Back in the late 1980s, the ISO CEDEX (Container Equipment Data Exchange) codes were established as a common electronic language for container operators, lessors, surveyors and depots. The launch of CEDEX created a universal ‘dictionary’ to translate different items on a repair estimate, as well as the movement of equipment into and out of depots, into a universal format. This enabled data to be transferred by Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) between the different parties and their various software applications.
Would a common approach to repair estimate coding bring benefits to the tank container industry as it has already done for the dry freight sector? What are the reasons for this not yet happening? Intermodal Eye investigates.
