Enter term:

Consignment (synonym: Shipment) means a separate identifiable number of goods transported from one consignor (port of loading) to one consignee (port of discharge) and identified and specified in one single transport document. A container as equipment should in this context be seen as a separate identifiable packing unit for which separate bookings are done and as such should be considered a single consignment.
