ICHCA International Safety Panel Briefing Pamphlet No 30 Annex 4 Documentation A4.1 Booking Request A4.1.1 The documentation chain starts with the shipper or the freight forwarder making a Booking Request (see Figure A4.1) to use tank containers to transport their product to the destination. A4.1.2 Every request should include a unique Shipper’s Reference which will be used on all future documentation and correspondence. A4.1.3 Every shipment made in tank containers will require the shipper to book either tank containers owned by the shipping line or to use their own (shipper’s own) tank and book “slots”. Additionally the shipper will need to specify the size of the tank container (normally 20 ft), the volume of the pressure vessel, the average weight of the cargo, whether heating or cooling is required and what power / heat source is required to operate it and any other unique features or requirements such as holding time. A4.1.4 Tank containers can be shipped in three states, loaded with a cargo, uncleaned with a residue of the previous cargo or cleaned. A4.1.5 The Shipper will need to advise the shipping line of the cargo that is to be carried. If the cargo is classified as Dangerous Goods then the shipper will need to provide the UN number, the Proper Shipping Name, the primary and secondary hazard class(es), the packing group and, if applicable, the flash point of the product being carried. A4.1.6 The port of loading/port of discharge sections deal with the deep / short sea voyage itself, identifying the container yard (CY) where the tank container originates, the planned port of discharge and the planned dates for the loading and discharge. A4.1.7 The steamship line will also record its booking number for the booking. A4.1.8 Some countries may require details of the customs office to be recorded A4.1.9 The section for special instructions should be used to indicate stowage and handling requirements and any other information that would be useful to the shipping line stevedores and transport companies.
