How to Use

From the Home page, press the Import Inquiry button. If a terminal is not selected, users will be prompted to select one.
When the Import Search page appears:
- Under Search Type, select Container or Bill of Lading.
- Under Number To Search, input a Container # or Bill of Lading #.
- Press Search button.
If Container # is found, the Container Availability page will display:
- Container #, Container Size, Location, SSCO (shipping line), Last Free Day, Demurrage Fee (if due), any Holds and Available (for pickup) will display as Yes (green) or No (red).
If Bill of Lading # is found, the Container Availability page will list all containers associated to that bill of lading. Pressing + or - by Container No. opens or closes each container’s details.
If Container # or Bill of Lading # is not found, a ‘No Records found’ flash message will appear.
