BIC and 永利皇宫app下载注册 合作 to Standardise Container Facility Identification

巴黎和阿姆斯特丹, 11月17日, 2020 – BIC (Bureau International des Containers) and 永利皇宫app下载注册 (Digital Container Shipping Association) today announced completion of their collaboration to standardize the codes used to identify facilities such as depots, 集装箱码, M&R供应商和其他供应链集装箱设施. Thanks to the active participation by 永利皇宫app下载注册 member ocean carriers as well as several of the largest leasing companies, 该组织已经实现了清廉, 机器可读数据库超过11,在160个国家的000个设施. 数据库中的每个设施现在都有一个结构化的地址, GPS坐标 and a 9-character BIC Facility Code assigned to it that can be easily consumed by existing IT systems to facilitate adoption.

Machine learning techniques were used to sanitize and align nearly 30,来自10家主要承运人和出租人的000个设备代码, 导致高质量, 协调工厂的名字, 地址, GPS坐标, 以及业界正在寻找的标准化代码. 永利皇宫app下载注册跟踪 & 跟踪标准, 例如, now refer to the BIC Facility Code to identify places for supply chain events without ambiguity.

API, 目前在SwaggerHub上可用, will enable supply chain participants to ensure their systems are utilizing a unique, 每个集装箱设施的标准代码. Those wishing to host their own version can subscribe to automatic synchronous updates to ensure they are always up to date. 除了, the API serves both the BIC Facility Code and the SMDG Ocean Terminal code lists, 这意味着行业可以获得11个,000+ BIC设施代码和900+ SMDG海洋码头代码.

BIC设施守则, 或“Locode”, 是根据国际标准ISO 9897开发的, assigned to the BIC in 1997 and is now a listed “child code” of the UN/Locode. 采用ion of the harmonized codes is expected to result in smoother communication between parties, quicker identification of facilities by third parties such as motor carriers and telematics providers, more efficient lessor-leasee communications related to on/off-hires, 以及BCOs更好的可见性. 展望未来, 规划地理特征(地理围栏坐标), which will make the database even more valuable for operators of smart containers or assets looking to automatically confirm the facility in which a container is located, 或者启用基于位置的自动化.

“Over the last few years our industry’s data silo mentality has rapidly given way to a new appreciation of standardization and the efficient sharing of data. This new focus has allowed us to conduct a global facility code harmonization we have long wished to complete, thanks in large part to the 永利皇宫app下载注册’s assistance in actively engaging the major carriers. 此外, 参与者都渴望拥抱API, which will ensure the harmonized codes are widely available and in sync going forward. We see this as an important enabler for digitalization efforts underway in the industry,道格拉斯·欧文说。, BIC的秘书长.

“在永利皇宫app下载注册成立之初, our Chairman André Simha pointed to the non-standard facility code as a simple yet effective example of the kind of standardization where the industry needs to play catch up with other industries, 比如航空旅行, 哪个使用了全球标准的机场代码,托马斯·巴格说, 首席执行官永利皇宫app下载注册. "随着BIC设施代码和API的标准化, the container transportation industry is one step closer to this goal. This is a good example of the foundational work required to make digital transformation a reality in container shipping, and we are pleased to be a part of this important collaboration with BIC.”
