Manifest

Introduction

The Shortsea XML Manifest message library has been designed specifically for users and providers of shortsea transport. It is flexible and easy to use and provides the complete range of messages required for cargo manifest. The XML schemas are written to comply with UN/CEFACT’s global standards and have been developed using Core Component procedures. Shortsea XML Manifest is supported by most modern technology platforms and is suitable for both small and large organisations.

Processes supported

The Shortsea XML Manifest message is used for manifest documentation of cargo.

The following processes are supported:

1. Manifest: Initial documentation. Not all fields are required. The Manifest should be inserted as new Manifest.
2. Manifest Update: Further updates on Manifests. The tag content of the Manifest Update message should replace exising data from earlier Manifest and Manifest Update messages.
