Announcement
Access
for Rail Tagging & Release
There
appears to be some confusion in the industry with regards to any company
requiring access to the Rail Tagging & Release service (RTR) via
1-Stop. Please note that DP World have sent several communications recently to
ALL Shipping lines advising of the required procedure and it is the
responsibility of each individual shipping line to communicate to their
customers the approval process required to gain access to the RTR via
1-Stop.
To
clarify the process and approval requirements please note as follows:
The Rail Tagging & Release Service has been developed by
1-Stop on behalf of DPW and Patrick to provide a Web Portal that allows users
to submit requests to the terminal that their cargo be moved via Rail, as
opposed to Road which is the default.
Prior to the introduction of the Rail ‘Tag’ and ‘Release’
service the rail tagging and release process was managed manually by each
terminal.
The rail tagging and release service now allows the industry
representatives to automatically update the terminal system electronically
before the container has discharged the vessel. The industry representatives
include:
1. Shipping lines
2. Intermodal Rail
Terminals
3. Freight Forwarders and
Imports
The
Rail Tagging and Release (RTR) process has been designed to encompass two Sequential
Processing Stages being:
|
Rail Release - Container Tagging |
Processing Stage 2 Rail Release - Container Release |
|
Allows
Users (Shipping Lines, Intermodal Rail Terminals, Freight Forwarders or Importers)
to tag Containers for Rail and advise the Terminals to move the tagged
containers to the Rail Stack upon discharge. The Container Tagging Process
must be done before Vessel Discharge. The Rail Tagging of Containers ‘Already
in the Yard’ is allowed only by contacting the Terminal directly, charges may
be applied by the Terminal |
This is the Container Releasing Stage whereby the
Importer/Agent/or Freight Forwarder must enter the Commercial Release Number
(E-IDO Pin) against their tagged Containers to affect the final Rail Release
Process* |
*
Please Note that the Container must be tagged and accepted by relevant Terminal
before it can be released
Only
the following user groups have access to the Rail Tagging and release Service;
·
Shipping Lines
·
Intermodal Rail Terminals
·
Importers / Freight Forwarders / Agents
