Hello all, for those of you that might not be aware or might have forgotten, please remember that as of 1st February 2012, Transnet’s Auto-gate (Pre-Advise) system will come into effect at Durban Pier 1 & Pier 2..
From the 1st of Feb 2012, Transnet Port Terminals at Durban’s Pier 1 & Pier 2 (formerly DCT) will no longer entertain/accept paper CTO’s except for Hazardous and Out of Gauge cargoes.. All other cargoes must be pre-advised via the Navis system.. What does this mean..??
- Once a booking is made with the shipping line, they will enter the booking details into the Navis system
- After the cargo has been packed into the container and all below details are known, the client or their packing station will need to log into Navis and update all below details into Navis (if they have direct access) or advise the relevant shipping line..
- Some of the details required by the shipping lines are as below with some them being mandatory, but it looks like each line have their own requirement, so it is better to check with the lines what details they require for the pre-advise.. These are the “generic” requirements :
Booking
Container Number
Seal Number
Carrier
Weight
Equipment type
Gross weight
Port of load
Transporters Name
In case you have not registered with Transnet, pls contact the relevant shipping line and they will give you a Navis User Acess Form to fill up and submit to Transnet..You can download the “generic” Navis user access form here.. Some lines might have their own templates..
