From 19th May, 2012, the new EU Directive 2010/65/EU on reporting formalities, applicable to ships arriving at, or departing from, ports in the European Union, superseded Directive 2002/6/EC. The purpose is to simplify and harmonise the administrative procedures in maritime transport by standardising the electronic transmission of information and by rationalising reporting formalities. It targets the national maritime authorities of the Member States who will be obliged to accept all Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic (FAL) forms for the fulfilment of reporting. They also have to accept electronic reports and their transmission via a single window no later than the 1st of June 2015.

In connection that there is a huge steel production surplus in China, make us to be quite skeptical for Capers' performance at distant future)
