Send type as logistics_hub; logistics_site still works. Supports audit records.

When to use it

  • Use GLEC for emissions from storing and handling goods at a site, separate from the transport legs to and from it.
  • Send logistics_site_type and condition_type when you know them. Otherwise SQUAKE uses warehouse and mixed.
  • temperature_controlled only applies to the maritime_container_terminal site type.
