Prefix and carrier caveats
HDMU and related prefixes identify registered equipment and may differ from the operating carrier on a specific leg.

Carrier, terminal, and feeder updates can arrive at different times, which may create temporary gaps in the timeline.
Official portal limitations
The official HMM (Hyundai Merchant Marine) portal is best for carrier-confirmed release, booking, and account-specific actions. CargoEnter is better when HMM (Hyundai Merchant Marine) milestones must be shared with customers or connected to project documents and team follow-up.
When to use CargoEnter

Carrier-specific status notes
Gate in: The HMM (Hyundai Merchant Marine) shipment has reached a terminal, but it is not yet proof of vessel loading. Loaded: Use the vessel and voyage from this event as the active ocean leg for customer updates. Discharged: Check whether the port is a transshipment hub or the final destination before marking the shipment arrived.
