Overview: EDI Flows for Container Terminals (Video)

  • Last updated


Attention: Octopi recently received a branding refresh. Colors in the application will appear different than the colors seen in screenshots and videos on the Knowledge Base. These changes are only in appearance. The functionality of Octopi, as described in our guides and videos, remains unchanged.

This video is a short introduction to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for container terminals, beginning with an introduction of the two common EDI standards used in the shipping and maritime industry: ANSI X12 and EDIFACT. 

Later in the video, we discuss the two most common container flows at a container terminal: Imports and Exports. For each flow, we'll cover which EDI messages are commonly exchanged between the terminal and their shipping line partners.
