Trinidad And Tobago Port Codes
UN/LOCODE references use the TT country prefix followed by a three-character location identifier. Always confirm the exact facility code with the carrier, terminal or customs documentation before shipment.
City-level and Terminal-level Codes
A city-level code may cover a broader maritime location, while a terminal or facility reference can be more operationally specific. The code used on a bill of lading should match the booked gateway and carrier instructions.
How to Verify a Port Code
Compare the code against the UNECE UN/LOCODE reference and cross-check the available records in the Ecer Freight port directory before preparing shipping documents.
