ANNEX

1.PART I: MESSAGE IMPLEMENTATION MANUAL CONVENTION

1.1.Introduction

The technical specifications define the structure of four messages for electronic ship reporting in inland navigation, based on the UN/EDIFACT message structure (see also chapter 1.2) and customised, where required, for the purpose of inland navigation.

In the case that electronic ship reporting in inland navigation is required by national or international law, these technical specifications shall be applied.

The messages are:

(Dangerous) goods reporting (IFTDGN) — ERINOT

Passenger and crew lists (PAXLST)

ERINOT response and receipt message (APERAK) — ERIRSP

Berth management port notification (BERMAN)

In the Appendices (message implementation manuals) the exact use of the messages, data elements and codes is defined in order to ensure a common understanding and usage of the messages.

The use of XML technology is another possibility. The standardisation of XML message definition for the purpose of electronic ship reporting in inland navigation is dealt with by the relevant working group supporting the Committee established pursuant to Article 7 of Council Directive 91/672/EEC of 16 December 1991 on the reciprocal recognition of national boatmasters’ certificates for the carriage of goods and passenger.

1.2.UN/EDIFACT message structure

The following elaborations are based on ISO 9735.

UN/EDIFACT messages are composed of segments. The structure of a message is described in a branching diagram indicating the position and the mutual relationship of the segments and segment groups.

For each segment the data elements are defined which are to be used in a message. Some data elements are combined to form composite data elements. The messages follow a fixed syntax as defined in ISO 9735.

A segment and a data element within a segment are either mandatory or conditional. Mandatory segments and/or data elements contain important data for a receiving application and shall be filled with sensible, in other words valid data. Conditional elements need not to be present in a message.

Each message starts with two or three segments, the ‘interchange header’ (UNB) and the ‘message header’ (UNH). Where required also the ‘service string advice’ (UNA) is used as a first segment to define which character sets are used in the message. Each message finishes with the segments ‘message trailer’ (UNT) and ‘interchange trailer’ (UNZ). Thus each message is contained in one interchange, and an interchange contains only one single message.

1.2.1.Description of the segments and data elements

In the message descriptions the following indicators are used:

Column 1 contains the name in form of the acronym (TAG) of the segment group, represented by the hierarchy of segment names on higher levels. This indication is derived from the branching diagram.

Column 2 contains the name in form of the acronym (TAG) of the segment, the number of the composite data element and the number of the data element.

Column 3 indicates the level on which the segment is situated in the branching diagram.

Column 4 indicates whether the segment or data element is mandatory (M) or conditional (C).

Column 5 defines the format of the data element.

Column 6 gives the UN/EDIFACT name of the data element. The names of segments are written in bold upper cases, the names of composite data elements are written in normal upper cases and the names of data elements are written in normal lower cases.

Column 7 gives a description of the data elements (fields). If a fixed value is to be used, the value is indicated in quotes.

1.2.2.Syntax

The full description of the data elements in the service segments is part of ISO 7372 Trade Data Elements Directory.

1.2.2.1.Character sets

For the characters in the sets below, the 7-bit codes in the basic code table in ISO 646 shall be used, unless the corresponding 8-bit codes in ISO 6937 and ISO 8859 or other bit codes are specifically agreed between the interchanging partners through the usage of the UNA segment.

Level A character set:

Description	Code	Remarks
Letters	upper case A to Z
Numerals	0 to 9
Space character
Full stop	.
Comma	,
Hyphen/minus sign	—
Opening parenthesis	(
Closing parenthesis	)
Oblique stroke (slash)	/
Equals sign	=
Apostrophe	'	Reserved for use as segment terminator
Plus sign	+	Reserved for use as segment tag and data element separator
Colon	:	Reserved for use as component data element separator
Question mark	?	Reserved for use as release character? immediately preceding one of the characters ' + : ? restores their normal meaning. For example, 10? + 10 = 20 means 10 + 10 = 20. Question mark is represented by ??.

The following characters are also part of the level A character set.

Description	Code
Exclamation mark	!
Quotation mark	"
Percentage sign	%
Ampersand	&
Asterisk	*
Semi-colon	;
Less-than sign	<
Greater-than sign	>

1.2.2.2.Interchange structures

The service string advice, UNA, and the service segments UNB to UNZ shall appear in the order stated in an interchange. See chapter 1.2.2.3.

There may be several functional groups within an interchange.

A message consists of segments. The structures for segments and for data elements therein are shown in chapter 1.2.2.5.

1.2.2.3.Interchange

An interchanges consists of:

Service String Advice UNA Conditional

– – – – – – – – – – Interchange Header UNB Mandatory

| – – – – – – Message Header UNH Mandatory

| | User Data Segments described in the Annex implementation manual

| – – – – – – Message Trailer UNT Mandatory

– – – – – – – – – – Interchange Trailer UNZ Mandatory

1.2.2.4.Order of segments and groups of segments within a message

Message structure diagrams and the order of the segments following the processing rules can be found in the Appendices.

1.2.2.5.Segment structure

Segment Tag: Mandatory

Segment Code: Mandatory component data element

Component D.E. separator: Conditional

Nesting and repeating indication: Conditional component data element(s)

Data element separator: Mandatory

Simple or composite data elements: Mandatory or Conditional as specified in the relevant segments directory and implementation manual

Segment Terminator: Mandatory

1.2.2.6.Data element structure

Simple Data Element:

Mandatory or Conditional as specified in the relevant implementation guideline.

Composite Data Element:

In accordance with segments directory and as specified in the implementation manual.

Component data elements and Component data element separators:

Mandatory (see restriction below)

Data element separator: Mandatory (see restriction below)

Restriction:

There shall be no component data element separator after the last component data element in a composite data element and no data element separator after the last data element in a segment.

1.2.2.7.Compressing

In data elements for which the Data Elements Directory specifies variable length and in the case that there are no other restrictions, insignificant character positions shall be suppressed. In the case of insignificant characters, leading zeroes and trailing spaces shall be suppressed.

However, a single zero before a decimal sign is significant and a zero may be significant (e.g. to indicate a temperature) if so stated in the data elements specification of the implementation manuals.

When compressing messages, the following rules shall be followed.

(a)Exclusion of segments

Conditional segments containing no data shall be omitted (including their segment tags).

(b)Exclusion of data elements by omission

Data elements are identified by their sequential positions within the segment as stated in the Segment Directory. If a conditional data element is omitted and if it is followed by another data element, its position shall be indicated by retention of its data element separator.

Tag+DE+DE+++DE+DE+DE’

|_|_______________ These two data elements are omitted

(c)Exclusion of data elements by truncation

If one or more conditional data elements at the end of a segment are omitted, the segment may be truncated by the segment terminator, i.e. contiguous trailing data element separators are not required to be transmitted.

Tag+DE+DE+++DE' Using the example from 2.2.7 b, the last two data elements have been omitted and by '|____ the segment has been truncated.

(d)Exclusion of component data elements by omission

Component data elements are identified by their given sequential positions within a composite data element. If a conditional component data element is omitted and is followed by another component data element, its given position shall be represented by its component data element separator.

Tag+DE+CE:CE+CE:::CE'

|_|_____ Two component data elements omitted in the last composite data element.

(e)Exclusion of component data elements by truncation

One or more conditional component data elements at the end of a composite data element may be excluded by truncation by the data element separator or, if at the end of a segment, by the segment terminator.

Tag+DE+CE+CE' The last component data element in the first composite data element |___|___ has been omitted and also three component data elements in the last composite data element. In both cases the composite data elements have been truncated, indicated in the first case by the data element separator and in the second case by the segment terminator.

1.2.2.8.Representation of numeric data element values

(a)Decimal sign

The ISO representation for a decimal sign is the comma (,) but a point on the line (.) is allowed (see ISO 31-0: 1981). Both these characters are part of the Level A and B sets. When the service string advice, UNA, is used, its third character specifies the character used in the interchange. It is however strongly recommended to use as a default the (,) to represent a decimal sign under all circumstances. The decimal sign shall not be counted as a character of the value when computing the maximum field length of a data element. However, allowance shall be made for the character in transmission and reception. When a decimal sign is transmitted, there shall be at least one digit before and after the decimal sign. For values represented by integers only, neither a decimal sign nor decimal zeroes are used unless there is a need to indicate the degree of precision.

Preferred: 0,5 and 2 and 2,0 Not allowed: ,5 or .5 or 2, or 2.

(b)Triad separator

Triad separators shall not be used in interchange.

Allowed: 2500000 Not allowed: 2,500,000 or 2.500.000 or 2 500 000

(c)Sign

Numeric data element values shall be regarded as positive. Although conceptually a deduction is negative, it shall be represented by a positive value and such cases shall be indicated in the data elements directory. lf a value is to be indicated as negative, it shall in transmission be immediately preceded by a minus sign, e.g. -112. The minus sign shall not be counted as a character of the value when computing the maximum field length of a data element. However, allowance shall be made for the character in transmission and reception.

Legend:

Ref.

The numeric reference tag for the data element as stated in ISO 7372 UNTDED and, when preceded by S, reference for a composite data element used in service segments.

Name

Name of COMPOSITE DATA ELEMENT in capital letters
Name of DATA ELEMENT in capital letters
Name of Component data element in small letters

Repr.

Data value representation:
a — alphabetic characters
n — numeric characters
an — alphanumeric characters
a3 — 3 alphabetic characters, fixed length
n3 — 3 numeric characters, fixed length
an3 — 3 alphanumeric characters, fixed length
a..3 — up to 3 alphabetic characters
n..3 — up to 3 numeric characters
an..3 — up to 3 alphanumeric characters
M — Mandatory element
C — Conditional element.

When the composite data element is used, a mandatory component data element in a conditional composite data element shall appear.

If in the message implementation manuals a smaller number is used than the ISO standard requires, then this shall be indicated within brackets. The remaining space in a data element shall be filled with space characters.

The usage indicators in the message implementation manuals are as follows:

UNSM Usage	Usage	Indicator in this message implementation manual
Mandatory (M)	Mandatory (M)	mandatory (M)
Conditional (C)	Required (R)	always required (M)
Conditional (C)	Advised (A)	usage of e.g. a certain code set is strongly advised
Conditional (C)	Dependent (D)	usage of the entity depends upon well defined conditions
Conditional (C)	Optional (O)	usage is at the need or discretion of the sender of the message
Conditional (C)	Not Used (X)	not to be used (n. a.)

In the implementation manuals of the messages the usage indicators are used explicitly to ensure a uniform use within electronic ship reporting in inland navigation. Throughout the document reference is made to indicators (M, R, A, D, O and X) which are shown adjacent to data items and which dictate for the message the agreed usage of the entities.

In the following table the indicators and their respective uses are set out:

Status (S) Value	Description	Remark
M	Mandatory	Indicates that this item is mandatory in the standard message.
R	Required	Indicates that this entity shall be sent in this message implementation and use is here mandatory.
A	Advised	Indicates that a recognised international code-set i.e. UN, ISO or ERI code set is highly recommended for use in this implementation over any local codes.
D	Dependent	Indicates that the use of the entity depends upon a well-defined condition or set of conditions. These conditions shall be clearly specified in the relevant implementation guideline.
O	Optional	Indicates that this entity is at the need or discretion of the sender of the message.
X		Not to be used in this message implementation (n. a.).

1.3.Messages

1.3.1.ERINOT

The ERI notification message (ERINOT) shall be used for the reporting of voyage related information and of information on dangerous and non-dangerous cargo carried on-board vessels sailing on inland waterways. The ERINOT message is a specific use of the UN/EDIFACT ‘International Forwarding and Transport Dangerous Goods Notification (IFTDGN)’ message as it has been developed within the PROTECT(3) organisation. The ERINOT message is based on the EDIFACT directory 98.B and the PROTECT implementation version 1.0.

For the data and codes contained in the message applications based on these message specifications, use has been made of the UN Directory D98B.

The ERINOT message encompasses the following types:

transport notification from vessel to authority (identifier ‘VES’), from ship to shore;
transport notification from carrier to authority (identifier ‘CAR’), from shore to shore;
passage notification (identifier ‘PAS’), from authority to authority.

The following message functions show what sort of message can be expected:

new message (identifier ‘9’);
modification of message (identifier ‘5’);
cancellation of message (identifier ‘1’).

1.3.2.PAXLST

The PAXLST message is based on the UN/EDIFACT message PAXLST. It shall be used for the exchange of data in inland navigation between the captain/skipper or carrier and designated authorities such as ISPS terminals, customs, immigration, police.

The message shall be also used to transfer passenger/crew data from a designated authority in the country of departure to the appropriate authorities in the country of arrival of the means of transport.

1.3.3.ERIRSP

The ERI response message (ERIRSP) is derived from the UN/EDIFACT APERAK message. It may be generated by for instance a RIS centre. The response messages with respect to the different functions (new, modification or cancellation) of the ERINOT message have all the same structure. The response to a ‘modification’ or a ‘cancellation’ contains information whether or not the ‘modification’ or ‘cancellation’ has been processed by the receiving system.

1.3.4.BERMAN

The Berth Management (BERMAN) message combines the pre-arrival notification respectively general declaration into one single notification which is based on the EDIFACT message BERMAN from the UN/EDIFACT D04B directory. The implementation manual is based on the guidelines as defined by the PROTECT group.

The BERMAN message shall be sent by vessels sailing on inland waterways before arriving at or departing from a berth or a port and provides information about the time of arrival and the services required to ensure a prompt handling, to support procedures and to facilitate controls.

The message incorporates the legal requirements regarding the notification of a ship to a port. It supports one request for the ship — be it for entering the port, berthing on arrival of the ship, leaving the berth on departure of the ship or shifting of berths for the ship within the port or for transiting only through the port area. The arrival and transit notification contains all details regarding the movement of the ship from outside the port area to the first berth in the port area or in case of transit to the point where the vessel is leaving.

Required additional services to be arranged for arrival at a berth can be specified. The estimated time of arrival (ETA) at the entry point and where required leaving point and previous place of call of the ship are required information elements.

1.4.Amendment procedures

Proposals for amendments to the message implementation manuals shall be sent together with an explanation, why the amendment is needed to the chairperson of the Electronic Reporting expert group.

The chairperson shall distribute the proposal to the members of the expert group as well as to the European Commission.

As regards the expert group, the relevant procedures as defined in the Terms of Reference for the Electronic Reporting expert group shall apply.

The European Commission will proceed with any amendment in accordance with the procedures established in the RIS Directive. In this context, due account shall be taken of the work of the expert group.

2.PART II: CODES AND REFERENCES

2.1.Introduction

In Part II the various codes and references which shall be used in electronic ship reporting for inland navigation are defined. The usage of codes and reference numbers does serve the purpose of unambiguousness. The use of codes and references will lead to less misinterpretations and easy translation into any language. Therefore the usage of codes and references is mandatory for those codes indicated in the messages and included here and strongly recommended whenever other data has to be interchanged between various computer applications and between parties using different languages provided that the relevant data element allows an existing and published code value. In the following, the definitions and descriptions of the used codes and references are described, for the actual code tables a reference will be made towards the relevant chapters of this Annex or where available an URL (Internet address) will be given.

2.2.Clarifications

2.2.1.Terminology

The following clarifications serve to ensure that the meaning of the used information elements in electronic ship reporting is clear and unambiguous and that through clear descriptions the maintenance of data and references is facilitated and ensured.

1.Data Dictionary

A data dictionary is in essence a centralised storage of information on data such as the meaning, the links with other data, the source, the usage, and the classification. The dictionary is used for the efficient planning, management and evaluation of the collection, recording and usage of data. The data dictionary or lexicon is primary and originally a book containing words arranged in alphabetical order with definitions, etymologies and other information.

2.Data Element Directory

A data element directory is in essence a book with directions listing names and particulars of a specific group of information elements. In information technology it is also a table with identification symbols and pointers to the matching data. The TDED (Trade Data Elements Directory) ISO 7372 has an adopted agreed set of standard data elements for various areas of application. It contains a number, a data element name, a description of the concept to explain the agreed meaning in order to determine the content of the information (data value) to be provided with the data element. A specification of the character representation of the data value, with indication of space (number of characters) is provided, together with the synonyms of data element names where appropriate and used.

3.Data repository

A data repository is in essence a place where things are stored, e.g. a warehouse. Quite often the term data warehouse is used to indicate the place of storage of common data. The data repository is used in the development of XML and ebXML to indicate the place of storage of the so called core components. The first catalogues of core components are available as draft proposals for standards, see also www.unece.org/cefact/. Under ebXML a repository item is associated with a set of standard metadata defined as attributes of the registry object class. These attributes reside outside of the actual repository and provide descriptive information about the repository item.

4.Glossary

A list and explanation of e.g. difficult technical terms, it is often described as a partial dictionary. The terms are often alphabetically listed to be used for reference in projects, books or studies.

5.Vocabulary

A list of words and often phrases, abbreviations etc. usually arranged in alphabetical order and defined or otherwise identified as in a dictionary or glossary.

2.2.2.WCO and the H.S.

The World Customs Organisation (WCO) has developed a number of standards and guidelines pertaining to the interchange of data in the area of goods and cargo declarations.

The WCO maintains the Harmonised System (HS) which provides a 6-digit classification system for goods and commodities, the HS is used for classifying goods covering over 5 000 descriptions of the products or groups of products most commonly produced and traded. The structure of this numeric system is such that it provides a legal and logical structure, which puts group's products or categories of products into headings, chapters and into sections.

It can be used by customs but is meant also for statistics, manufacturers, transport, import and export.

The structure is as follows:

XX	Heading
XXXX	Harmonised System
XXXX.XX	HS Code

For additional local use the code can be expanded as follows:

XXXX.XX.XX	Code for Combined Nomenclature
XXXX.XX.XX.XX	Statistics number
XXXX.XXXX.XXX	TARIC code

Moreover there are further local subdivisions of up to 21 positions to indicate e.g. the national tax code.

The Kyoto Convention of the WCO describes in detail the procedures and processes and the information elements for transit and import/export declarations.

2.3.Definitions

In the following, details and remarks on the application of these codes in inland navigation and user guidelines are given. The vessel and convoy type codes are depicted in various languages in the code tables. The combination of the elements of the above named codes 12 to 15 is defined in Chapter 2.7.

2.4.1.Updating of codes and reference tables

The need to maintain uniform codes and references and the strong requirement to keep the various tables stable and uniform, requires stringent procedures and processes for the maintenance, publication and usage of the various codes.

To facilitate the maintenance of all codes and reference tables used in electronic reporting messages, the codes and references are divided into six categories.

Category A

International codes and references maintained by an official organisation and used in a singular fashion. New or change codes will be published by the international organisation which also indicates at which time the new codes shall be implemented. The implementation of changes to the tables is coordinated by this organisation however for the reporting under the electronic ship reporting specifications, the ERI Expert Group shall indicate as from when the codes are to be used in the messages. Examples are the UNDG(7) IMDG(8) ADN/ADNR/D(9) and the HS/TARIC(10) codes.

Category B

International codes and references maintained by an recognised international organisation such as ISO or UNECE; the publication of changes to the tables takes place at regular intervals as a result of user requirements, the changes are coordinated by the user communities. Examples are the UN/LOCODES(11), the type of means of transport, transport mode, country and currency codes, freight costs and charges.

Category C

Business related codes and references maintained by a private respectively public-private organisation such as EAN, Lloyds, Protect. Examples are IMO numbers, EAN address codes.

Category D

Regional codes and references maintained by a public organisation for usage in a certain area. Examples are fairway section codes, ECDIS references.

Category E

National codes and references maintained by a public, respectively public private partnership. Examples are NST/R.

Category F

Standard codes and references used in the reporting and which are part of the standard message and described in the message as such. Changes should be coordinated by the controlling bodies. Examples are qualifiers, syntax codes, identifiers, function codes.

The international codes and references mentioned under Category A are generally originating from the shipper of the goods. The codes are to be supplied obligatory in accordance with the respective legal requirements and rules and regulations to enable and facilitate control by the competent authorities and emergency measures.

For all the other categories a subset consisting of the codes and references used in electronic reporting and other messages for inland waterway transport is often maintained by the controlling agency. In this way the harmonised use and implementation of new and changed entrees to these code tables can be executed in a coordinated way.

The controlling agency of the various messages can be found under UNH data element 0051 or in the message implementation manuals themselves or in the respective code tables as mentioned underneath.

2.5.Unique European vessel identification number

The unique European vessel identification number (ENI), in the following referred to as European vessel identification number is defined in Article 2.18 of Annex II to Directive 2006/87/EC.
Unless the craft possesses a European vessel identification number at the time when it needs a European vessel identification number to participate in river information services (RIS), it shall be assigned to that craft by the competent authority of the Member State in which the craft has been registered or has its home port.
As far as crafts from countries where an assignation of a European vessel identification number is not possible are concerned, the European vessel identification number shall be assigned by the competent authority of the Member State, where the vessel needs a European vessel identification number for the participation in RIS for the first time.
The competent authority shall issue a certificate, which documents the assignation of the European vessel identification number.
Only one single European vessel identification number can be assigned to one craft. The European vessel identification number is issued only once and remains unchanged throughout the whole lifetime of the craft.
The owner of a craft, or his representative, shall apply to the competent authority for assignment of the European vessel identification number. The owner or his representative shall also be responsible for having the European vessel identification number affixed to the craft.
Each Member State shall notify the Commission of the competent authorities responsible for assigning European vessel identification numbers. The Commission shall keep a register of those competent authorities and of competent authorities notified by third countries, and shall make the register available to the Member States. On request this register shall also be made available to competent authorities of third countries.
Each competent authority in accordance with the previous paragraph shall make all necessary arrangements in order to inform all other competent authorities listed in the register kept in accordance with the previous paragraph of each European vessel identification number it assigns as well as of data for the identification of the vessel set out in Appendix IV of Annex II of Directive 2006/87/EC.
These data may be made available to competent authorities of other Member States, Contracting States of the Mannheim Convention and, as far as an equivalent level of privacy is guaranteed, to third countries on the basis of administrative agreements in order to perform administrative measures for maintaining safety and ease of navigation.

Appendix 1(Dangerous) Goods Reporting (IFTDGN) — ERINOT

1.ERI NOTIFICATION MESSAGE

The ERI notification message (ERINOT) is a specific use of the UN/EDIFACT ‘International Forwarding and Transport Dangerous Goods Notification (IFTDGN)’ message as it has been developed within the PROTECT organisation. The ERINOT message is based on EDIFACT directory 98.B and Protect version 1.0.

The segment table of ERINOT message is depicted in chapter 1.1. The branching diagram of the ERINOT message is depicted in chapter 1.2.

To ensure the usage of the message also under special circumstances such as a convoy of ships, some extra qualifiers have been introduced for the RFF segments in the TDT group.

1.4.Dummy segments

In some cases, amongst others in the passage message ERINOT(PAS), ‘dummy’ segments shall be used as part of mandatory groups of segments. For these ‘dummy’ segments the following rules apply:

CNI group:

CNI: sequence number: ‘9999’

CNI/GID group:

GID: sequence number: ‘99999’

CNI/GID/DGS group:

DGS:
- Class type: ‘IMD’
- Classification: ‘0.0’
- UNDG number: ‘0000’
FTX AAD: good name: ‘DUMMY’
MEA: weight: 0

1.5.Empty vessels

If an empty vessel is reported, the following rules shall apply for the mandatory segment groups:

Empty of non-dangerous goods or unknown previous cargo:

CNI group:

CNI: sequence number: ‘9999’

CNI/GID group:

GID: sequence number: ‘99999’

CNI/GID/DGS group:

DGS:
- Class type: ‘IMD’
- Classification: ‘0.0’
- UNDG number: ‘0000’
FTX AAD: good name: ‘DUMMY’
MEA: weight: 0

Empty of dangerous goods (in the case previous dangerous cargo shall be reported):

CNI group:

CNI: valid sequence number
LOC: source and destination (current voyage)

CNI/GID group:

GID: valid sequence number
FTX ACB: type of good: ‘D’, HS code of (previous) dangerous good

CNI/GID/DGS group:

DGS: dangerous goods details (previous cargo)
FTX AAD: dangerous good name
MEA: weight: 0
SGP: details of the empty vessel
MEA: weight: 0

1.6.Container transport with non-dangerous goods

If containers are transported, the following extra rules shall apply for the mandatory groups if a container does not carry dangerous goods:

CNI group:

CNI: valid sequence number
LOC: source and destination

CNI/GID group:

GID: valid sequence number
FTX ACB: type of good: ‘N’, HS code of the good
FTX AAA, good name, NST/R code of the good, HS code of the good
SGP: details of the vessel
MEA: total weight of the non-dangerous good in the vessel

CNI/GID/DGS group:

DGS:
- Class type: ‘IMD’
- Classification: ‘0.0’
- UNDG number: ‘0000’
FTX AAD: good name: ‘DUMMY’
MEA: weight: 0
SGP group (1):
- SGP: vessel details
- MEA: weight of the good in the vessel
SGP group (2-99):
- SGP: Container number
- MEA: weight of the good in the container

This way of entering data for a container loaded with non-dangerous goods follows the way the data for a container with dangerous goods shall be entered. Due to compatibility reasons with previous versions, the vessel details are entered twice.

1.7.Containers with unknown details on the goods or empty containers

If containers are transported where the details of the goods in the containers are not known, or empty containers are transported, the following extra rules shall apply:

EQD group:

EQD: container range
MEA: number of containers in the given range

CNI group:

CNI: valid sequence number
LOC: source and destination

CNI/GID group:

GID: valid sequence number
FTX ACB: type of good: ‘N’, HS code
FTX AAA: good name, NST/R code, HS code
SGP: details of the vessel
MEA: total weight of the containers in the given range

CNI/GID/DGS group:

dummy group

Depending on the range of containers the following codes shall be used:

	HS code	NST/R code
Containers 20 ft empty	8609000002	991001
Containers 30 ft empty	8609000004	991002
Containers 40 ft empty	8609000003	991003
Containers 20 ft loaded	8609000007	991004
Containers 30 ft loaded	8609000008	991005
Containers 40 ft loaded	8609000009	991006

1.8.Exchanging information between RIS authorities

When exchanging information between RIS authorities, a passage message type shall be used by specifying ‘PAS’ in the BGM segment (element 1001).

In this PAS message the following information regarding the voyage shall be included:

BGM element 1001 = ‘PAS’.
TDT group:
- LOC(1), type ‘5’ = Place of departure.
- LOC(2), type ‘172’ = Passage point.
- LOC(9), type ‘186’ = Place of destination (first port where transport is bound).
- DTM(2), type ‘186’ = Passage time of LOC(2).
- DTM(3), type ‘132’ = ETA of LOC(9) only if available.
CNI groups with all the (known) cargo onboard.

The CNI group can be empty only if it is a passage message notifying another (local) party of the last position/passage point of that vessel.

1.9.Cancelling a notification

When cancelling a notification the following information shall be specified:

BGM element 1225 = ‘1’.
RFF(ACW) element 1154 shall refer to the last message sent.
All other segments (TDT, CNI etc) shall contain the same information as specified in the last notification message sent.

Appendix 2Passenger and crew list — (PAXLST)

1.UN/EDIFACT STANDARD MESSAGE PAXLST

The passenger respectively crew list notification is based on the UN/EDIFACT message PAXLST.

1.1.Functional definition

The Passenger/Crew list message (PAXLST) permits the transfer of passenger and/or crew data. The message shall be used for the exchange of data in inland navigation between the captain/skipper or carrier and designated authorities such as ISPS terminals, customs, immigration, police.

1.2.Field of application

The Passenger list message can be used for both national and international applications. It is based on general practice in administration, commerce and transport, and it is not dependent on the type of business or industry. The message is not dependent on the mode of transport. The basic concept of the PAXLST message is that there is one message for all crew members for a specified ship on a specified voyage, and another message for the passengers on that voyage whilst also possible stowaways can be reported through a separate message. The messages may be transmitted separately or combined into one transmission.

In accordance with IMO FAL Form 5 Crew list, maritime authorities shall not require more than the following information:

Name and nationality of ship (country/area of registration)
Family name
Given names
Nationality
Rank or rating
Date and place of birth
Nature and number of identity document
Port and date of arrival
Arriving from

In accordance with the requirements of the competent authorities in inland shipping the following information shall be also required:

Names of visitors to a vessel
Licence plates of the vehicles
Exact place and time of boarding and going ashore
Required services such as deliveries, stores and spares
Names of repair people together with company name
Changes of crew
Children of the crew.

All these details can be exchanged through the PAXLST message.

2.MESSAGE STRUCTURE

The structure for implementation of the crew or passenger list notification message is as follows:

Appendix 3ERINOT response and receipt message (APERAK) — ERIRSP

1.APERAK GENERAL RESPONSE AND RECEIPT MESSAGE

This message shall be used to provide where required answering and response functions to send messages.

The function of this message is:

(a)

to inform a message issuer that his message has been received by the addressee's application and has been rejected due to errors encountered during its processing in the application;

(b)

to acknowledge to a message issuer the receipt of his message by the addressee's application.

1.1.Field of application

The application error and acknowledgement message can be used for both national and international applications. It is based on business practices related to administration and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.

1.2.Principles

A message shall be first controlled at system level (CONTRL) to detect syntax errors and to acknowledge its receipt. It shall be then transmitted to the application process to be processed.

If an error is detected at the application level, which prevents its complete processing, an APERAK message shall be sent to the original message issuer providing details of the error(s) encountered. In case of application error, the APERAK message processed manually, e.g. when the underlying reason is a programming error. If no error has been detected and when an acknowledgement is necessary (when no dedicated answer to the original message exists) an APERAK message shall be sent specifying the reasons of acknowledgement.

In case of acknowledgement the APERAK message shall be automatically or manually processed at recipient’s discretion.

2.ERI RESPONSE MESSAGE ERIRSP

The ERIRSP message is derived from the UN/EDIFACT APERAK message. The response messages to the functions (new, modification or cancellation) of the notification message ERINOT have all the same structure. The response to a ‘modification’ or a ‘cancellation’ contains information whether or not the ‘modification’ or ‘cancellation’ has been processed by the receiving system. A response is required only if the NAD (1)/COM segment, with qualifier ‘EI’, contains the mailbox number, or with qualifier ‘EM’, contains the e-mail address where the response is to be returned to.

3.ERROR CODES

This chapter contains the list of error codes which shall be used in segment ERC, data element 9321 for data attribute: MESSAGE REFERENCE ANSWERED TO ERROR DESCR CODE.

It is the code list for the description of the error used by the PROTECT group; the codes values are numeric.

For local implementations additional codes may be needed. In local applications extra codes may be assigned having alphanumeric values; in this case the first character shall be alphabetic (e.g. A12).

The error codes are presented in two tables. In the first table the code entries are sorted on code description, in the other table the entries are sorted on code value.

It is also indicated whether the code can be used in reply to either a BERMAN (B) an ERINOT (E) or a WASDIS (W) message. These indications serve as guidance and are not intended to limit the use of codes.

2.MESSAGE FUNCTION

2.1.Functional definition

The BERMAN message is a message from a carrier, its agent or a vessel to the responsible Port Authority, requesting a berth, giving details of the call, ship, berth requirements and expected operations(14). It is based on the EDIFACT BERMAN message as published in the UN/EDIFACT D 04B directory. The implementation manual is based on the guidelines as defined by the PROTECT group.

2.2.Message principles

The following principles shall apply to the BERMAN message as defined in these technical specifications for the purpose of electronic ship reporting in inland navigation:

A message shall contain information on only one means of transport/conveyance.

One message shall relate to one visit of a ship to one port of call.

The visit of the vessel shall be identified by a unique call reference number that is issued by or on behalf of the authority in the port (e.g. the port authority or the customs authority).

The message shall incorporate the (legal) requirements regarding the notification of a ship to a port. It shall support one request for the ship — be it for entering the port, berthing on arrival of the ship, leaving the berth on departure of the ship or shifting of berths for the ship within the port or for only transiting through the port area.

The arrival notification shall contain all details regarding the movement of the ship from outside the port area to the first berth in the port area. The additional services to be arranged for arrival at the first berth (e.g. arrangement of pilots, VTS, tugboats, and linesmen) may be specified. The ETA (estimated time of arrival) at the entry point and previous port of call of the ship shall be given.

A shift berthing request shall contain all details as to the movement from one berth to the next berth in the same port area. The additional services to be arranged (e.g. arrangement of tugboats, pilots or linesman) may be specified for each berth separately. The ETD (estimated time of departure) for the first berth is mandatory. The shift berthing request shall further contain the other berths that are planned to be visited during the ship's call, including the ETA at these berths.

A departure request shall contain all details related to the departure of the ship from the (last) berth in the port area. Additional services to be arranged for departure from the berth (e.g. arrangement of tugboats, pilots or linesman) may be specified. The ETD from the berth and the next port of call of the ship shall be given upon departure.

The message is based on and supports the implementation by means of EDI of the following international and European legislation:

(a)

the IMO FAL Form 1 (as also contained in the IMO Compendium on Facilitation and electronic business, document FAL.5/Circ.15, dated February 19, 2001 and also contained in the European Directive ‘on reporting formalities for ships arriving in and/or departing from ports of the Member States of the Community’, Directive 2002/6/EC (OJ L 67, 9.3.2002, p. 31));

(b)

International ship and port facility security (ISPS) code, adopted by the Conference of Contracting Governments of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) on 12 December 2002, in the amendments to the annex to the International Convention of Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 and Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on enhancing ship and port facility security (OJ L 129, 29.4.2004, p. 6).

The message shall cater for the provision of sending a replacement or a cancellation of a previously sent original message.

10.

The message content shall be uniquely identified by means of the message reference (in BGM 1004) and the message sender identification (in NAD(MS) 3039). All other identifying data, such as the unique ship ID of the ship or the voyage number, are secondary references. The sending of replacements and updates also makes use of this principle.
