Freight Distribution and Logistics Center --> Ocean Carrier 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.
Ocean Carrier Systems (Destination Physical Object): 'Ocean Carrier Systems' are the systems operated by overseas cargo carriers to facilitate the management of the vessels and the shipments and cargo they carry across international waters, providing advanced logistics and technology solutions for the ocean carriers.
These systems exchange vessel operational status, vessel movement information, cargo documentation, and shipment information with port community systems, terminals, vessel service providers, and other external stakeholders to support coordinated vessel operations, cargo handling, and port logistics activities.

| Interoperability | Description |
|---|---|
| Regional | Interoperability 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). |

| 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. | |
