KALE AND IPCSA COLLABORATE TO DRIVE ADOPTION OF MARITIME SINGLE WINDOW FOR ELECTRONIC DATA EXCHANGE
The pair release whitepaper to address uncertainty surrounding the soon-to-be mandatory platform and call for maritime industry to prioritise digitalisation to improve efficiency
Mumbai, India, Tuesday 28th February 2023: Kale Logistics Solutions (Kale) and International Port Community Systems Association (IPCSA) have released a joint whitepaper to drive uptake of the Maritime Single Window (MSW) concept, ahead of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) January 2024 mandate for digital data exchange.
Kale’s MSW is a platform that enables information and documentation to be transferred electronically between maritime and port stakeholders, in accordance with IMO standards.
The whitepaper sets out usage guidelines for MSW and a framework for the complete life cycle of the solution to accelerate digital maturity in worldwide maritime operations.
“Some uncertainty remains about the need for and challenges regarding Maritime Single Window,” said Suneet Gupta, Global Head – Cargo Community Systems, Kale Logistics Solutions.
“This whitepaper plays a major role in clearing up the ambiguities regarding technology adoption and how MSW can seamlessly facilitate trade for the global maritime ecosystem.”
A digitised five-step process flow of the Maritime Single Window defined in the report starts with submission of the Notice of Arrival by the ship owner/agent, followed by notification of vessel and cargo information to the port by the shipping line.
An import manifest file can then be created and integrated into the Customs system online, IMO Standard FAL forms and certificates can be uploaded, and vessel arrival clearance can be given to the ship owner.
In the final step, the ship owner can seek and receive departure clearance, digitally.
The full system enables MSW stakeholders to monitor a vessel’s status in real time, ensuring information only needs to be inputted once and simplifying documentary procedures between all actors involved in sea-side operations.
Further benefits include enhanced crew and cargo safety, uninterrupted global supply chains, and data harmonisation, while also combatting illegal trade and malpractices associated with ship-shore interface.
“Maritime Single Window is going to be the future of maritime trade, and now the whole world is looking forward to the first of January 2024 when it will become a mandatory norm,” said Nico De Cauwer, Lead of Standards & Technology of IPCSA.
“The whitepaper stresses the enormous benefits achieved by contactless and paperless operations, which began during the pandemic, and hence became an important point of discussion.”
Amendments to the Facilitation (FAL) Convention by IMO’s Facilitation Committee will see the single window for data exchange become mandatory in ports around the world from 1st January 2024, marking a significant step in the acceleration of digitalisation in shipping.
“Kale is a pioneer in delivering IT solutions and hopes to drive the enhancement of port efficiency, sustainability, and more,” said Vineet Malhotra, Co-Founder and Director, Kale Logistics Solutions.
“With MSW becoming the major point of discussion in the world of maritime trade, stakeholders found a void in terms of guidance and this whitepaper addresses that void.”
Already discussed at the recent maritime symposium co-hosted by IMO, International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), and Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO), the pair’s whitepaper is billed for further discussion at the upcoming FAL committee meeting later this year.

Our Vision
The objective of SESAR is to modernise European ATM by defining, developing and delivering new or improved technologies and procedures (SESAR Solutions).
SESAR’s vision builds on the notion of trajectory-based operations’ and relies on the provision of air navigation services (ANS) in support of the execution of the business or mission trajectory — meaning that aircraft can fly their preferred trajectories without being constrained by airspace configurations.
SESAR Deployment Manager
The SESAR Deployment Manager (SDM) function is defined by the Article 9 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) N°409/2013. Under the oversight of the European Commission, the SDM function consists of the synchronisation and the coordination of the deployment of the Common Projects. A Common Project is a Commission Implementing Regulation which mandates the implementation of the most essential operational changes in the European ATM Master Plan by the Member States of the European Union and their operational stakeholders. The first Common Project is known as the Pilot Common Project (PCP) and is defined by the Regulation (EU) N°716/2014. The SDM synchronises and coordinates implementation against the SESAR Deployment Programme which is a project view of the Common Projects organizing their implementation into optimum sequences of activities by all the stakeholders required to implement. To develop and maintain the SESAR Deployment Programme in close consultation with all the stakeholders is another important task under the SDM function.
