Description

Bill of Lading data is used by DBT to monitor container trade to and from the UK. DBT have been receiving Bill of Lading data for exports from the UK (where a container leaves from a UK port) and imports to the UK (where the container lands at a UK port or the container lands at a foreign port but with a final destination of the UK) since 2021. The Data DBT requires includes: a. Container events including port departure time and port arrival time. b. Information on which ship the good was transported on. This must include International Maritime Organization (‘IMO’ number’) and vessel name. c. Carrier, shipper, forwarder, and container details. These details are required to identify the movements of the specific cargo containers that goods are shipped in. We also require the address data for the carrier, shipper and forwarder. d. Port of load, port of destination, place of receipt, and place of destination details. The data must allow us to identify where goods are shipped via intermediate ports. e. The types and details of goods being shipped. This should be the name/type of product using HS classification codes and the volume/weight of the product. f. Allocated container count (i.e. unit of measurement used to determine the cargo capacity relative to the total container capacity).
