Prototype of the Automatic Port Reporting system, part of the EfficienSea2 project

apr_prototype

This is a prototype of the Automatic Port Reporting (APR) system, part of the EfficienSea2 project.

The prototype is implemented using Django and Django REST Framework. This means that it requires Python to run.

The APR consist of three logical parts:

1. A database which associates a port with a list of request elements. For each association, a flag indicates whether the element is required, and a number indicates how many hours prior to arrival/departure it must be sent. The database is exposed via a REST API (web service), intented to facilitate building a graphical application for data entry. (Such an application has been developed during the project, but is not contained in this repository, as it is not open source).

2. An API for retrieving information about a port. This information is retrieved from another set of web services provided by BIMCO.

3. An API for submitting information to a port. In the current version of the prototype, the information is simply forwarded to the Danish National Single Window (SafeSeaNet) after being converted to an appropriate format.
