A group of segments to specify equipment in which consignments are transported (e.g. trailer, railway wagon, ULD, etc.). This segment group WILL NOT be used in the deep sea context. This is because EQD in this context is used to define an extended transport such as a trailer attached to a truck, containers attached to a trailer etc. Containers in the deep sea context ARE NOT part of an extended definition of transport but are considered as integral with the consignment and are thus described at the consignment level.
