Prefix and carrier caveats
STAU and related prefixes identify registered equipment and may differ from the operating carrier on a specific leg. A discharge event can be a transshipment milestone, so compare the location with the booked final port. Carrier, terminal, and feeder updates can arrive at different times, which may create temporary gaps in the timeline.
Official portal limitations
The official Stolt Tank Containers portal is best for carrier-confirmed release, booking, and account-specific actions. CargoEnter is better when Stolt Tank Containers milestones must be shared with customers or connected to project documents and team follow-up.
When to use CargoEnter
Use CargoEnter to keep Stolt Tank Containers container events, documents, notes, and customer-visible status in one workspace. Use CargoEnter when several Stolt Tank Containers containers under one booking need one operational overview. Use the carrier portal when you need formal carrier instructions, releases, amendments, or account-only services.

Carrier-specific status notes
Gate in: The Stolt Tank Containers shipment has reached a terminal, but it is not yet proof of vessel loading.
