scope:

1.1 General This part of ISO 28005 contains technical specifications that facilitate efficient exchange of electronic information between ships and shore for coastal transit or port calls. It is intended to cover safety and security information requirements related mainly to the relationships between the ship and the port and coastal state authorities as defined in this subclause. This part of ISO 28005 contains the definition of core data elements for use in electronic port clearance (EPC) messages. It contains definitions of core data elements for electronic messaging between ships and shore in the areas of safety, security and marine operations. It does not define any structuring of messages or provide any guidance on what information is required for a particular purpose; it is rather a general data dictionary for safety, security or operation-related maritime information. It is intended for use in XML messages and will for that reason differ somewhat from the similar trade data elements directory (TDED) International Standard (ISO 7372). The core data elements defined in this part of ISO 28005 are specified so that their meaning and interpretation in general shall be independent of the context they are used in. This part of ISO 28005 does not define the message formats required to exchange information. 1.2 Application of the core data elements This part of ISO 28005 contains definitions of core data elements for electronic port clearance. These elements cover all requirements for ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship reporting as defined in the following. a) All FAL standard declarations (FAL 1 to 7) as defined in the FAL Convention. b) ISPS reporting requirements as defined in ISPS and MSC 1305. c) All general ship reporting requirements as defined in IMO A.851. d) Recommended reporting on ship-generated waste as defined in MEPC 644 (mandatory within the European Union, as described in EU/2000/59). e) Required reporting as defined in the bulk loading and unloading code IMO A.862. f) ETA reporting to pilot station as defined in IMO A.960. Annex L gives a cross-reference between the above references and the core data elements.
