A5: Berth

The name of the berth as used by the berth’s operator. This is the name (or identifier) most commonly used to identify the terminal.

An identifier for the terminal associated with the berth (the terminal with which the berth is linked). This must be the most unique identifier available for the terminal. If there exists a terminal dataset corresponding to data standard “A4 Terminal”, this value should refer to an element in that dataset (Internal ID).

An identifier for the port associated with the berth (the port within which the berth is located). This must be the most unique identifier available for the port. If there exists a port dataset corresponding to data standard “A3 Port”, this value should refer to an element in that dataset (Internal ID).

1: If there exists a Terminal dataset corresponding to data standard “A4 Terminal”, this value must match the value in “A4.5 Port containing Terminal” for the corresponding terminal containing the berth identified in “A5.2 Terminal containing berth”.

The value in the dictionary that best describes the type of the berth. This will relate to the function, operations, structure and location of the berth.

The latitude value corresponding to the berth’s current physical location.

1: Must be a value between -90 and 90.

The longitude value corresponding to the berth’s current physical location.

1: Must be a value between -180 and 180.

An identifier of the organisation responsible for the operation of the berth. If there exists an organisation dataset corresponding to data standard “A2 Organisation”, this should refer to an element in that dataset (Internal ID).
