[F1ANNEX III U.K. ELECTRONIC MESSAGES AND THE UNION MARITIME INFORMATION AND EXCHANGE SYSTEM (SAFESEANET)

3. Exchange and sharing of data U.K.

The system shall use industry standards and be able to interact with public and private systems used to create, provide or receive information within SafeSeaNet.

The Commission and the Member States shall cooperate in order to examine the feasibility and development of functionalities that as far as possible will ensure that the data providers, including masters, owners, agents, operators, shippers and relevant authorities, need to submit information only once, taking due account of the obligations in Directive 2010/65/EU (1) and other relevant Union legislation. Member States shall ensure that the information submitted is available for use in all relevant reporting, notification, information sharing and VTMIS systems.

Member States shall develop and maintain the necessary interfaces for automatic transmission of data by electronic means to SafeSeaNet.

The central SafeSeaNet shall be used for the distribution of electronic messages and data exchanged or shared in accordance with this Directive and relevant Union legislation, inter alia:

The operation of the SafeSeaNet system should support the facilitation and establishment of the European Maritime Transport Space without Barriers.

Where internationally-adopted rules allow routing of LRIT information concerning third country vessels, SafeSeaNet networks shall be used to distribute amongst Member States, with an appropriate level of security, the LRIT information received in accordance with Article 6b of this Directive.]
