GS1 – the global language of business

GS1 is a global standards organisation

Neutral and not-for-profit

User-driven and governed

Global and local

Open andcollaborative

1.5 million companies use GS1 standards100 million products carry GS1 barcodes

6+ billion GS1 barcodes are scanned every day

Why are Maritime & Ports important for Supply Chain

• >= 80% of all intercontinental cargo uses maritime mode• Maritime moves all kinds of cargo• Maritime mode impacts all sectors in the economy• Maritime mode currently often regarded as “black box” and highly

unreliable especially in terms of timings• Supply Chains rely on smooth flow of reliable information

and reliable execution based on that information• Standards in Maritime & Ports focussed on SOLAS (Safety of Life at

Seas) but ignored standards for operational efficiency

Agenda

• Port Call Optimization• APMEN - Asia-Pacific Model E-Port Network• GS1/ISO EPCIS – Visibility made visible• Maritime & Ports (M&P) ask to Standardisation

4

Data quality is key for Port Call OptimizationDecision are as good as the data

• There will never be one global solution or data base

• As a minimum we should have one global sustainable standard for interoperability between all types of shipping, terminals and ports

• Based on global, existing, open industry standards for quick endorsement by industry

• Align with STM, SMART, SESAMEEfficienSea; if different signals, industry doesn’t move

Combining standards – an analogy

6

• When building a house you need standards on electricity, gas/heating, plumbing, construction and dozens more

• Different standards exist for different aspects of building a house (office or port facility)

• When the building is designed and constructed all the various standards are applied and seamlessly combined to deliver a safe, comfortable and fit-for-purpose home

• For M&P it is imperative that that we combine many different standards effectively to deliver safe, comfortable and fit-for-purpose operations.

Building Architects must know about relevant standardsIn T&L we build our “houses” without knowledge about standards.

M&P has decided they want to build their house the right way

What is at stake for the industry

7

Optimizing: Deadweight Speed / Emissions / Bunker savings Port stay Safety Berth utilization Hinterland connections Resources port services

Use of different standards and identifiers per port

Shipping operates in a network of up to 1200 ports

Ports can receive up to 55.000 different ships

Shipping Lines / Global operators unable to deal with lack of standards

Building the house from the ground up

BIMCO contracts / clauses drive M&P operations A common business process model (based on BIMCO contracts) for port calls Agree on minimum scope of data Agree on functional definitions Use of functional definitions by industry Agree on data model and formats Use of data model and formats by industry• Agree on ISO label• Use of ISO label by industry Local roll out by industry Global roll out by industry (on-going)

© GS1 2018

Agree on business process of port calls

• Every port is dealing with the same BIMCO contracts, IMO resolutions

• Important is to identify scope of data and data ownership

• No common understanding of process

• Add “handbook” to business process Q2/18

• Identify real time , business/public data, push/pull data, data governance Q3/18

3) Agree on functional definitions Done Q3/17• Functional definitions are a must,

no room for misinterpretation• Based on existing industry

standards• Berth / Berthing position Q1/18• PTS/C services Q1/18• Trade specific cargo service time

Q1/18• Publication NP100 Q3/18• Handbook for ports and shipping

Q4/18• Requested / Recommended times

definitions in process / contracts

Functional definitions – a solid foundation

• Unambiguous common language• Unambiguous identification of locations in

ports worldwide (using GS1 GLN*).

* GLN = Global Location Number

Use of functional definitions by industry

• Who’s on board?• Already represents over half

of world’s container shipping• Implemented in programs

like Avanti and Pronto

• Invite more industry partners

Avanti – Sharing reliable Master Data

• GLN allow ports to share Master Data with central Avanti application (UKHO) without identifier collisions with other ports also sending info

• Vessel operators may access Avanti using port-independent standards to retrieve information provided by the Ports

• Functional standards applied so information is also unambiguous

• Match vessel parameters with location parameters to determine safe passage to the berth

15

Synchronising services to vessels

• Many stakeholders provide services to the vessel during a port call

• Pronto is a shared platform across stakeholders in port to view progress of vessel’s port call

• Relies also on unambiguous and accurate information regarding vessel’s position at any time during port visit

• GLN provide a means of communication regarding positions independent of the port, the shipping line or any other stakeholder

16

APMEN –Asia-Pacific Model E-Port Network

© GS1 2018

What is APMEN?

18

• APEC working group established in 2014

• Objectives: - enhancing connectivity among

cargo hubs in Asia Pacific - promote supply chain connectivity

and trade facilitation• Shippers and logistics operators

need to share information and documents with operators and administrators of other ports

• High volumes of data exchange with high data quality and security

Ports involvedHai Phong, Ho Chi Minh (Viet Nam)Kaohsiung (Chinese Taipei)New South Wales (Australia)PeruPort of Klang (Malaysia)Port of Manzanillo, Port of Lazaro Cardenas (Mexico)Shanghai (People’s Republic of China)TradePort, OnePort, GLSHK (Hong Kong China)Vancouver (Canada)Lirquen, Coronel Port (Chile)

APMEN starting points

• Adhere to open global standards based on a commonly agreed event list that covers stakeholders’ critical tracking requirements.

• Build a data sharing framework, which can easily be expanded to incorporate other data sharing framework.

• Validate performance and value of the data sharing framework for M&P

• Analyse maritime transport processes to streamline trade flows in Asia Pacific.

• Provide an open and scalable framework so that adding more ports, documents, data sets, value-added services, host system connections (e.g. ERP) etc. is not prohibitively cumbersome;

The agreed milestone events on the export side include:

- Container Receipt - Export Customs Status - Load Vessel- Vessel Departs

The agreed milestone events on the import side include:

- Vessel Arrives - Unload Vessel - Import Customs Clearance - Carrier Pick up

Maritime & Ports ask to Standardisation

24

• Industry needs sustainable standards • APMEN is looking for partners to maintain the standards developed “for eternity” (so

well beyond the existence of APMEN itself).• Handover of process models and functional definitions to standards maintenance

group/s• Collaboration of multiple standardization groups is required for proper maintenance• Standardisation groups commit to open and neutral maintenance process• M&P Industry commit to provide necessary input into maintenance process

• Enhance (functional) definitions and reference data models• Basics first• Further enhanced when addressing additional business processes in M&P
