standard shippers load and count
I assume.
SLAC - Shippers load and count
http://www.seafreightcouncils.com.au/abbacron.htm
Forwarders must indicate the actual number of pieces (SLAC), not skids, in the
House Waybill Summary Details line of the FHL message

The abbreviation "SLAC" is a statement that a shipper has taken affirmative steps to ascertain the contents of a container.

Standard shipper's load and count
"Standard" is a guess. As for "slac":
Shipper's load and count is commony abbreviated "sl&c" or "slac".
To take an example, one carrier, Zim Lines, advised its shippers that it will delete the abbreviation STC or the expression "said to contain" from bill of lading instructions and substitute "Shipper's Load and Count" or "SLAC".

I assume "STD" is "STANDARD." Does that help?
