What changed
Dates and sourced facts are shown separately from ShipPrompt’s product inference. “Test” means validate in a bounded workflow; “Watch” means no immediate build commitment.
Vanuatu identified practical next steps for a Maritime Single Window after an 18–20 August national seminar.
Port profiles should track digital-clearance readiness, required datasets and the authority/source that verified each requirement.

| Data type | Minimum record | Decision rule |
|---|---|---|
| AIS / vessel position | IMO or MMSI, provider, position time, received time, cache state, speed/course, destination | Show stale or conflicting data; never label it live without a timestamp |
| Freight estimation | Distance basis, sea/port days, consumption, price, hire, port costs, commission, cargo capacity | Version formula and assumptions; separate market input from calculation |
| Port information | Draft, dimensions, berth/anchorage, handling, tariffs, clearance documents, source and checked date | Expire records and request reconfirmation before a firm decision |
| Bunker data | Port, grade/specification, supplier, price basis, quote time, currency, validity, taxes, payment and delivery | No undated price tables; compare like-for-like offers only |
