The Department for Transport (DFT) has been leading the UK’s cross-Government initiative to implement EU Directive 2010/65 (afterwards referred to as ‘the Directive’). The Directive introduces changes to the current maritime reporting process. It requires certain ships’ report information to be captured electronically and in advance. DFT has been working with the Home Office to deliver an electronic National Maritime Single Window (NMSW) to capture this data. The NMSW was launched as a ‘pilot’ project on 28 January 2016. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-national-maritime-single-window-launch-of-pilot for further information including guidelines for use during the pilot.
The purpose of this CIP is to advise you of the launch of the ‘pilot’ and explain the impact of the new arrangements on existing Customs ships’ reporting requirements.
