Freight Distribution and Logistics Center --> Vessel Systems:
stow plan

Definitions

stow plan (Information Flow): The plan showing the distribution of all cargo stored on board of a vessel for a voyage. This plan ensures the most efficient and balanced storage of cargo to maximize the load capacity and safety. Each entry on the plan details the quantity, weight, size, location within the vessel, securing and lashing requirements, special handling requirements (if any), port of discharge, etc.

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 Moderate
    Basis Could include sensitive information that would enable an actor bent of nefarious activity, so should be protected from viewing. Only MODERATE because the scope of the stow plan may be limited to cargo and movement relevant to that port. May be HIGH for sensitive or more valuable cargo. Used to assist loading and unloading operations, and if incorrect or unavailable could cause a bottleneck.
