- Details about the physical location of the shipment, including the port of loading, port of discharge, and any intermediate stops along the transportation route.
- Equipment used for transporting the goods, such as container numbers, seal numbers, and equipment types.
- Various reference numbers that can be used to track and identify the shipment, including booking numbers, bill of lading numbers, and reference numbers provided by the carrier or the customer.
