Re: UBL Plenary - using Location rather than Port

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

one thought occurred to me after sending this.

when it comes to qualifying the Unloading, Loading and Transhipment 
Location with Shipment Stage and for Last Exit and First Arrival 
Location with Shipment it may be more meaningful to qualify these as 
Unloading Port, Loading Port and Transhipment Port Location and Last 
Exit and First Arrival Port Location . In other words add "Port " to the 
qualifier.  This is more meaningful and also more in line with UN/TDED 
and the World Customs models which refer to these as "ports" not 
"locations".
