This document discusses two pilot eMar services using the maritime common reporting schema: 1) Navigator Port, a service that simplifies port clearance procedures by reducing paperwork by 90% and ensuring correct forms. A web-based version was successfully tested. 2) Ship survey status, which provides vessel information, certificate status, and survey status through DNV Exchange. A first version of the web service was made available. Future work will focus on expanding functionality for both services and having them ready once the eMar ecosystem is established. The common reporting schema supported the initial pilots' information exchange needs.

Introduction and background
 A survey of potential eMar services related to safety, security and environmental
protection of shipping has been carried out
 A number of such services have been identified that could benefit from being
offered within the eMar ecosystem
 Pilot implementations of two such services have been initiated within eMar
– Port Navigator for ship reporting messages
– Exchange ship survey status
 Both are utilizing the maritime common reporting schema (CRS)

The Navigator Port Service
 A service (software) for simplifying port clearance procedures and alleviate the
administrative burden on the captain
– Amount of paperwork may be reduced by 90%
 > 2500 ships world-wide use Navigator Port on a daily basis
 Core module: port manager
 Several additional modules:
– Passage planner module, work and rest hours module, Voyage planning and
optimization module, fleet manager module, vessel admin module
 Software updated by CD three times a year and by weekly e-mails

Navigator Port
 Providing correct information and forms according to Port State Authorities’
requirements
– More than 1600 port clearance forms, covering more than 11 000 ports in more
than 180 countries are available
– Specific arrival and departure checklists for all major ports
– Forms programmatically linked to vessel logs and databases
– Automatic pre-filled forms with ship and crew data
– Electronic reporting directly to Authorities are included
– E.g. to USA (eNOAD), Australia, Singapore, Germany, Sweden, New Zealand,
Ecuador, CARICOM and the Panama canal.
– New reporting requirements will be met when entering into force
 May include other forms than port state reports
– Company specific forms, environmental reporting, daily reports to charterers

Navigator Port – main advantages
 Reduce paperwork on the bridge
 Simplifies and speeds up ship to shore reporting
 Smoother port clearance procedures
 Reduce delays and possible penalties during port calls
 Ensure safer navigation
– Allowing the master to focus on his navigational tasks
 Currently, forms are typically submitted as attachments to e-mail
 With increasing broadband connections between ship and shore added value can
be obtained by offering Navigator as a web service

Navigator Port eMar pilot
 Implement Navigator ship reporting as an eMar web service using the CRS
 Successful communication with eBOS test-bed
– Successful submission of pre-arrival information
– Immediate confirmation if submission is OK
– Useful error messages received in case of incorrect forms/missing information
– Currently, we only submit Vessel ID (IMO number), Vessel name, departure
port, arrival port, ETA
 Plans for further work:
– Extend service with other information related to Crew, Cargo..
– Extend service with other functionality, e.g. daily reports, environmental
reporting, ...
– Possibly integrate with NCA system

DNV Exchange
 Web-based interface for clients and other parties to obtain information regarding
relationship to class
 Basic service gives secure, web-based access to class survey and certificate
status and general reference information
– Access to reports of certificates, periodic surveys, conditions of class, memos to
owner, retroactive requirements etc.
– Online survey request; survey scheduling tools
 Additional information depending on subscription levels
– Electronic scanned vessel certificates, additional vessel documentation, port
state control checklists and guidance material
 Amount of information is different for owners and managers, flag and port state
authorities, etc.
– Some of the information is publically available in the register of vessels

DNV Exchange web tool: Vessel info
 Contains the following information:
– Summary, Dimensions, Classification, Registry, Hull Summary, Machinery
Summary, Yard Owner
– Searchable by vessel name, DNV ID, IMO No, Builder’s No and Flag

Ship survey status as eMar web service
 Implement vessel info and ship certificate and survey status as an eMar web
service using the CRS
– Initially, only public information
 Currently, a first version of the eMar web service is available
– Containing overview of vessel info, certificate status and survey status for class
and statutory certificates and surveys
– Available at https://exchange.dnv.com/exchange/VesselInfoWS.asmx?WSDL

Summary and conclusions
 Work has been initiated to implement two eMar pilots using the CRS
– Navigator Port pre-arrival reporting
– Ship survey status
 Preliminary pilots with limited functionality are working fine
 Future work will focus on extending the services with more functionality
 The CRS is sufficient for the information exchange needed in these two pilots
 DNV-GL wants to be ready to offer these types of services as soon as the eMar
ecosystem and necessary infrastructure are in place
