The Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure of Croatia (MSTI) as state public body responsible, inter alia, for the national maritime safety and transport, invests permanently in raising safety at sea and in the ports and aims to improve and speed up port procedures regarding ships arriving and departing from ports.
MSTI established and constantly upgrades national maritime single window (NSW) in order to achieve harmonized, stable and reliable electronic platform for fast and safe exchange of maritime data between all relevant stakeholders including shipping industry and port operators.
In order to further improve data exchange between the ports and competent national maritime authorities, MSTI and ports identified the need to bind the NSW and existing port IT systems via web services in order to raise the quality and timelines of data exchange.
