Vessel Operations Cooperative Solutions The e-mar Navigator Port and Survey Status pilots Dr. Erik Vanem 27 May 2014 1 SAFER, SMARTER, GREENER
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) 2
Pilot implementation I Navigator Port as an emar web-service 3
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 4
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 5

Examples of generated forms 7
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 8
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 9

Pilot implementation II Ship survey status as an emar web-service 12
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 13
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 14
DNV Exchange web tool: Class and statutory certificates status 15
DNV Exchange web tool: Class and statutory survey status 16
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 17
Demonstration Ship survey status v0.1 18
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 19
