What’s happening

Tracking requests tell Terminal49 to start monitoring a container. You can track by container number, booking number, or bill of lading. Once tracked, Terminal49 polls carriers and terminals for updates. Shipments are the parent objects that group related containers. A single bill of lading might have multiple containers. Events are individual milestones: gate out, vessel departure, discharge, and more. Each event has a timestamp, location, and description. Routes list the ports a container visits, in order, with arrival and departure times for each port. When the container is at sea, the route also includes the current vessel.
