ETD, EAD, ATD, ATA play a crucial role in confirming delivery time and avoiding disputes. Let's take a look at their meaning~
Calculate shipping costs immediately
ETD is typically used to predict the date and time a ship/aircraft is expected to depart from a certain airport/seaport,In the case of transportation, ETD provides information on the day the cargo leaves said seaport or airport. Thanks to this, the freight forwarder or customer who collects the package can track the status of the package.
The estimated time of arrival (ETA) is the time it will take for a specific vehicle to arrive at its destination. TIt is a transportation term used to determine the time remaining for some aircraft, car, ship, or emergency service to reach a destination. So, in a nutshell, it informs the customer when they can expect shipment. THence, the term is primarily intended to inform the planned transportation duration of the goods until they reach their destination.
ETA is also used metaphorically when not related to the physical transportation of goods, but rather as an estimated description of the time required to complete a task. Therefore, the abbreviation ETA is not only used for maritime transport. For example, a flight can be calculated based on the ETA speed of the distance traveled by the aircraft. The remaining distance is divided by the previously measured speed to give a rough estimate of arrival time. This particular method does not take into account any unexpected events that may occur en route to your destination (such as new wind directions).
It is also often used in business settings. It is important for importers to know the expected arrival time of their products. Similarly, a company manager wants to know the ETA of a task performed by his subordinates, a consultant informs the client of the ETA of his project. In computer science, ETA is used for calculations performed by computer programs. In addition, emergency services provide patients or medical facilities with information about their estimated time of arrival so that they are fully prepared to participate in rescue operations.
ATD represents the actual departure time of the ship/aircraft. In logistics, ATD can also represent the time of receipt.
The opposite of ATD, ATA is used to describe the actual arrival time of the goods.
