11APR2019 - NEWS - International Maritime Organization’s new global rule on electronic information exchange between ships and ports came into force from 08 April 2019

The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) new global rule on electronic information exchange between ships and ports has recently come into force. From 8 April, the new rule was mandated by the IMO for national governments and aims to make cross-border trade simpler. It will also ensure the logistics chain is more efficient for the more than ten billion tonnes of goods traded by sea across the globe every year. The standard is mandatory under IMO’s Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic (FAL Convention), and is part of a package of amendments under the revised Annex to the FAL Convention, which was adopted in 2016.
