PURPOSE

This document will review how to utilize the “Import Sailing Schedules” and “Import Global Flights” when choosing the route for a Consolidation.

LOCATION

Both the “Import Sailing Schedules” and “Import Global Flights” can be accessed from the Routing Tab of a Consolidation record.

INTRODUCTION/DISCLAIMER

IMPORT GLOBAL SAILING SCHEDULES

To access Global Sailing Schedules, go to the Routing Tab of a Consolidation and click the button

SEARCH CRITERIA

Once clicked, the screen below will appear:

If an Origin, Destination, ETD and/or ETA is entered on the Details tab, they will appear within the search criteria, if not a combination of these can be entered to narrow your search criteria.

Once the proper search criteria have been selected, click the “Find” button to view shipments that fit your criteria.

RESULTS GRID

Once “Find” is clicked, matching shipments will appear on the grid:

COLUMN DEFINITIONSOrigin / Origin Port Name – Self Explanatory

Destination / Destination Port Name – Self Explanatory

Departure & Arrival – Self Explanatory

Legs Count – The number of stops/legs on the journey

Transit Time- Number of days the trip will take

Is Gateway/Transshipment – Will be checked if Gateway/Transshipment

CONNECTIONSWhen a Column is highlighted, details of the connections will appear:

EXAMPLES:

EXAMPLE #1In the example below, the freight will move from Jacksonville to Savannah by rail, then by boat from Savannah to Hong Kong via an OOCL boat. The time frame for this shipment is 45 days.

EXAMPLE #2In the example below, the freight will move from Jacksonville to Oakland by truck or rail, then by boat from Oakland to Vietnam (Vang Tau), then to Hong Kong via 2 different CMA boats. The time frame for this shipment is

31 days.

While the Sailing schedule does not show cost, it will show time frame and the location of the legs. In the example above, the operator must decide between:

Example #1 simpler movement (Jacksonville to Savannah is a short, simple train movement) – BUT the ship does not have as easy of a route to Asia and will take longer.

Example # is a more complex movement (train/truck across country, movement via 2 different boats) BUT the freight will arrive 2 weeks sooner.
