# Set up terminals

Record container terminals with their codes, locations, allowed transport modes and what each mode may handle.

Updated October 5, 2026

**Who can do this:** Role level 300 or higher and the terminal permission.

Terminals are the ports, rail and barge terminals where containers are picked up and delivered. A terminal record holds its official codes, its address or addresses and rules per transport mode, such as whether reefers or dangerous goods are accepted.

## Open the terminal list

1. Open the side menu (☰).
2. Choose **Terminals**. The list shows each terminal's **Name**, **EAN** and last change.
3. Use the search field to find a terminal.

## Create a terminal

1. Click **\+ Create terminal**.
2. Enter the **Name**.
3. Under **Select transportation methods**, choose the transport modes the terminal handles.
4. Enter the **EAN**, **BICS Code**, **Quay name** and **SMDG Code**. All of these are required.
5. Search for the terminal's address in **Enter location**. You can add more than one location.
6. Under **Terminal Settings**, click **\+ Add terminal setting** for each transport mode you want to set rules for.
7. Click **Save**.

## Terminal settings per transport mode

Each terminal setting starts with **Select transportation method**, followed by switches:

* **Loading**: on for the rules on loading, off for the rules on discharging.
* **Seal Number Allowed**
* **Reefer Allowed**: refrigerated containers are accepted.
* **Gross Weight Allowed**
* **Out of gauge allowed**: oversized containers are accepted.
* **Dangerous Goods Allowed**

## Edit or remove a terminal

1. Find the terminal in the list.
2. Click **Edit**, change the fields and click **Save**.
3. Or click **Remove** and confirm to delete the terminal.

Use the official codes from the terminal operator. Integrations with port community systems match terminals on these codes.
