Where's that Puerto Rico data?
This is a domestic shipment and does not require a BL. However, if the cargo owner and the vessel owner are the same, we would expect to see the shipment. Each U.S. territory has its own unique policies (i.e. Guam, American Samoa).
500
Do we have a list of Carriers that are not covered?
No. 


Engineering can dig in and make an estimate for a high-value client regarding coverage of a big carrier. But, it's hard because Carriers are always going in and out of business and re-using names. Hard to keep it all updated and tracked.
