Smart Container as a Data Sharing Enabler

. Smart containers offer an end-to-end visibility of shipment execution

Stakeholders: shipping lines, freight forwarders, Beneficial Cargo Owners, cross-border agencies and port authorities, etc.

Deployment and benefits of smart containers:. Smart containers in support of smart ports and terminals by enhancing local monitoring and dangerous goods management (unplugged Reefer alerts, idle cargo, planning), etc.. Smart containers in support of fast lanes by enhancing documents sharing (secure element) and “reality” versus “declarations” matching (Provenance traceability, open door detection, physical parameters monitoring), etc.

What is the Role of the SMDG?

. Gathering requirements and new processes definition

- The right audience and expertise for gathering requirements (what data should

be captured and shared?) and new process definition integrating the smart

container new flow of data (what KPI to be enhanced and how).

. New EDI messages in support of the new data flow

- Dangerous goods management

- Cross border-agencies

- For declarations and certifications availability
