Set a Container's Empty Return Date
After unloading a container at the delivery location, the empty container is usually returned by the consignee to a container depot. If the carrier does not report the empty return date for a container, you can enter this information manually to mark a container journey as completed.
- Open the Container Detail page for the specific container.
- Click on the DETAILS tab.
- Find Empty return.
- Click the edit button.
- Enter the date for the empty return.
If an empty return date is not provided by the carrier or set manually by a user, the container will automatically expire. Expired containers will remain visible in the Container Directory, and all collected data will be considered for analyses and statistics.
