Choose port link tab
Select the required port link from the dropdown menu in the order processing.
The Port link tab will become available immediately in the main tab bar with the corresponding masks .
The process is as follows:
You edit the file in CargoSoft TMS and can map all the procedures prescribed by the port institutions and the Customs (via Rotterdam only Customs).
The quay requests created are then sent directly from this program to the responsible authorities and you will receive an electronic response with the appropriate loading permit, customs clearance or reference number.
A complaint, query or a loading stop will be imported into your file as a note with a code and/or text directly via the memo function.
→ For port link ZAPP (Dakosy) you can subsequently electronically transmit B/L data to the agent/carrier.
