DISPLAYING ITEMS BY TAG: RORO

Inconsistencies and insufficient data in RORO manifests have been observed, specifically concerning vehicle information. These issues impact operational planning, reduce quay, yard, and gate productivity, and necessitate additional follow-up with customers to obtain accurate data for vessel completion.

To improve data quality and streamline planning and operations, the following enhancements to the manifest submission process will be effective from 15th June 2025:

1. Mandatory Vehicle Attributes: The following data points are now mandatory for all vehicles:

• Make
• Model
• Chassis Number
• Year Built
• Color
• Weight
• Volume

2. Chassis Number Uniqueness: Chassis numbers must be unique within the same Bill of Lading.
3. Chassis Number Format: Chassis numbers must be in an alphanumeric format.
4. Chassis Number Special Characters: The only special character permitted in chassis numbers is the hyphen (-).
5. Dangerous Goods Indicator: Providing a dangerous goods indicator is mandatory.
6. House Bill of Lading (HBL) Validation for Split No Objection Certificates (NOCs):

• Master Bill of Lading (MBL) quantity, weight, and volume must match the total quantity, weight, and volume of all HBLs submitted against that MBL. A Material Receiving Note (MRN) will not be generated until all HBLs matching the MBL details are submitted.
