This page will give links to different collections of resources, as well as any documents that are published directly by ISTS.
We have been collecting information about maritime ITS standards for several years and this is available at the MITS Forum web pages. This has not been updated much since 2015 so some of the information is a bit outdated, but it still contains many historical references that can be of interest.
We plan to update and/or update the information over the coming years, so stay tuned.

| Just In Time arrivals for bulkers and tankers – International Taskforce Port Call Optimisation together with BIMCO explains the principles. |
| The IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 Project is supporting shipping's transition towards a low carbon future. It also publishes resources on digitalization and greening. |
|
| Some IMO Circulars from FAL Committee related to Maritime ITS. Mostly on single window and related. |
|
| Information about the IMO Compendium and the IMO Reference Data Model which is an important focus point for current developments in maritime digitalization today. |
|
| The International Task Force on Port Call Optimization has provided several definitions for the port call process which will go into the ISO 28005-3 work on just in time arrival. |
| Reference data models from UNECE, including multi-modal transport model (MMT-RDM). |
| The World Ports Sustainability Program has published a call for action to Accelerating Digitalisation of Maritime Trade and Logistics. The document is available as PDF through the link. |
| Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach and C40 Cities to establish a Green and Digital Shipping Corridor. |
The following is a list of some protocols athat are proposed used or in use in maritime APIs.
Specifically for maritime single windows, this presentation gives an overview of some of most relevant protocols and initiatives.
| ISO has published ISO 28005-1 in 2013. It is currently being revised and will be published early 2014 as edition 2. |
| Applicability statement 4 (AS4) is a profile of OASIS ebMS 3.0 that is used by the EU in e-procurement and is also proposed as protocol for the European Maritime SIngle Window environment (EMSWe). It is also standardized as ISO 15000. |
| IEC has published IEC 63173-2 (SECOM) as a possible e-navigation API. |
| The Digital Container Shipping Alliance develops APIs used in the container shipping industry. |
| Digital Oceans is an initiative launched by MPA in Singapore to define APIs for port calls. |
| TIC 4.0 provides some digital specifications for the terminal industry. |
International Hydrographic Office (IHO) is the main organization responsible for the S-100 e-navigation framework and also a producer of geographic inromation related specifications. International Association for Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) is another of the main producers of e-navigation related specifications. This list contains some of the specifications that are relevant for ISTS.
| S-100 Universal Hydrographic Data Model |
|
| NIPWG S-131 Harbour Infrastructure (Working area) |
| G1159 Ship Reporting from a shore-based perspective |
|
| S-211 Port call message |
Smart Maritime Network has published guidelines and data models for noon at sea reporting. This material has also been rearranged by BIMCO as an input to IMO FAL with a view to include teh data model in the IMO Compendium. This means that noon at sea reporting also will be included in ISO 28005. The following resources are currently available.

ISO 28005 series specify an XML and HTTPS based protocol for construction of APIs, with particular emphasis on ship to land communication. The general principles of the ISO 28005 series can be found on this slide series.
The following resources are the Enterprise Architect (TM) electronic data model as well as the XSD file describing the different parts of the ISO 28005 message structure. The actual standard must be bought from ISO or your local national standards organization.
Note that the below supplied electronic documentation is not fully up to date. The standards are currently being reviewed and will be updated in early 2024. Thus, the following information should not be used in production systems.
|
| A simple example of how ISO 28005 will be used in just in time departure. |
|
| ISO 28005 syntax mapping to IMO Compendium reference model. |
| Enterprise Architect full UML model. |
| The corresponding XSD file. |
The use of internationally accepted digital signatures will be important for authentication, integrity checks and sometimes confidentiality of digital data exchanges, particularly when tehse are automated, and human operators are not able to directly do sanity checks of teh received information. The CySiMS project has produced some reports that are available through links below.
| D2.1 Digital signatures for nautical use: Analysis of requirements and possible solutions for an international maritime Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). |
|
| D2.2 Using digital signatures in the maritime domain: A suggested solution for an international maritime PKI. |
