What is an ELO?

The mandatory pre-notification required before a container can enter any port terminal.

An Electronic Loading Order (ELO) is a pre-arrival notification that must be submitted to a port's community system before a container can be presented at the terminal gate. Without a valid ELO, trucks are turned away — causing costly delays and supply chain disruption.

Droblet connects directly to port community systems and submits ELOs automatically — the moment your booking is confirmed.
