Year: 2026 Language: English Author: Scherpenzeel Ben Publisher: International Harbour Masters Association Edition: 1st Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 68 Description: Guide for Harmonized Communication and Electronic Exchange of Nautical and Operational Data for Port Calls. This guide outlines how ports can join a global network of ports which provide access to this minimum set of port call data through an Application Programming Interface (API). It is built on universally accepted IMO and IHO standards which are the same for every port and every ship, ensuring consistency across all ports and ships. Additionally, it incorporates the ISO standard for location identifiers (GLN) and times, recognizing the port’s central role in the global supply chain. The benefits are substantial: standardized, accurate and timely information enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of port calls by enabling better management of assets, resources, and personnel. In turn, this ensures greater safety and regulatory compliance, supports environmental sustainability and lower operational costs for shipping lines, shippers, terminals, ports and their nautical services which support the safe arrivals and departures. The intended readers of this guide are harbour masters or equivalents, terminal operators, nautical service providers, IT personnel of the port, policy makers and solution providers
