  6. 2. Introduction to the PortNet • Organizations • Background • Implementation • Access to the PortNet

  7. PortNet organizations • The PortNet community • - Finnish Maritime Administration • - The Customs • - 20 biggest ports • The PortNet users • - FMA • - Port Authorities • - The Customs • - Vessel Traffic Operators • - Frontier Guard • - Shipowners • - Ship Agents • - Stevedoring Companies

  8. Background • The idea was to create a comprehensive national Single Window Application for all authority notices required at ship departures and arrivals to/from all Finnish ports • Customs helped FMA to set such legislation in place that made reporting mandatory • The most important and sought after pieces of information are: • Ship time tables (ETA, ATA, ETD, ATD) • Cargo (including hazardous cargo) • ISPS data

  9. Implementation of PortNet • The first version of PortNet was built in 1994 for reporting dangerous goods only • In 2000 a web based system was introduced • The number of registered users has increased to about 2 000 and daily users around 1 000 • In 2007 nearly 40 000 ships arrived to Finnish ports and 99 % of all the traffic was electronicallyreported into the PortNet

  10. Implementation of PortNet 2 • PortNet 2 is in the works and it will be introduced in 2009 and FMA will be solely responsible for it • PortNet 2 also accommodates what is coming out of the new EU Customs directive • In the future there are plans to enlarge PortNet to • Pilotservices • Vessel positioning by linking Port Net-system to the National AIS-Network • Vessel Traffic System by linking Port Net-system to the National VTS-system

  11. Access to the PortNet • Access to the PortNet is restricted • However, timetable information is open for use by anybody but cargo information is restricted to authorities, the concerned ship agents and the port in question

  12. 3. Special features of the PortNet • Data could be input using the • Web interface • XML file transfer • XML file transfer became quickly the standard for bigger firms. • The web interface is normal among smaller operators.

  13. The system of the Finnish Official Maritime Statistics • Port Authorities • The Customs • Vessel Traffic Operators • Frontier Guard Shipowners PortNet FMA EuroStat • Shipowners • Ship Agents • Stevedoring Companies Ship Agents • Official Finnish port statistics are directly produced from the PortNet • With a lead time of only one month after the month is closed

  14. The system of the Finnish Maritime Administration Ports database Quality control Traffic data FMA database PortNet EuroStat Ships’ data Ship’s data Lloyd’s Ship’s data Classification societies • Shipping statistics • Shipping between Finland and Foreign Countries • Domestic Waterborne Traffic • Canal Traffic • Merchant Fleet • Other statistical publications

  15. 4 . The main benefit of the Finnish system • Quality of the maritime statistics • Electronic notices • Quality checking of the PortNet by using the Ports database • Close co-operation with the original source of the information • FMA’s wide expertise of the maritime environment

  16. 5. Summary • The PortNet is a prime example of both a single window application as well as authority co-operation • If the departure notice from a Finnish port could be automatically and directly converted into an arrival notice in another port, there would great benefits for all involved actors • Eurostat’s initiative in creating an European-widee-Maritime system resembles the PortNet
