• Similar to e-mail…
- No knowledge of where to find EAP
- No need to bother about protocol, eFreight framework dialect
to be used (compare with SMTP…)
- Conceptually host your own EAP or find 3rd-party alternatives
• Free download EAP software provided by EC, anyone able to
run an own EAP, registration on EAP ”DNS” required with
valid certificates
• Secure data transmissions between EAP’s, based on
certificate handling

• First B2B application (transport planning
between Stena Line and DSV) planned to be
ready by April 2012
• The e-Freight project ends by June 2013
• It might be time for
MSB, Trafikverket, Tullverket, Sjöfartsverket
and other affected authorities in Sweden to
investigate how to utilise the advantages of
e-Freight, receiving real-time transport
information?
