Can I convert a BAPLIE file to a MOVINS file?

All membership types now have the ability to create a MOVINS file from an uploaded BAPLIE. 

From any page on baplieviewer.com, click Management on the menu options to the left side of the screen and then select Create MOVINS. When you click this option, you will be prompted to select a UN/LOC code from the dropdown, and only container data with a matching POL or POD will be added to the MOVINS file.

Navigating the Create MOVINS Function

When you select the Create MOVINS option, you will be prompted with a dialogue asking to select the calling port from the dropdown list.

The MOVINS file will be created by using the selected port, to group all container records with a matching Port Of Load value into the HAN+LOA group, and all container records with a matching Port Of Discharge into the HAN+DIS group. All other non-matching container records will be excluded from the MOVINS file that is generated. However, if the Port Of Load value is set to the port specified AND there is a value in the Original Port Of Load column, then it is assumed that the container is a RESTOW and is placed in the HAN+RES section.  

** If you do not want RESTOWs in your MOVINS file, then you will need to delete the values from the Original POL column before generating the MOVINS file. You can do this by navigating to the Main Content function, and selecting GBTHP as the POL value, and then selecting all options EXCEPT "-" as the Original POL value. Then click the select all check box on the far left of the table. Next, click Edit Records and expand the “Show Location Details” section on the top right. Select the Check Box for Locations and click the Plus button. Then select Original POL from the dropdown and leave the value blank with the check box next to it. Once you click Edit Records, you can then select the option to Convert to MOVINS and the output should be as you need.

Note: Selecting Create MOVINS will convert the BAPLIE from the uploaded version, into MOVINS 2.0 format, and any VGM weights will be converted into non-VGM weights. Older formats for LOC segments used in BAPLIE 1.5 will also be converted to the 2.0 standard. ATA, ETD and ATD at senders port will also be removed in order to comply with MOVINS specs.
