IMO’s Facilitation Committee, which is meeting from 5 to 8 June, will approve a revised format of the IMO Compendium on Facilitation and Electronic Business, including a revised and updated standard IMO data model set.
Data models define information which might be transferred between automated systems, such as for export, import and transit. The revised Compendium will include a completely revised data structure, including digitalization-friendly definitions of all the information elements that a ship needs to report.
