CCP Freight Forwarding & Logistics Management 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In CargoWise, what is the function of the 'Transport Job' compared to a 'Forwarding Job'?
- A Transport Job manages local cartage and trucking movements, while a Forwarding Job handles the full international shipment lifecycle (Correct answer)
- A Transport Job is used only for air freight, while a Forwarding Job is for ocean freight
- A Transport Job generates customs entries automatically, while a Forwarding Job does not
- A Transport Job is restricted to import operations, while a Forwarding Job covers both import and export
Correct answer: A Transport Job manages local cartage and trucking movements, while a Forwarding Job handles the full international shipment lifecycle
Transport Jobs in CargoWise are designed for local trucking, drayage, and cartage operations, whereas Forwarding Jobs manage end-to-end international freight movements.
Question 2: What does 'Estimated Time of Arrival' (ETA) refer to in the context of CargoWise vessel tracking?
- The projected date and time a vessel is expected to arrive at the destination port (Correct answer)
- The date the cargo booking was confirmed with the carrier
- The cutoff time for submitting cargo at the origin terminal
- The time the customs entry must be filed before vessel arrival
Correct answer: The projected date and time a vessel is expected to arrive at the destination port
ETA is the forecasted date and time the carrying vessel is expected to reach the port of discharge, used for planning delivery and customs filing timelines.
Question 3: Which CargoWise module would a forwarder use to manage recurring contract rates with a shipping line for multiple bookings over time?
- Rates & Tariffs (Correct answer)
- Accounting Receivables
- Document Register
- Customs Entry
Correct answer: Rates & Tariffs
The Rates & Tariffs module in CargoWise stores negotiated carrier contracts and automatically applies agreed rates when creating shipment cost records.
Question 4: When a CargoWise forwarder issues a 'Letter of Credit' (LC) shipment, which document set is typically required by the buyer's bank?
- Original Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, and Packing List (Correct answer)
- House Airway Bill and Proforma Invoice only
- Customs Entry, Delivery Order, and Warehouse Receipt
- Certificate of Insurance and Import License only
Correct answer: Original Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, and Packing List
Under a Letter of Credit, the buyer's bank requires a specific set of original documents—typically including the Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, and Packing List—as conditions for payment.
Question 5: In CargoWise, what is the purpose of the 'Packing Mode' field on an ocean shipment job?
- It specifies whether the cargo ships as FCL, LCL, or Break Bulk (Correct answer)
- It describes the packaging material used for the goods
- It sets the weight measurement unit for the shipment
- It determines which port of loading is used
Correct answer: It specifies whether the cargo ships as FCL, LCL, or Break Bulk
The Packing Mode field distinguishes between Full Container Load (FCL), Less than Container Load (LCL), and Break Bulk, which determines how the shipment is rated and handled.
Question 6: A forwarder in CargoWise needs to split a single forwarding job into two separate consignments mid-transit. Which function supports this?
- Split Job (Correct answer)
- Consolidation Manager
- Job Copy
- Container Unpack
Correct answer: Split Job
CargoWise's Split Job function allows a forwarder to divide an existing shipment into two separate jobs, each carrying a portion of the original cargo.
Question 7: Which international body's regulations govern the carriage of dangerous goods by sea (IMDG Code)?
- International Maritime Organization (IMO) (Correct answer)
- International Air Transport Association (IATA)
- World Customs Organization (WCO)
