Detail project
IRIS Europe. Electronic ship reporting
Project duration: January 2006 – December 2008In the project IRIS Europe the pilot infrastructure for electronic reporting pilot infrastructure in line with the Electronic ship reporting standard published by the Rhine Commission and with the – under preparation – technical specification for electronic ship reporting – to be published by European Commission, including the (inter)national data exchange. The pilot infrastructure consists of following:
- Electronic Ship Reporting Application (ERI Application) with interface from / to BICS system
This module covers electronic reporting of cargo and voyage data, including the generation of reports via web interface or their receiving via other external systems (such as BICS), storage and further provision of data. - Interface to the RIS Data Gateway for (inter)national RIS Data Exchange
The traffic information of vessels equipped with AIS transponders is available in the national control centre of the RIS provider. The above described system for electronic reporting of cargo and voyage data generates cargo and voyage data.
The interface serves to exchange subsets of the traffic information, cargo and voyage data, hull data with RIS systems of other countries and with different logistical and governmental stakeholders. The exchange of RIS related data is part of the river information services provided to the inland navigation sector and other interested parties. - Interface to system for supporting Calamity Abatement Forces
Interface serves to enter basic data about the accident and exchange of such information with other authorities. In case of an accident, the skipper has to report the respective authorities. The accident is classified and basic information on the accident, as well as involved vessels is entered into the system. In addition, in case of a certain accident classification and location of the accident (e.g. accidents involving dangerous cargo transport near the countries’ border), the authorities in the neighbouring countries is informed. - RIS Data Gateway
The Data Gateway can be seen as the central processing part of the system by being responsible for executing important functions as ‘checking access rights’, ‘trigger of notification (forwarding) of ERINOT and ERIRSP reports’, ‘responding to requests’, ‘receiving ERINOT and ERIRSP reports from the GUI and from other (foreign) Data Gateways’, etc.
Role of KIOS:
KIOS Ltd. carried out requirements analysis, proposed system architecture and developed system and in the course of the IRIS Europe project put the system into pilot operation and tested the international data exchange with other countries. Furthermore, KIOS Ltd. took part in harmonisation activities in the field of electronic ship reporting and RIS data cross-border exchange.
