CODECO Meaning in Container Gate and Depot Operations

CODECO is an EDI message used to communicate container gate-in and gate-out events between terminals, depots, shipping lines, and related operational systems.

What CODECO covers

CODECO communicates container movement events at the gate. That can include entries, exits, and other operational status changes needed by connected parties and systems.

Why it matters operationally

Gate control is a billing, visibility, and customer-service issue as much as an operational one. CODECO support helps keep those movement events synchronized instead of re-entered later.

Why it matters

Improves gate visibility.

Supports cleaner container event capture.

Reduces re-entry between terminal, depot, and line systems.
