SMDG Mission
SMDG (Ship Message Design Group) is a non-profit organization, run by
and on behalf of companies and organizations working in the maritime
industry: container terminals, ocean carriers, software vendors and
related organizations (UN/ECFEACT, DCSA, ITIGG, PROTECT,…).
SMDG develops, maintains and promotes
the use of EDI messages and their best practices for the maritime industry.
The SMDG is recognized by the UN/EDIFACT Board as
official Global User Group.

Since 1987 SMDG develops and promotes UN/EDIFACT EDI-messages for the Maritime
Industry and is an official Pan European User Group, recognised by the UN/CEFACT body
Message structures essential to the use of electronic commerce in the transport sector have
been agreed and approved by the relevant United Nations and local authorities, have been
implemented by various communities around the world over the past 20+ years.
SMDG documentation can be downloaded by any interested party
free-of-charge from the SMDG website: www.smdg.org

• TPFREP (Terminal Performance Report)
Long wish list had piled up since last upgrade in 2011. It is fully covered now by the new version 4.1 which
was published in May 2021.
• IFTSAI Vessel Schedule
Enhancements for reporting from Barge operator to terminal, for reporting connecting vessels, for additional
cut-off dates etc. under development
• VGM and VERMAS
VERMAS was developed as a completely new message type in 2016, for reporting of Verified Gross Mass as
per IMO / SOLAS convention. It has become the world standard in short time. No enhancement request were
tabled that would justify a new version.
• IFTMBF for exchange of DG bookings between shipping lines
SMDG has assumed responsibility for this special variant of the IFTMBF and published the MIG on our
website.In the pipeline • MOVINS (Stowage Move Instruction) Major redesign, in line with the new BAPLIE 3.1 - MOVINS and BAPLIE go hand in hand in the stowage planning process • TANSTA (Tank Status Message) Redesign is required by shipping lines and software vendors. • Repair Estimate from the container repair shop to the container operator. Redesign of the DESTIM and WESTIM messages. • ConRo vessels Support the special data transmission needs regarding vessels for both RoRo and Containers to be loaded.
SMDG Code lists 1/2 The code lists are maintained and published by the SMDG and are widely recognized SMDG Liner codes = vessel operator codes SMDG Terminal codes = more detailed level than port UN/LOCODE. Recognized as «child code list» under the UN/LOCODE. Also available via the API provided by the BIC.
SMDG Code lists 2/2 The code lists are maintained and published by the SMDG and are widely recognized SMDG Handling codes = Terminal handling instruction or Stowage instruction SMDG Delay Reason codes = Delays in vessel schedule or in terminal operation
SMDG Recommendations
The Recommendations for standardization requirements that are not otherwise
covered are widely recognized. Examples:
1. Tier numbering = How to define stow positions for vessels with more than 9 tiers on deck
that are not covered by ISO 9711
2. Containers with non-ISO ID = How to handle a container number without alpha-prefix
6. Best practices - use of message formats for standard business use cases between a carrier and a terminal
New recommendation under development:
8. Empty tankcontainer with residue – reporting in Edifact message
