Notification of exit (seagoing ship)
Used by the Port Authority to inform the Customs authorities, via APICS, when a seagoing ship unmoors from its berth and leaves the port via the lock.
This message is used to inform Customs electronically of a ship leaving the port of Antwerp.
How does it work?
APICS sends a CUSREP message to Customs at the moment when a seagoing ship actually casts off from its berth. When the ship casts off in the lock and subsequently leaves the port area (Belgian/Dutch border), an updated CUSREP message is sent.
Advantages
- Customs are better informed of the actual exit movement
