Sea Shipment

Sea Shipment

Sea Shipment is a transaction that represents the execution of ocean freight. It is the job document that tracks the actual cargo movement from origin to destination, linked to one or more Sea Bookings.

A Sea Shipment records vessel details, container assignments, routing legs, packages, charges, documents, and milestones. It flows from Sea Booking and supports consolidation, customs integration, and billing.
