Clean Your Manifest Data Before CargoWise.
Every shipping line sends manifest data differently. StarShipper normalizes port codes, container numbers, and references from any principal — so your e-adapter gets clean data every time.
Every principal sends data their own way
If you're a liner agent or freight forwarder processing manifests from multiple shipping lines, you know the problem. MSC uses "SYDNEY" where COSCO sends "SYD" and your e-adapter expects "AUSYD". One principal sends container numbers without check digits, another uses non-standard size codes. B/L references come with spaces, dashes, and formats that don't match across systems.
StarShipper parses the EDIFACT message, validates every field against shipping standards, and fixes what it can automatically — so clean data flows into CargoWise instead of rejection errors.

What we fix automatically
StarShipper maps port names to UN/LOCODE, calculates and corrects ISO 6346 container check digits, converts non-standard size codes to ISO format, and normalizes B/L reference numbers so they match across systems. Here's what that looks like in practice.

If you process CUSCAR, COPARN, IFTMIN, or CODECO manifests from principals like MSC, Sinotrans, COSCO, OOCL, Evergreen, Yang Ming, ONE, or Hapag-Lloyd — and you're tired of manually fixing data before it reaches your CargoWise e-adapter — this is built for you. It handles any EDIFACT-format manifest from any shipping line.
