If a tradeflow shows an ETA you did not expect, check whether it belongs to a transhipment port
rather than the final destination.
Dockflow shows the transhipment ETA when it has one, so you are not left without any arrival
indication while the final leg is still unconfirmed. It is labelled as a transhipment, not as the
port of discharge.
The reverse case also occurs: if a carrier initially declares a port as the destination and later
changes it, an actual arrival may already have been recorded against the first port. The
destination then updates, but the earlier arrival stays attached to the port it happened at.
Example
A shipment’s tradeflow displays an ETA that seems to be for a transhipment port rather than the final destination. Dockflow is showing the transhipment ETA because the final leg is still unconfirmed; it is labelled as a transhipment, not the port of discharge. Later, if the carrier changes the declared destination after an arrival was recorded at the original port, the destination updates but that earlier arrival remains attached to the port where it happened.
