The transport_events table contains 1 row per event (idis the unique key). An event is associated to a specific container (container_id is the foreign key). An event is a specific milestone in the container lifecycle: for example, when the container was loaded at the Port of Lading, or when the vessel arrived at the Port of Discharge. These events are provided as columns in the containers DataSync table, and as rows here in the transport_events table. You can use one or the other based on what is most practical for you. The transport_events table includes the transshipment events, which are not part of the containers table columns. This table does not provide any estimated future events. The transport_events table is currently only provided to DataSync customers who request it. Rail events from the POD to the inland destination are only provided in the Intermodal Rail product : rail_loaded, rail_departed, rail_arrived, arrived_at_inland_destination, rail_unloaded, pickup_lfd.changed.
