Brussels, 23 November 2020
On the 23rd of November, FEPORT participated in the fifth meeting of the EMSWe data thematic team. This expert group is responsible for drafting the data elements that will be reported under the European Maritime Single Window environment that will apply as of 15 August 2025. These data elements will be based on the reporting obligations that are already spelled out in the annexes of the EMSWe Regulation, and also data elements stemming from national reporting obligations will be added.
One contentious issue, also during this meeting, remains the inclusion of the checklist for the safe loading and unloading of bulk carriers, which FEPORT favours due to its contribution to the prevention of accidents involving dockers carrying out loading and unloading operations on board of bulk ships.
