Revision History

Overview

Line Release e-service is used to generate requests for movement of containers from terminal to town, between terminals, CFS, Yard or ICD. The request can be raised in LCS or B2B system by the Box Operator, who can be either Company sub-user or Company Admin. If the user raising the request is not the Box operator, this LCS will generate the request and redirect it to the respective Box Operator for approval.

Target Audience: This guide caters to end users, like Box Operators, or Freight forwarders, who would be using this service to create, update, delete, or view line release for containers.
