Cargizon freight tools, over MCP

The eight tools

vessel_lookup

Cross-reference a vessel by name, IMO, or MMSI against the Cargizon registry. Static registry only, no live position.

container_carrier_lookup

Identify the carrier or owner behind a container number from its prefix, and report whether the ISO 6346 check digit is valid.

validate_container_number

Validate an ISO 6346 container number, format plus check digit, and return the parsed owner, category, and serial.

port_lookup

Look up a port by name or UN/LOCODE, optionally filtered by country, and get its code, country, and coordinates.

incoterms

Explain one Incoterms 2020 term, compare two side by side, or recommend one from a described situation. Guidance only, not legal advice.

calculate_cbm_and_container_fit

Compute per-carton and total CBM and weight, plus how many cartons fit a 20ft, 40ft, or 40HC container.

estimate_transit

Estimate port-to-port transit time by mode as a day range with the basis. Always an estimate, never a booked schedule.

define_freight_term

Define a freight or logistics term in plain English with a one-line practical example, from the Cargizon glossary.
