Freight Distribution and Logistics Center --> Vessel Systems:
shipping manifest

Definitions

shipping manifest (Information Flow): The document accounting for all cargo loaded on the ship. The shipping manifest includes details about the vessel voyage and identifying information about the ship.

Freight Distribution and Logistics Center (Source Physical Object): The 'Freight Distribution and Logistics Center' provides intermodal logistics support and support for the efficient distribution of freight across transport systems and modes. This can include consolidation arrangements, warehousing, information sharing systems, and consignor-to-consignee intermodal shipping arrangements. These capabilities may be provided as part of intermodal fleet management activities or can be provided by an independent logistics specialist.

These systems may also include centralized platforms that coordinate vessel operations, cargo documentation, ground transport reservations, and operational information exchange among vessels, terminals, cargo owners, transport operators, and other port stakeholders to support efficient and coordinated port and intermodal freight operations.

Vessel Systems (Destination Physical Object): 'Vessel Systems' resides on a vessel and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions that support vessel operations. A vessel is a general classification of maritime vehicles that includes ships, barges, and boats. In ARC-IT we are focused on vessels that provide marine transport of cargo, including containerized cargo, bulk cargo, and vehicles.

    InteroperabilityDescription
    RegionalInteroperability throughout the geopolitical region is highly desirable, but if implemented differently in different transportation management jurisdictions, significant benefits will still accrue in each jurisdiction. Regardless, this Information Flow Triple should be implemented consistently within a transportation jurisdiction (i.e., the scope of a regional architecture).

    Rating Moderate Moderate Low
    Basis Contains information describing the contents of a shipment as well as its path history (based on the carrying vessel). Such terms could be competitive, and while some parts of this flow will need to be exposed beyond the shipper and carrier to satisfy customs and inspections, contents should generally be protected from viewing beyond the involved parties. If this information were compromised, could stall shipment and/or payment, which could have a significant impact on shipping and payment activities. Unlikely to have any serious time pressure.
