SINGLE WINDOW CONCEPT
EUROPEAN SAFESEANET
EXAMPLE
SINGLE WINDOW CONCEPT

Bilateral meeting between IMO and the World Customs Organisation (WCO), in
Brussels (24 February). During the meeting both Organizations shared their
experiences on implementation of national single window systems and were
updated on IMOs maritime single window prototype project. The meeting also
discussed the regular updating of the "IMO Compendium of facilitation and
electronic business", following agreement in IMOs Facilitation Committee (FAL 39)
that the technical maintenance of the compendium would be carried out by WCO
and the revised compendium would subsequently be distributed as a joint IMOWCO publication.
The compendium aims to encourage the use of modern information and
communication technology and, in particular, electronic exchange of information,
including Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), to transmit information related to
maritime transport. The procedures for the technical maintenance of the IMO
Compendium were discussed during the meeting and will be taken forward by the
next WCO Data Model Project Team (DMPT) meeting at WCO headquarters in
Brussels (9 to 13 March), in which the IMO Secretariat will participate.
Suggestions for improvement

Vetting system for entities authorized to request
UNECE to add, amend or remove entries
Partnership for single window concept using
UN/LOCODE (Facilitation of maritime traffic)
Comprehensive harmonization of data, e.g.
latitude/longitude coordinates
Further harmonization among UN agencies on
the handling of coding, e.g. ICAO/IMO

From the marine environment protection
standpoint, UN/LOCODE could be applied to the
following:
Ports (existing)
Emission Control Area (ECA) (Special Area
MARPOL Annex VI)
Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA)
Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas (PSSAs)

Continued
Ship recycling sites

Ballast water exchange area
Special Area under MARPOL Annexes I, IV and V
Polar Waters Antarctic Area; Arctic Water

Continued
Potential users have to be convinced about the
utility of such codes for different purposes such as
search & rescue; monitoring,
conservation; incident response, mapping/routing,
environmental protection, etc., which could be
encoded into a database, DSS, GIS, sensitivity
maps, ENCs., satellite imageries.
