Domestic Sea Freight Agency (Within China)
Container shipping operations are divided into domestic and international. This article focuses on briefly introducing the domestic operation process:
Customer confirms price → Customer accepts the authorization letter → Arrange booking and dispatch vehicles → Notify customer of loading time → Verify container number and seal number during loading → Container returns to yard → Estimated arrival time at port → Notify customer of estimated arrival time → Notify customer to make payment → Receive shipping fees → Arrange delivery from port → Confirm delivery time with customer → Complete delivery

Laden container entry - The truck driver provides the "Laden Container Entry Form" and "Equipment Interchange Receipt", which must include: container number, seal number, cargo name, weight, intended vessel name, voyage, destination port, container owner's name, shipper's name, carrier's name, trucking company, truck driver's name, and container condition of the container to be entered.
2. The shipping company prepares the export loading list and manifest and submits them to the terminal planning office.
3. The terminal planning office verifies the documents and plans vessel stowage - After receiving the export manifest, the terminal planner checks whether the container numbers, quantities and other information in the documents match the actual situation and makes the loading plan.
4. The dispatch department arranges the loading operation, and the terminal control room directs the mechanical loading.
5. After the operation is completed, the shipowner (or represented by the tally clerk) and the terminal complete the handover confirmation procedure.
1. Before the vessel arrives at the port, the shipping company's agent sends the import manifest to the terminal planning office in advance.
2. The planner reviews the import manifest and makes the unloading plan (for barges, report to the terminal dispatch and planning office in time after arrival).
3. When the vessel arrives at the port, the dispatch department arranges the unloading operation, and the control room directs the terminal machinery to carry out the unloading operation.
4. After the operation is completed, the shipowner (or represented by the tally clerk) and the terminal complete the handover confirmation procedure.
5. If the customer requires direct pickup from the vessel side, they can go to the business hall to handle the delivery order in advance before the vessel arrives, make a pickup appointment, and after the vessel berths, the shipping company notifies the fleet to dispatch vehicles to wait at the designated berth. After the terminal dispatches the unloading operation, it arranges for the containers to be directly unloaded and loaded onto trucks, and the trucks carrying the containers exit through the gate.
6. For non-direct pickup from the vessel side, after the goods arrive at the port, the customer holds a valid bill of lading to the business application desk to handle the pickup procedure. The business application desk verifies that the documents are correct and issues the terminal pickup certificate (reservation form).
7. The consignee dispatches vehicles to the terminal, and uses the terminal pickup certificate together with the equipment interchange receipt to process the pickup document at the terminal gate and pick up the container.
8. The gate prints the operation order and gives it to the truck driver to enter the yard and wait for loading at the designated location, while the control room directs the machinery to carry out the loading operation.
9. At the terminal exit gate, the staff rechecks the container number and releases the goods after confirmation.

4. The business team dispatches the work shift, and the warehouse staff arranges the unpacking operation, verifies the goods, counts and hands over the goods, and directs the workers to carry out the loading (onboard, truck loading) operation.
5. After the loading is completed, the warehouse staff issues an exit certificate to release the goods. If the goods are loaded onto a barge or train, the warehouse staff checks and hands over the goods with the shipowner or customer, signs the document and releases the goods.

2. The business team accepts the unpacking application and notifies the planning office to transfer the relevant containers to the unpacking area, and arranges the warehouse unpacking operation (if customer supervision is required, it should be noted on the data).

For goods arriving by rail, they can first notify the terminal business team of the shipment information (departure station name, train number, cargo name, quantity, etc.) to entrust the handling of the goods receipt.
