Cargo

Cargoes refer to the objects being loaded in a container, and as a minimum is defined by a length, width, height and weight. The word item is also used sometimes which acts as a synonym for cargo.

Container

The word container (and sometimes hold) is used to describe a cargo carrying unit - a space which is used to put Cargoes in. A container is defined by an internal length, width, height and payload but does often have additional properties.

The word container can also be used for trucks, trailers and pallets in some circumstances.

Load list

A load list is defined by a name, Mode of Transportation, a list of Cargoes and one or several Load plans.
