Facility BIC Code

The BIC Facility Code began life in the 1980s as the “LoCode” identifier under ISO 9897.  Now a “child code” of the UN/Locode, the BIC Facility Code is used to identify container facilities such as depots, container yards, container freight stations, M&R vendors and other facilities in the container supply chain.  The BIC Facility Code is complementary to the SMDG Ocean Terminal Code, which is also a child code of the UN/Locode.  The BIC Facility Code covers container facility types other than ocean terminals.<br/>
