What is SafeSeaNet?

SafeSeaNet is the community vessel traffic monitoring andinformation system, established by Directive 2002/59/EC (asamended),

� It enables the EU Member States, plus Iceland and Norway, toexchange information on vessel traffic and cargomovements (notification and Request/Response mechanism)

� Initiated in October 2004, and became fully operational in 2009

� Operated by EMSA at Central level, by MSs at national level

Around 17,000 ships per day tracked in European waters

Over 160,000 reports received per month

Over 80 million AIS positions per month

Around 17,000 ships per day tracked in European waters

Over 160,000 reports received per month

Over 80 million AIS positions per month

Directive 2010/65/EU – Reporting formalities

– Port Plus notifications : Pre-arrival (72h - 24 hours ), Arrivaland Departure (info sent to the PSC information system THETIS)

– Hazmat notification (information on dangerous and pollutinggoods on board ships - embedded in PortPlus)

– New reporting formalities: waste and residues messageand security message

To identify a specific ship

Directive 2010/65 on reporting formalities for ships arriving in and/or departing from ports of the Member

States

Objectives:

• Facilitation of maritime transport and,

• Reduction of administrative burden

• By simplifying and harmonizing reporting formalities required by different EU legal acts, and

• Making the electronic transmission of

information standard, and

• Rationalising reporting formalities

11


States

Art 6 – Exchange of data

• Member States shall ensure that information received in accordance with EU reporting formalities is made available in their national SafeSeaNet systems.

• Member States shall make relevant parts of such information available to other Member States via the SafeSeaNet system.

Annex – List of reporting formalities referred to in this Directive - Point 4: Notification of waste and residues

• Art. 6 of Directive 2000/59/EC on port reception facilities for ship generated waste and cargo residues

12


States

Art. 5: Electronic transmission of data

• Member States shall accept the fulfillment of reporting formalities in electronic format and their transmission via a single window as soon as possible and in any case no later than 1 June 2015

• This single window, linking SafeSeaNet, e-Customs and other electronic systems, shall be the place where, in accordance with this Directive, all information is reported once and made available to various competent authorities and the Member States

13

Directive 2000/59 on port reception facilities for ship generated waste and cargo residues

Art. 6 - Obligation to notify the waste information in advance

• All ships other than fishing vessels or recreational craft authorised to carry no more than 12 passengers;

• Bound for a port located in the Community;

• Master of a ship;

• Complete - truly and accurately - the notification form in Annex II;

• Generally, 24 hours prior to arrival (if port of call is known);

• A copy to be kept on board at least until next port of call.

14

15


Mandatory advance notification

• Amounts to be delivered

• Amounts to be retained

• Next port of delivery

• Estimation of amounts to be

generated until next port

• Some waste types require

further specification (i.e.

garbage, cargo-associated

waste)

• Master has to confirm

accuracy & correctness of

provided information and

sign the form Directive 2000/59 – Annex II – mandatory Advance Notification Form (waste-types)


Advance waste notification has a central place in Directive 2000/59

• Providing information for effectively planned waste management & services;

• Ensuring the availability of PRF adequate to meet the needs of the ships normally using the port (Art. 4);

• Information on sufficient dedicated storage capacity to allow and exception from the obligation to deliver (Art. 7);

• Part of fee calculation/invoicing/documentation (Art. 8);

• Monitoring ships for enforcement purposes (Art. 11);

16

Work on the inclusion of the waste notification in SafeSeaNet

• Following Art. 3 of Directive 2010/65, the Commission shall, in cooperation with MS, develop mechanisms for the harmonisation and coordination of reporting formalities.

• Commission established the Expert group on maritime simplification and electronic information services - the eMSgroup (consisting of national administrations and Commission)

• eMS groups aims at supporting MS with coordinated implementation of Directive 2010/65

• In June 2011 eMS group meeting decided to establish a dedicated sub-group dealing with the inclusion of the waste message (Annex II of Directive 2000/59) in SafeSeaNet

17

eMS waste sub-group on inclusion of the waste notification in SSN

• Member States participating in the eMS asked to nominate experts for the sub-group

• Experts to represent a balance between SSN and ship waste/PRF specialists

• Terms of reference for the sub-group were defined by the eMSgroup (similar exercise was done through MARSEC for security message)

• COM (DG MOVE) was responsible for the work, but EMSA was chairing and hosting meetings, acting as secretariat and preparing the work programme of the sub-group

18

eMS waste sub-group on inclusion of the waste notification in SSN (cont.)

• 3 sub-group meetings took place in Lisbon (Nov 2011 and Jan & Mar 2012) with +/- 12 MS participating

• Results were reported to eMS Group, High Level Steering Group on SSN and communicated to COSS (Committee on Safe Seas)

• Mandate of the group was to define ‘business rules’ for the inclusion of Annex II of Directive 2000/59 into SSN

19

eMS waste sub-group on inclusion of the waste notification in SSN (cont.)

• Objective:

- to identify the information required for a message which complies with legal reporting obligations and,

- all required fields of Annex II,

- to maintain flexibility for local users (ports) to request additional information about categories of waste,

- while not going beyond the current legal requirements of Directive 2000/59.

• Difficulty with developing a harmonized electronic message as ports generally use Annex II format, but often request additional information following IMO Circ. 644 (standard format for the ANF – more detailed than Annex II) or following local requirements.

20

Lay-out of the electronic message

1. Ship-related fields (ship’s particulars) and

2. Voyage-related fields (estimated time of arrival/departure, next port of call) etc.

Remain completely the same, but to be provided only once when similar to other reporting requirements

21

25

General observations about implementation of the electronic waste message in SafeSeaNet

- Business rules will help Member States with the implementation of the electronic message at national level;

- Business rules developed by the sub-group were provisionally validated by the eMS Group on 4 October 2012;

- Harmonisation between the different electronic reporting formalities messages (waste, security, HazMat, pre-arrival) into the Single Window may be still necessary

- EMSA is currently developing the system functionalities (programming) of SafeSeaNet for the exchange at central level.

- Some new users may have to be created/granted access at local level (e.g. waste operators)

- Electronic exchange of message through a ‘single window’ has to be operational as of 1/6/2015

26

Common Monitoring & Information System

Art. 12 of Directive 2000/59/EC: Accompanying measures:

Member States and Commission shall co-operate in establishing an appropriate information and monitoring system, covering at least the whole of the Community, to:

- Improve the identification of ships which have not delivered their ship-generated waste and cargo residues in accordance with this Directive

- Ascertain whether the goals set in Art. 1 of the Directive have been met

• Until now very little was done to implement this provision (except for the ‘waste alert’) & the electronic waste notification in SSN is not linked to this provision

• The revision process of Directive 2000/59 may provide more indication about the development of a Common Monitoring & Information System

27

Other EMSA tasks on behalf of European Commission

- Participating in ISO Working Group on an “international

standards for port waste reception facilities” and on

“management and handling of shipboard waste”;

- Participating in HELCOM Working Group on port reception

facilities;
