Container Tracking API

Improvements

  • Vessel Reporting: Report robust vessel details when no vessel name is provided

Bugs squashed

  • CMA: Bug fix for CMA estimated arrival to POD
  • Hapag-Lloyd: Bug fix for location reporting in San Antonio, Chile (CLSAI)

Standardizations

  • MSC: Implement additional customs release, holds, rail and transshipment port standardizations

Enhanced Querying for References

The /references endpoint has been updated to allow for filtering by multiple criteria, including inactive references using query parameters. This is a non-breaking change

Permitted Filter Conditions

KeyDescription
container_idFilter results based on a specific container ID
bill_of_ladingFilter results based on a specific Bill of Lading
booking_numberFilter results based on a specific Booking Number
carrier_codeFilter results based on a specific Carrier
activeFilter results based on whether the reference is active or inactive
created_startFilter results based on when it was created
created_endFilter results based on when it was created
last_update_statusFilter results based on a reference's last_update_status

Examples:

To show all active references whose last update status is extraction_failed:

{{baseUrl}}/references?last_update_status=extraction_failed

To show all inactive references under the Bill of Lading 12345678:

{{baseUrl}}/references?active=false&bill_of_lading=12345678

To show all active PIL references created between January 1, 2024 and January 15, 2024:

{{baseUrl}}/references?carrier_code=PCIU&created_start=2024-01-01&created_end=2024-01-15

Container Tracking API

Improvements

  • Terminal Events: Capture additional terminal-sourced milestones that occur while the container is not at the terminal facility (e.g., Customs release or Freight hold)
  • Track by Booking & MBL: Continuously check for newly added containers until the vessel departs from the origin port
  • Vessel Reporting: Report robust vessel details when no vessel name is provided
  • Rail Location Reporting: Represent that a location's unlocode is UNMAPPABLE instead of null if the location is not in the UNECE database

Bugs squashed

  • CMA: Fix bug where a milestone's standardized description and mode are incongruent
  • Maersk: Bug fix for some cases of location objects not populating
  • HMM: Fix when some containers would not return container_iso despite being available in raw data

Standardizations

  • CMA: Implement additional hold, gate in and gate out standardizations
  • Hyundai Merchant Marine: Implement additional discharge and hold standardizations
  • Yang-Ming: Implement additional standardizations for gate out, load, and discharge milestones
