The containers table contains 1 row per container (container_id is the unique key). Each container is part of 1 shipment (shipment_id). This is a large table with denormalized columns to make it easy to use for reporting purposes. For each event timestamp there are 2 columns :
  • a timestamp type column in the UTC time zone (Universal Time Coordinated), e.g., pol_loaded_at.
  • a text type column in the local time zone of where the event happened, e.g., pol_loaded_at_local. The format of the text is : YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS. For example 2024-09-24 17:25:00 for 5:25 PM on September 24, 2024. Depending on the event, the time zone applied can be the one from the Port of Lading (pol_timezone), the Port of Discharge (pod_timezone), or the Inland Destination (ind_timezone).
Columns marked with * are only included with the Intermodal Rail product.
