6 Cluster 1 – Information services overlap Information flows related to WP1.1: Preventive and safety issues, SafeSeaNet – AIS and LRIT WP1.2: Other authorities, port clearance WP1.3: Commercial actors (port, pilots, cargo...)

9 Some other problems Resource management and better planning: Timely and correct information Timely and relevant information to flag and port state (certificates, inspections, dangerous goods...) More efficient information management (data stored in one place, availability...) ”Single Window” for ship and ship owner ”Single Window” for port organisations Exploit SafeSeaNet infrastructure, better use of AIS/LRIT

11 EDI and EDIFACT Virtuele Haven, 1.5 – March 2001: E – EDI/EDIFACT, E-I - Internet/EDIFACT, p-I – Proprietary over Internet E-MI – E-I and WAP, e – proprietary electronic solution, Ep-I – e and EDIFACT

12 Benefits of EDI/EDIFACT Established standard Formally recognized XML is in many ways too open Significant installed base Many users exists Changes do not generate revenue in themselves

13 Drawbacks to EDI/EDIFACT High installation costs. Special software and hardware. High operational costs. EDI runs on private networks, the transaction costs of which can be significant. Requires dedicated services, which apart from installation costs consume considerable repeat expenditure by way of maintenance. More difficult to get persons with skills in EDI than in XML. XML has many ”companion standards” as, e.g., XSL, XPath, XML schemas... ”EDI users represent 95% of revenue, but only 5% of companies”

14 XML is being used and considered SafeSeaNet (EU) Vessel reporting systems (most European nations?) EPC2 (Singapore, Norway) China XML Port Manifest Project (TW) Port of Hong Kong National Vessel Movement Centre (USCG)...

17 The cluster 1 ”full picture”...

18 Main issues to be investigated Common to cluster: Information requirements One Window Concept Specific to WPs: 1.1: Port state control, flag/port state coordination, SafeSeaNet 1.2: Coordination of other authorities 1.3: Port resources, Architecture for one window concept Other clusters: VTM, Weather, ENC...

19 Solution: Cooperation Geographically oriented SoA collection Message flow requirements One window concepts and architectures Port planning tools Port inspection tools Cooperation between partners in cluster Regions/ports divided between partners

20 Use of workshops to analyze information Open to all participants

21 Results? Yet another information flow analysis ? or Useful contribution to European maritime industry?

22 Results? Yet another information flow analysis ? or Useful contribution to European maritime industry? Good coverage in Europe International orientation (Shipping is international!) Knowledgeable partners Good cooperation in cluster “Time is right”
