Single Window

Transport and logistics research and innovation company Inlecom Systems Ltd has launched the first ever guide and checklist to enable maritime authorities and trade organisations to fulfil their obligation to deliver ship reporting formalities in electronic format via a single window.

Under the EU Directive 2010/65/EU, commonly known as the ‘FAL Directive’, Member States are mandated to adopt a single window system no later than 1 June 2015.

The development of the Guide & Check List by Inlecom has been undertaken within the eMAR research and development project, which has been part funded by DG MOVE the European Commission’s executive body responsible for Mobility and Transport. It has been designed to help authorities to take advantage of the new directive to both ease administrative burden and improve cooperation between maritime organisations.
