Shared Data Requirements

• Form templates: For other than standard Veslink forms, form templates must match and have the same Form Identifier. The receiver can have their own forms in addition to the shared templates.

  • To share custom form templates, the sender must export them and send them to the receiver, who must import them.

• Vessel:

  • The IMO Number must be the same as the sender's, although the Vessel Name can be different.

  Otherwise, the receiver must have a Fuel Type defined to match any used on the form; they can have their own types in addition.

• Statement of Facts forms:

  • A Port Activity must be defined with the same name as any used on the form.

  • A Cargo must be defined with the same name as any referenced by a Port Activity.

• Cargo Handling forms: A Cargo must be defined with the same name as any referenced on the form.
