Electronic Port Clearance Request in 2000 from Maritime and Port Authorities of Singapore (MPA): Automatic Transfer of Certificate Status Data from DNV to Port Clearance System -‘MARINET’
Electronic Port Clearance FARGIS User Conference 2000 : Lars Nedland, Capt. DFDS Tor Line stated: The number of reports required in shipping are too many!!! Different Reports Different Receivers Different Transmissions Different Forms Different Languages Different Time Schedules etc. etc.
Electronic Port Clearance EPC should contribute to Reduce total amount of messages (both written and oral) Automatic/electronic handling of information Reduce number of forms Increase the information access Reduce access time Increase transparency Increase information quality International standardisation of procedures and electronic exchange
Electronic Port Clearance Principles to be used to obtain the above: Information based on standardised messages Information is issued by it's source on request Electronic exchange of information Information should be quality assured and properly verified XML-messages

What has been achieved in EPC? • An electronic notification e-mail/XML message system has been developed and tested successfully • Near real time checking by authorities of certificate status has been tested • The Ship Application protocols EXPRESS models (ISO TC184/SC4) and UN-EDIFACT models have been successfully used for preparation of XML messages.
Future work • Extended test period including improvements • The EPC demonstrator should also work for other class societies • A common international procedure for electronic notification message and electronic port clearance procedure will probably be required • An international standardisation body for ship to shore electronic messages should be selected by the industry (ISO TC184/SC4 is a candidate) • Information exchange security to be handled
