ISO/PAS 28005-2:2009 contains the definition of core data elements for use in electronic port clearance (EPC) messages. It contains definitions of core data elements for electronic messaging between ships and shore in the areas of safety, security and marine operations. It does not define any structuring of messages or provide any guidance on what information is required for a particular purpose; it is rather a general data dictionary for safety, security or operation-related maritime information.

It is intended for use in XML messages and will for that reason differ somewhat from the similar trade data elements directory (TDED) International Standard (ISO 7372).

The core data elements defined in ISO/PAS 28005-2:2009 are specified so that their meaning and interpretation in general shall be independent of the context they are used in.

ISO/PAS 28005-2:2009 does not define the message formats required to exchange information.

ISO/PAS 28005-2:2009 contains definitions of core data elements for electronic port clearance. These elements cover all requirements for ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship reporting as defined in the following.

1. All FAL standard declarations (FAL 1 to 7) as defined in the FAL Convention.
2. ISPS reporting requirements as defined in ISPS and MSC 1130.
3. All general ship reporting requirements as defined in IMO A.851]
4. Recommended reporting on ship generated waste as defined in MEPC 644 (mandatory within the European Union, as described in EU/2000/59).
5. Required reporting as defined in the bulk loading and unloading code IMO A.862.
6. ETA reporting to pilot station as defined in IMO A.960.

ISO/PAS 28005-2:2009 can also be used for information exchanges between the ship and the ship agent, the port as well as ship operator or manager. It will not necessarily cover issues such as customs clearance of imported or exported goods or transport service provisions to goods owners.

ISO/PAS 28005-1:2012 defines XML message structures for transmission or information between a ship or its representatives and certain organisations responsible for the processing of the ship's port clearance request. The information to be transferred is that which is defined by the FAL Convention and other related international instruments as defined by ISO 28005-2. These mesage structures are primarily intended for machine to machine data transfers.

ISO/PAS 28005-1:2012 allows different configurations of the single window (SW), from a minimum solution to support basic clearance requirements to a more complex system to facilitate more extensive cooperation between ship and shore organisations.

MSML enables security handling and since MSML concerns safety aspects there is information support for

• preventing accidents;
• minimizing extent of damage;
• minimizing criticality of consequences.

These aspects concern both vessel and bases ashore (denoted shore bases in this Publicly Available Specification).

MSML consists of the following constituents:

• data model that defines the data of interest. The basic parts of the data model are vessel static and dynamic areas, shore base static and dynamic areas and vessel shore base relation. Each of these can be created successively and thus validation can be made even if information is not complete;
• administrative support that defines the handling of the XML application instance as a file;
• security support that defines the handling of data security. MSML enables digital signatures and encryption via the W3C recommendations 'XML Encryption Syntax and Processing' and 'XML-Signature Syntax and Processing'.

This document is applicable to active source exploration with OBS, but also a useful reference to the passive source exploration with OBS. It can be used in seabed resource exploration, geological disaster surveillance and submarine geoscience research.

A correct execution of the sampling is essential when analysing fluids from lubricating and hydraulic oil systems.

In order to achieve reliable and comparable analysis results, the sampling must be performed under defined conditions and operating environment.

When the system has reached its operating temperature, a representative sample is extracted from where the fluid is in a turbulent flow condition. This method is called dynamic sampling. If this is not possible, the sample can be extracted from the system tank. This method is called static sampling.

ISO 28523:2009 specifies methods for both dynamic and static sampling in connection with collection in bottles.

For extraction of samples through a filtration kit for comparison with “master slides”, reference is made to the manuals from the suppliers of such equipment.

• to remove dirt from the erection, installation, and
• to demonstrate that the pipes and the system as a whole are sufficiently clean.

ISO 28522:2009 gives guidelines to ensure that pipes and components are mounted and tested correctly. It also gives practical conditions for the flushing oil and filter.

It indicates methods and equipment for the practical execution of the cleaning of specific parts of hydraulic systems with appurtenant components.

The purpose of the cleaning process is to remove installation dirt and to check that the piping and hydraulic system have been adequately cleaned.

The cleaning process of a system is considered a “washing through” process when the Reynolds number,R_e, u 3 000, and a flushing process when R_e W 3 000. The Reynolds number is an indicator of whether a fluid flow is considered laminar or turbulent.

ISO 28521:2009 presupposes that the pipe sections of the hydraulic system have been cleaned partly by pickling and partly by mechanical cleaning. It is furthermore assumed that both dynamic and static components from system suppliers are adequately clean when delivered.

The specifications given in ISO 28521:2009 are supplementary to, and not a replacement for, the guidelines specified by the various manufacturers. The manufacturer's guidelines, where available, take precedence.
