Ship-Cargo Interface: Concept of Optimization, Using Risk Assessment Methods and Network Data Exchanging Technologies

The idea of the proposed concept is to optimize information exchange between ship managers and potential charterers. There are many attempts to create electronic system for facilitation of information exchange, but all of them are aimed to find solution in particular area: container or oil trade, collecting data on ships or some other Port State Control issues. Existing technical solutions in most cases are not taking into account possibility of data change, which may vary significantly during ship’s trip. Moreover, there is no deep analysis of each proposed variant, which can take into account all variable factors. Also – there is no complex solution, applicable to any ship / any cargo. Proposed concept describes the system of electronic data exchange, which assists in decision-making and based on risk assessment of changing scenario in the process of choosing the best solution for fixing the ship.
