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 the port community system, drafts the ELO from the booking and submits it once approved.

How it works

From booking to port acceptance in 4 steps.

01

Upload Booking / SI

Upload your shipping instruction or booking confirmation in any format — PDF, CSV, or via API.

02

AI Fills ELO Fields

Container number, vessel, voyage, cargo details — all extracted and mapped to ELO format automatically.

03

Approve & Submit

Missing fields are listed; your operator confirms and approves. Droblet submits to the port community system.

04

Gate acceptance and ELO reference returned immediately. Status tracked live until cut-off.
