| UPDATES OF SMDG STATUS/ High level | SMDG has now the opportinuty to stucture its self and insure global and sustainable state and extend EDI transmission standards Action: Members of SMDG (historical and new) to agree on legal status and representent role, functions and budget. Being part of SMDG has some duties for all users so every one could move forward | SMDG-New-status-genoa-st-petersburg-meeting-69-70.pdf Draft-status-SMDG-1901-association-in-english.pdf Draft-status-SMDG-SAS-fixed-capital-in-english.pdf Draft-status-SMDG-SAS-variable-capital-in-english.pdf |
||
| CODELIST and BIC | BIC and SMDG are emitting terminal codes not yet following the same aligned process and standradisation norm. Those codes are becoming critical for sea and inland terninals as a unique reference is needed by the industry for the proper managent of the cargo routings and automated transmission of information Action: Norms and lists must be reviewed and aligned between BIC and SMDG for present seaport and extended to inland terminals/ depots | BIC-PRESENTATION-2017-15032017-to-SMDG.pdf | ||
| VGM and VERMAS | VERMAS and VGM is well in place in format, standards Action: we invite all members and users to check in their systems for the utilisation of the the lastest formats for accurate VGM reporting, VERMAS, BAPLIE... | |||
| BAPLIE/MOVINS | Following Baplie 3, the same requirements of data accuracy and details are transfer on the movins to insure the proper follow up of operation along the process Action: we recomend the industry provider to enable 3,0 and above norms for baplies and follow up on the movins | MOVINSv3-011.pdf | ||
| GEFEG/ EDI VALIDATION | On the request of SMDG, GEFEG prepared an interface to enable check of segments for Baplie and then Coprar. This has been acheived to takle the need for SMDG to have a complementary mean of verification of SMDG format in addition of the usual documention historically provided The current documentation could be subject to interpretation on some details segments as limited by the capacity of word. The aim is to offer a simple third party interface controled by SMDG to enable multiple partner agreements on EDI exchange Action: SMDG once fully structured on its status and infrstructure to see with GEFEG and members the terms of application and the process of validation of such needed tools | |||
| CONTAINER MESSAGE | Consolidation of VGM declaration throught EDI messages diversity is on going. APERAK evolution needed were detailled as well as the need to have a better definition for the use case of transhipment Action: SMDG to follow up on present work and amend necessary documentation either through ITIGG directly or through amendement of present documentation (coprar fro example) to meet detail level of Baplie 3,0 | SMDGContainerMessagesGenoa2017-final.pdf | ||
| IFTISAI | IFTSAI used to exchange schedule and cut off times, need to perform some enhancement in the frame of alliances and network to give more visibility to the different stake holders on cut off times, connecting vessels, co loaders.. Action: Updates MIG to be created and advertise on SMDG web site after agreements and validation. Move forward on inventory of further requirements/ use cases | IFTSAI-SMDG-Meeting-Genoa-2017-03-15.pdf | ||
| TPFREP | TPFREP need some further amendments and improvements to match evolution of the concern of the industry on terminal operation efficiency and velocity of invoice validations within the different stakeholders Action: Further work on the requirements needs to be done and then transfered into a MIG to create TPFREP 4,1. target for the DMR approval is next SMDG meeting | TPFREP-SMDG-Meeting-Genoa-2017-03-15.pdf | ||
| All Other Business | Electronic invoice presentation and payment standards advisory board has been disolved and thus the website and documentation now hosted untill end of 2017 by INTTRA woud found themselves in the open. Even if shippers are not yet represented within SMDG, invoice standardisation for the maritime trade is an important part of the EDI exchange and relevent to SMDG in its mission to provide a sustanable environment within the frame of EDI Action: Once SMDG status is establish, such hosting could be managed properly. SMDG, PROTECT, BIC to also liase on the synergy of such activities to enable sustainable low maintenance and cost communication and update while creating visibility for each stakeholder activities and responsabilies. | EIPPSAB-SMDG-Meeting-Genoa-2017-03-15.pdf | ||

| FEEDBACK FROM VGM | VGM is well implemented now. Its application is now generalised even if there are still rooms for improvement of the follow up of the data and accuracy of data transfer: papaer base Vs EDI transmission base of certification | |||
| COLLABORATION and TRACKING PROCESS AND TOOLS | The rise of new technilogy such as the smart containers requires the gathering of new requirements and new process definition with a work group composed of all necessary stake older of the logistical chain. For the maritime transportation such group could be implementated within the SMDG as part of the work done on process during the 3rd day of the meeting sessions. With New process, new KPis, new EDI messages could be define to channel information over a the new reality of the follow up of the logistic chain. Action: Subgroup to be defined and enable this important work to move forward. As for DG part, PROTECT group is to be put in the loop ALLIANCES No items of the alliance were presented. Nevertheless, alliances are stressing the use of accurate well defined EDI, Coprar, BAPLIE, TPFREP...in order to streamline information exchange, reduce administrative cost and enable correct follow up of the containers for multiple partners CARRIER & TERMINALS & PORT AUTHORITIES To be done CLOUD and WEB SERVICES and API exchange Michael,Peter A new sub group has been created: Chairman: Ray and Michael, Group members, hanane, Peter, Khaled, mario, Sönke 6.
