Ocean Carrier Systems --> Freight Distribution and Logistics Center:
vessel services request
Definitions
vessel services request (Information Flow): Request from a vessel or carrier system for port services required to support vessel arrival, berthing, servicing, or departure. Typical services include piloting, towing, mooring, bunkering, and other port support services. This information supports service coordination between vessels, port operators, and vessel service providers.
Ocean Carrier Systems (Source 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.
Freight Distribution and Logistics Center (Destination 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.

| 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). |
