Simplifying reporting formalities – National Single Window

The National Single Window enables data flows between the shipping industry and national authorities. Maritime information only needs to be reported once by ship data providers in order for it to be relayed to all relevant authorities whether, port, maritime, safety, security, customs, border control or health. In this way, EMSA is supporting the implementation of the Reporting Formalities Directive to simplify and harmonise the administrative procedures involved in maritime transport.
