Description of the business rules

Used in data element

  

BR 00

In general, free text should not be used in case coded information is available

Date time values are always provided with the indication of time zone

The recommended unit to be used is KGM

Leading zeroes shall not be used for numerical values.  Trailing zeroes should only be used to indicate precision.

The recommended units to be used are: LTR, MTQ

The recommended units to be used for quantity values are: KGM, TNE, MTQ, LTR, NAR

Port facility's codes can be found in the IMO GISIS maritime security database

A value must be provided if the value for IMO0178 is "0"

The ship-to-ship activity's location may be either LOCODE, latitude and longitude, or location name

If filled, the respective value of data element must be more
than 0

The recommended values to be used are 36 (Identity card) or 101 (registration document) or 39 (Passport)

The recommended references to be used are:

The description format is dependent on the cargo unit type (container, bulk, etc.) as well as the type of ship (RORO, deep sea container, feeder, etc.).
According with ISO Standard 28005-2, it is a string with one upper case letter specifying the type of location code, a colon (:) and then the actual location code. The following clauses specify the type of coding, the coding letter and the format of the code.
1)    Container ship – Code "C": A string of digits in the form BBRRTT where BB is the bay number, RR is the row number and TT is the tier number. This shall be coded according to ISO 9711-1. This includes leading zeros where necessary. As an example, "C:010212" means container in bay 1, row 2 and tier 12.
2)    Container feeder – Code “F”: A string of digits in the form HHHTTRR where HHH is the hatch number, TT is the tier number and RR is the row number. All fields shall be filled with leading zeros. As an example "F:0010204" means hatch 1, tier 2 and row 4.
3)    RORO – Code "R": A string of digits in the form DDBBBRRTT where DD is deck, BBB is bay, RR is row and TT is tier. As an example "R:030100204" means deck 3, bay 10, row 2 and tier 4.
4)    General cargo – Code "G": A string of characters in the format CCS or CCSDDD, where CC is the cell number, S is side of ship ("S" – starboard, "P" – port side and "C" – centre), and DDD is an optional code specifying deck (WED – weather deck, TDn – tween deck n, where n is a digit zero to nine and LOH is lower hold deck).
5)    Bulk vessel, including tankers – Code "B": The tank or hold number as numeral or other coding as used on board.
6)    Other – Code "O": Free text description.

Another common practice for RORO is to use the following description format:

DECK/LANE/POSITION(FOR or FRN)/LEVEL
•DECK number: counted from bottom to top
•LANE number: counted from port to starboard
•POSITION: distance measured in meters either from forward (FOR) or from frame number (FRN) to the centre of the cargo unit (which option is used has to be clearly indicated when providing the information
•LEVEL number: counted from bottom to top (on a single deck where it is possible to stow in multiple levels)

For tankers, the following description is commonly used:
3 characters for the tank number (01, 02, etc.) with a further indication: S (Starboard), P (Portside), C (Centre), F (Forward) or A (Aft).

IMO0045

To be provided in chronological order with the most recent first

The unit to be used is MTQ

The unit to be used is LTR

An entry must be provided if the value for IMO0067 is "0".

The unit to be used is KGM.

The unit to be used is LTR.

For all measurement items (e.g. volume, weight, mass, quantity) the indication of the unit is provided through IMO0077.

BR 19

For all free text items or data elements related to text, the provision of the language code is necessary

If the country of birth is not listed in code list 3166-1 the country of birth needs to be indicated in IMO0106 (Person place of birth)

The name of a port always includes the port name and the country name.
The format is: PortName, CountryName

The facility name of a port of call includes the facility name and country of a port of call. The format is:

CountryName,

PortName, FacilityName

The format to be used is: FamilyName, GivenName

In case of MDH, state the list of port calls taken by the ship in the last thirty days, or during this voyage, whichever is shortest

An entry must be provided if the value for IMO0203 (Visited affected area indicator) is "1"

If yes, state particulars in the person level list of ill persons of the Maritime Declaration Health

If no surgeon on board refer to the attached note when determining if a communicable disease is on board; Note:  In the absence of a surgeon, the master should regard the following symptoms as grounds for suspecting the existence of a disease of an infectious nature: (a) fever, persisting for several days or accompanied by (i) prostration; (ii) decreased consciousness; (iii) glandular swelling; (iv) jaundice; (v) cough or shortness of breath; (vi) unusual bleeding; or (vii) paralysis. (b) with or without fever: (i) any acute skin rash or eruption; (ii) severe vomiting (other than sea sickness); (iii) severe diarrhoea; or (iv) recurrent convulsions

If the person was evacuated state the location (including the name of the port or airport) to which the person was evacuated to in the attached schedule

Code D should be used to calculate the number of deaths during the voyage.

Not needed if UNLOCODE provided in IMO0091 or Port facility code provided in IMO0245

Only date needed for MDH but date and time needed for stowaway
