Version 4.1 enhancements will be: New events in vessel timesheet, reporting of Overtime, Lashing Equipment, Landside Power Supply, type of move for cabotage. And differentiate TPFREP Light from Full TPFREP. Details in ppt presentation. Chairman presented the Edifact solutions which were already requested at UN/CEFACT to be published in D.18A. Yoshi offers his support in creating the MIG, which is appreciated. Lines status: ZIM is rolling out to many terminals, Maersk is starting to roll out, ONE is starting to develop. Julien of CMACGM becomes workgroup member. | TPFREP-41-change-summary-11-April-2018.pdf | ||||
| TPFREP community | ZIM Line is very interested in TPFREP and to align with other carriers and is also pushing the terminals. ZIM suggests to establish a "TPFREP User Community" of carriers and terminals in order to exchange best practices and experiences. To start as email distribution, later possibly Chat Room on the SMDG website. | |||||
| SMDG recommendation: Set of Standard Messages | Proposal from ZIM: SMDG should publish a set of standard Edifact messages that are typically used between a carrier and a terminal, along with the latest version. The EDI messages shall be shown in relation to the business processes that they support. This SMDG recommendation could be used by procurement as EDI-Appendix to a terminal contract. MSC and CMA and HL are in favour. Michael will provide a first draft. | Schromi (June 2018) | ||||
| IFTSAI Vessel Schedule chair: Michael Schröder | Enhancements (both requested by H-L): - Qualifier for cut-offs - already published in D.17A - Cardinality increased to cover multiple connecting feeder voyages per port - already published in D.17B New request (from H-L, originates from THE ALLIANCE) - Two new qualifiers in the DTM segment for “estimated arrival time at Pilot” and “actual arrival time at Pilot” will be published in D.18A Yoshi offers his support in creating the MIG, which is appreciated. ZIM now becomes workgroup member. | IFTSAI-SMDG-Meeting-Paris-2018-04.pdf | ||||
| VERMAS VGM reporting chair: Michael Schröder | VERMAS has become the world standard for VGM reporting in short time. No change requests were tabled that justify development of a new version. Two requests tabled in last meeting were turned down: - Italy request for new data elements due to new legal requirements (ID of the scale, weighing certificate) was not confirmed. | |||||
| BAPLIE / MOVINS chair: Jost Müller | Chairman is unhapy about poor implementation progress of BAPLIE 3 world wide. He feels that the considerable project work on BAPLIE 3 is not honored. However, delegates vote that MOVINS 3 is needed and the project work should be resumed on MOVINS 3 development. Next workgroup meeting 19 June | Jost (19 June 2018) | PRES-JOST-MULLER-baplie-Movins-3-smdg-70-paris.pdf | |||
| Code Lists chair: Jasmin Drönner | Codes for MT-Release of containers e.g. "Foodgrade" HHLA will clean up the old ITIGG List which is of poor quality. The initiative is appreciated. Currently only workarounds are in place. | Sönke and Heidi (until next meeting) | SMDG-Code-Lists-Items-Agenda-and-Minutes-20180411.pdf | |||
| UN/Locode issues | > Known issues with multiple Locodes for the same terminal (one code for the municipal area and another code for the terminal alone) > New Chinese Locodes for many big ports e.g. Shanghai and Ningbo. Some carriers + terminals are adopting them, others not. No common usage rule in maritime industry. > which Locode should the SMDG use in their Terminal Code list as reference?? Many issues in daily Edi work. The UN are addressing the UN/Locode issues in a new workgroup. The SMDG is represented by Jasmin Drönner and Michael Schröder in that workgroup. Next meeting 27 April 2018 in Geneva. | Presentation-Meeting-Paris-20180411.pptx | ||||
| BIC reports | > Clean up project of BIC inland terminal code list (Global Facilities) is making progress and receiving support from major carriers. > Boxtech global container database contains now 30% of global container fleet (7.7 mio boxes). Including sold boxes, and incl Lessee information. Maersk and CMACGM have put their fleet in, HL refuses. BIC also talks to NxtPort about Boxtech usage ! > Customs are stricter on penalizing Shippers Owned containers without alpha-prefix. BIC sees more registrations of new prefixes. This is welcome by all parties! > ISO9711 standard on stow position Bay/Row/Tier. The standard is knowingly outdated since more than five years because it allows only 9 tiers on deck. But the ISO still has not found a volunteer to become project lead. | BoxTech-EN2018.pdf Registre-BIC-2018.pdf |
||||
| EXIS reports | > New IMDG Amendment #39 will be published by the IMO end of 2018 as per schedule > EXIS will provide new version of their Coded Variant List by October 2018 > EXIS offers a Webservice which is used by ML, MSC, CMACGM, ONE. | http://www.existec.com/ | ||||
| Webservice Standardization chairs: Ray Schraff, Peter Horstkorte, Michael Schröder | Working group has met twice in Hamburg since last SMDG meeting. Mission, goals and technologies have been discussed. Separation of concerns is crucial for our success: We have to discuss processes as well as specific interfaces, but we should keep those topics separated. Technologically, we focus on REST based interfaces (OpenAPI). Various use cases have been reviewed as potential candidates for a pilot. First pilot will be "Get Container Master Data". Reference to BIC Boxtec database is made. Alignment with Multi Modal Transport data model and CCL is aimed at, however there is limited visibility to those models. Next steps: - organize a GEFEG.FX training with focus on MMT / CCL (see next item below) - decide upon pilot web service, describe process and API, provide reference implementation - extend efforts to review other existing web service APIs | SMDG-Webservice-Deliverables-v2a.docx SMDG-Guideline-Draft-v0.docx |
||||
| GEFEG.FX tool | This tool is needed to access the MMT Multi-Modal Transport Reference data model, within the CCL Core Component Library of the UN/CEFACT. GEFEG offers a free training on the tool. > Training is scheduled in Hamburg for 26 and 27 June | GEFEG (26 + 27 June 2018) | ||||
| GEFEG validation portal for Edifact messages | GEFEG: the portal will be free for SMDG members. Hapag-Lloyd: have many issues with smaller depots, but they will not buy a license. Better solution: The carrier should provide a link to a portal and ask the depot to check their message syntax before sending to the carrier | https://www.gefeg.com/en/index.htm | ||||
| DG bookings between carriers new workgroup chair: Stefano Ottonello | MSC has started a new initiative to enhance the standard and to adjust their applications accordingly. Members: Stefano Ottonello Chairman MSC, Michael Schroeder Member Hapag Lloyd, Vlad Komarov Member ZIM, Pujan Ghanbari Member Hamburg Sud | IFTMBF-SMDG-Meeting-Paris-2018-04-11.pdf | ||||
| M&R new workgroup chair: Stefano Ottonello | Messages DESTIM and WESTIM are outdated and need redesign. To cover all processes between carrier and repair shop: Esatimate, Rework, Order, Confirmation. Also repair codes definition.
