Shipping Instruction Generator

The Shipping Instruction Generator prepares a complete, carrier-standard shipping instruction so your freight forwarder or carrier can issue an accurate bill of lading or air waybill on the first attempt. Enter parties, vessel/voyage or flight details, ports, cargo description, and container details, and the tool totals weights and quantities automatically.

Submit the final booking through your carrier’s own SI portal or format; use this as your preparation and cross-check document.

• Full party set: Shipper, consignee, and notify party fields, including "to order of" phrasing for LC shipments.
• Vessel/voyage or flight details: Ports/places of receipt, loading, discharge, and delivery.
• Dynamic container/cargo table: Add container number, seal number, size/type, and weight per row.
• Automatic totals: Gross weight and container count calculated live.
• Freight terms: Prepaid or collect, with special handling instructions.
• Printable SI: Clean layout to send to your carrier or forwarder.

1. Enter the booking number, shipper, consignee, and notify party.
2. Add vessel/voyage (or flight) and port/place details.
3. Describe the cargo and add a row per container with weight and seal details.
4. Set freight terms and any special instructions.
5. Generate, review against your invoice and packing list, then print or export before submitting to your carrier.

Example: A shipper books two 20’ containers, each listed with its container and seal number and gross weight; the tool totals 2 containers and the combined gross weight automatically for the SI summary.

• Reduce bill of lading correction fees caused by inconsistent SI details.
• Keep container, weight, and party details consistent with your invoice and packing list.
• Prepare the booking once, then paste into your carrier’s portal with confidence.
