This is really a TSC question.  My vote is for

      Reference number assigned by a carrier or its agent to
      identify a specific shipment, such as a booking reference
      number, when cargo space is reserved prior to loading.
but more correctly
      Reference number, such as a booking reference
      number, assigned by a carrier or its agent to
      identify a specific shipment when cargo space is reserved prior to loading.

Again, this is really a TSC question.  Maybe it is better as...

"Name of THE Forwarding Instructions document"
