Container terminal

In container transportation, the specific handling department is responsible for the loading, unloading, exchange and storage of boxes or cargo. It authorizes the carrier or its agent to carry out the following businesses:

(1) Exchange and storage of full container shipments.

(2) Those with container freight stations will handle the handover of LCL cargo.

(3) Arrange the berthing of container ships, load and unload containers, and prepare stowage plans for each voyage.

(4) Handle the compilation and signature of relevant shipping documents.

(5) Prepare and sign documents related to the entry, exit and circulation of container vehicles.

(6) Handle the condition inspection and maintenance of containers, carriers, loading and unloading tools, as well as cleaning and fumigation of empty containers.

(7) Sending, receiving, storing and keeping of empty containers.

(8) Arrange the stacking of empty and heavy boxes in the yard and prepare a site allocation plan.

(9) Other related business work. The container loading and unloading area generally consists of a dedicated terminal, front, yard, freight station, control tower, repair department, gate and office. Sometimes storage yards or freight stations can be extended to transfer stations 5 to 15 kilometers into the city.

Container marshalling yard

In front of the container terminal, in order to speed up ship loading and unloading operations, containers are temporarily stacked. Its function is: before the container ship arrives at the port, the export containers are neatly stacked in a planned and orderly manner according to the stowage requirements. When unloading the ship, the import containers are temporarily stacked in front of the dock to speed up the ship loading and unloading operations.

Container yard

A place where heavy or empty containers are handed over, kept and stored. In some countries, container yards are not divided into front yards or rear yards, and are collectively referred to as yards. The container rear yard is an integral part of the container loading and unloading area. It is the place where the full container cargo is handed over in the "site-to-site" handover method of container transportation (actually the handover is carried out at the "gate" of the container unloading area).

Empty container yard (van pool)

A venue dedicated to the collection, storage, storage or handover of empty containers. It is specially set up when there is insufficient container loading and unloading area or transfer station yard. This kind of yard does not handle the handover of heavy boxes or goods. It can be operated independently, or it can be set up outside the area by the container loading and unloading area. Some capitalist countries that operate such empty container yards must declare to the shipping association.

Container freight station

It is a place where the ship and cargo parties handle the handover for packing and unpacking of LCL goods. A carrier can only entrust one container freight station operator in a port or inland city. It handles the following main businesses on behalf of the carrier:

(1) Tallying and handing over LCL goods.

(2) If there is any abnormality in the appearance of the goods, make a note.

(3) Container stowage and packing of LCL goods.

(4) Unpacking and storage of imported unpacked goods.

(5) Add a lead seal and issue a station receipt on behalf of the carrier.

(6) Handle various documents and preparations, etc.

shipper's liabilities

The shipper's responsibilities in container transportation. This responsibility is different from traditional shipping. The responsibilities of the LCL shipper are the same as for traditional ocean shipping. The responsibilities of the FCL shipper are different from those for traditional transportation:

(1) The accuracy and completeness of the freight information reported should be ensured.

(2) The carrier has the right to check the goods contained in the box, and the costs incurred due to the verification shall be borne by the shipper.

(3) The cost of unpacking and inspection by customs or other authorities and any resulting damage or loss shall be borne by the shipper.

(4) If the container is not full, or has poor padding, improper stowage, or contains goods that are not suitable for container transportation, resulting in cargo damage or cargo difference, the shipper will be responsible.

(5) If an unseaworthy container owned by the shipper is used, the shipper shall be responsible for any cargo damage accident caused.

(6) The shipper shall be responsible for compensation for any damage to a third party's property or life caused during the use of the carrier's containers and equipment.

limits of liability

The maximum amount of compensation the carrier should bear if cargo damage occurs during container transportation. Limitations of liability for LCL shipments are the same as for traditional shipping. Compensation for full container goods is based on some current international cases. If the number of pieces of goods contained in the box is not listed on the bill of lading, each box will be regarded as a claim calculation unit. If the bill of lading lists the number of pieces of goods in the box, the calculation will still be based on the number of pieces. If the damage or loss of the goods occurs during inland transportation instead of maritime transportation, the maximum compensation amount for land transportation will be applied. If the container is owned or provided by the shipper, and if it is lost or damaged, the responsibility is indeed borne by the carrier, and it should also be regarded as a claim calculation unit.
