• A new electronic port connection was implemented with key French ports. Cargowise is integrated with AP +, CI5 and S1 port community systems. This feature will send and receive seaport messages for container loading or discharging in France or its overseas territories. Clients are now allowed to view message statuses, container statuses, and workflow events. Through this feature clients can efficiently manage and track cargo with a range of messages available that allows;
  • Customers to send electronic requests to the port to create files under a system
  • Request the status of containers either loading or discharging in France or from one of its overseas territories
  • Submit a manifest of the list of goods expected to be in each container which will be then sent to the customs through the port.

Send e-messages to schedules, booking, tracking, verified gross mass, shipping instructions and the bill of lading.
A smoother process for e-Booking, and tracking and tracing process
