Ship Reporting Correspondence Group Charter
Overall Objective
Strive for an international regulatory environment that will encourage:
- Ship owners/operators to improve safety by reducing the ship reporting burden on their bridge teams
- Shore-based stakeholders to streamline the processes and procedures associated with monitoring maritime traffic for security, safety and the environment
Ship Reporting CG Goals
Establish a regulatory environment that enables industry to offer effective and affordable products and services that address ship reporting needs both for bridge teams and for shore-based stakeholders by establishing:
- A comprehensive and publicly accessible on-line Central Repository that lists ship reporting requirements
- A common Ship Report Data Model (IMO Compendium)
- Encourage the establishment of a common cyber security infrastructure environment that allows:
- Shore-based authorities to authenticate publishers of ship reports
- Ship owners/operators to control access to ship reports
Planned Activities
- Encourage IMO FAL to assume responsibility for hosting the Central Repository of Ship Reporting Requirements
- Encourage Shore-based Stakeholders:
- To seek international recognition and obtain a secure electronic identity certificate by registering themselves and the reports they require in the Central Repository
- To publish templates of the Ship Reports they require along with submission requirements in the Central Repository.
- Encourage CG Members to develop prototypes of Ship Reporting Products and Services
