PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT SIGNED FOR MARITIME DIGITALIZATION TO
SUPPORT FLOW OF TRADE BY SHIP
When ships enter and leave ports, vital information about
cargoes, dangerous goods, crews, vessel details and many other
things has to be exchanged with the authorities ashore. Under IMO's
FAL Convention, public authorities are now required to set up
systems so that all this happens digitally.
A new partnership between IMO, the World Customs Organization,
the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the
International Organization for Standardization has been signed to
support this increased maritime digitalization.
The partnership agreement which has been effective since 15
March paves the way for updating the IMO Reference Data Model and
for its further development towards harmonization of data standards
in other areas, beyond the FAL Convention, such as exchanging
operational data that could help facilitate just-in-time operation
of ships. Just-in-time operation allows ships to optimise their
speed so they arrive at their destination port when their berth is
ready for them, thereby saving energy and cutting costs and
emissions.
The Parties of this agreement have been already cooperating to
develop the IMO Reference Data Model, which is a key element of the
IMO Compendium on Facilitation and Electronic Business and covers
the reporting requirements defined in the FAL Convention to support
transmission, receipt, and response of information required for the
arrival, stay, and departure of ships, persons, and cargo via
electronic data exchange. This work ensures interoperability between
the respective standards of each organization.
