The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) sees e-Maritime as an opportunity to facilitate efficient information exchange and procedures along the logistics chain. ESPO welcomes progress made on the EU Directive regarding national single windows for port information, but ports need flexibility to request additional operational data. There is also a need to clarify the relationship between national single windows and e-Customs initiatives to avoid duplication. Additionally, the SafeSeaNet system should automatically share more vessel information with ports and address issues of data inaccuracies and responsibility. IT solutions for e-Maritime must be open and affordable for all ports.
