EDIFACT as a basis for data exchange in maritime transport

Data exchange, or its unhindered flow, is a key to success of any company, including companies that operate within the maritime transport sector. Even though some companies and organizations still use obsolete methods of paper documents, an increasing number of them are turning to electronic data exchange, mainly EDIFACT and ebXML. EDIFACT consists of internationally agreed standards, and its intensive introduction into maritime transport sector, mainly seaports has begun to speed up the process of electronic data exchange and reduce errors. Unfortunately, paper document exchange is still maintained at less developed sea ports. Without automation or electronic exchange, such processes can be time consuming, which ultimately affects the performance of commercial and administrative operations. After the upgrade in 2017, EDIFACT has the potential to become the leading standard of electronic data exchange, since it can significantly boost communication and efficiency within the maritime transport sector.
