X12 301 Confirmation (Ocean)

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Confirmation (Ocean) Transaction Set (301) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide all the information necessary for an ocean carrier to confirm space, container, and equipment availability in response to the Reservation (Booking Request) (Ocean) Transaction Set (300); or to notify other parties such as terminal operators or other ocean carriers.
