
  • — DTM(3), type ‘132’ = ETA of LOC(9) only if available.
  • — CNI groups with all the (known) cargo onboard.

The CNI group may be empty only if it is a passage message notifying another (local) party of the last position/passage point of that vessel.

2.8.   Cancelling a notification or notifying an interruption/a restart of a voyage

When cancelling a notification or when notifiying an interruption/a restart of a voyage, the following information shall be specified:

  • — BGM element 1225 = ‘1’ or ‘150’ or ‘151’ (according to message function).
  • — RFF(ACW) element 1154 refers to the last message sent.
  • — All other segments (TDT, CNI, etc.) contain the same information as specified in the last notification message sent.

UN/CEFACT Recommendation No 33, Recommendation and Guidelines on establishing a Single Window

Appendix 2

Passenger and crew list — (PAXLST)

1. UN/EDIFACT STANDARD MESSAGE PAXLST

The passenger respectively crew list notification is based on the UN/EDIFACT message PAXLST.

1.1.   Functional definition

The passenger/crew list message (PAXLST) permits the transfer of passenger or crew data, or both. The message shall be used for the exchange of data in inland navigation between the captain/skipper or carrier and designated authorities such as ISPS terminals, customs, immigration, police.

The message shall be also used to transfer passenger/crew data from a designated authority in the country of departure to the appropriate authorities in the country of arrival of the means of transport.

1.2.   Field of application

The passenger list message can be used for both national and international applications. It is based on general practice in administration, commerce and transport, and it is not dependent on the type of business or industry, neither on the mode of transport. The basic concept of the PAXLST message is that there is one message for all crew members for a specified ship on a specified voyage, and another message for the passengers on that voyage whilst also possible stowaways can be reported through a separate message. The messages can be transmitted separately or combined into one transmission.

The message supports the implementation — by means of EDI — of the following reporting needs:

ERINOT response and receipt message (APERAK) — ERIRSP

1. APERAK GENERAL RESPONSE AND RECEIPT MESSAGE

This message shall be used to provide where required answering and response functions to sent messages.

The function of this message is:

  • (a) to inform a message issuer that his message has been received by the addressee’s application and has been rejected due to errors encountered during its processing in the application;
  • (b) to acknowledge to a message issuer the receipt of his message by the addressee’s application.

1.1.   Field of application

The application error and acknowledgement message can be used for both national and international applications. It is not dependent on the type of business or industry, neither it is a legal requirement: it is based on business practices related to administration and transport.

1.2.   Principles

A message can first be controlled at system level (e.g. the CONTRL message) to detect syntax errors and to acknowledge its receipt. It shall be then transmitted to the application process to be processed.

When an acknowledgement is necessary an APERAK message shall be sent specifying the reasons of acknowledgement. If an error is detected at the application level, which prevents its complete processing, an APERAK message shall be sent to the original message issuer providing details of the error(s) encountered. In case of application error, the APERAK message shall be transmitted manually.

In case of acknowledgement the APERAK message shall be processed automatically or manually, at recipient’s discretion.

2. ERI RESPONSE MESSAGE ERIRSP

The ERIRSP message is derived from the UN/EDIFACT APERAK message. The response messages to the functions (new, modification or cancellation) of the notification message ERINOT have all the same structure. The response to a ‘modification’ or a ‘cancellation’ contains information whether or not the ‘modification’ or ‘cancellation’ has been processed by the receiving system. A response is required only if the NAD (1)/COM segment, with qualifier ‘EI’, contains the mailbox number, or with qualifier ‘EM’, contains the email address where the response is to be returned to.
