Segment Notes:

This segment is used to indicate the transport means, and where necessary, the carrier to be used for the consignment being booked. When used, it is mandatory to indicate the main carriage transport mode in this segment.

Example:
TDT+20++30+31'

Dependency Notes:
Data Elements 8179 and 8178 are only used when the type of means of transport must be specifically identified, that is, a generic description such as road transport is unsuitable.
