What is standard shipping note for cargo ships employment
Outline of standard shipping note (SSN)
Standard Shipping Note (SSN) is a shipping document widely used in the UK liner trades to accompany a consignment of goods from their place of origin (e.g. a factory) to the place of loading (e.g. an inland container depot) or the port of shipment. The
SITPRO form of SSN is most commonly used; this is a 6-part set compiled by the shipper or freight forwarder. A
copy is retained by each party handling the goods until they are finally on board, when a “shipped” bill of lading
is issued after matching the details on the documents .
Standard Shipping Note (SSN) replaces a mate’s receipt in trades where it is used.
It gives full details of the exporter, customs status, carrier’s booking number, consignee, freight forwarder,
international carrier, vessel, port of discharge, shipping marks, number and type of packages, description of the
goods, special stowage requirements, gross weight, cubic measurement of goods, container ID number, seal
number, container/vehicle size and type (e.g. 40ft open top), tare weight and shipper preparing the note.
SSN enables all receiving parties to have clear, accurate and precise information on how the goods should be handled
and the applicable Customs procedures.
It should not be used where the consignment is classified as hazardous (in which case a Dangerous Goods/Marine
Pollutant Note should be provided by the shipper).
