24. PROTECT Dangerous goods message scenario
A global, trustworthy and recognised standard for the world-wide Shipping industry!
In support of the electronic notification of dangerous goods on board vessels entering or leaving a port, the PROTECT Group has established a world-wide recognised EDI standard.
The EDI standard, called the PROTECT Guide (version 1.0, January 1999) describes in detail the messages exchanged between shipping lines and/or their agents or forwarders to and from the local Authorities that support the electronic notification of dangerous goods on board vessels. This is an upgrade from the previous version of the PROTECT Guide (version 0.5, October 1995).
The PROTECT group has finalised a new version of the EDIFACT Message Implementation Guides for the messages used in the PROTECT Dangerous Goods Message Scenario. The PROTECT Dangerous Goods Message Scenario comprises the following two messages:
1.      Dangerous Goods Notification (IFTDGN) message from responsible party to the local Authority;
2.      Acknowledgement (APERAK) message as a reply from that Authority.
 World-wide recognised. By whom? The new PROTECT Guide received world-wide recognition by international organisations:
·         The IMO/FAL (Trade Facilitation Committee of the International Maritime Organization) has recommended this new PROTECT Guide as the EDI equivalent of the IMO FAL Form 7 (Dangerous Goods Declaration). It can also be used for Dangerous Goods List or Manifest, to be known as FAL Form 8.
·         The PROTECT Guide is also endorsed by the UN/EDIFACT standardisation bodies D4/ITIGG (Message Development group 4 for Transport, subgroup International Transport Message Implementation Guidelines Group).
More details about the development of the new Guide can be found in the ‘Part 1 General’ Background and Context paragraph.
 Who are directly co-operating in the PROTECT Group?
In the PROTECT Group are participating the following port authorities - and their Port EDI Service Providers (Port community systems):
·         Port Authority of Antwerp - SEAGHA
·         Port Authority of Bremen - DBH
·         Port Authority of Felixstowe - MCP
·         Port Authority of Hamburg - DAKOSY
·         Port Authority of Le Havre - SOGET
·         Port Authority of London - CNS
Port Authority of Rotterdam - debis IT Services Benelux (formerly: INTIS
