Panama Canal Implements

Vessel Tracking System

Beginning April 1, 2004, and to be fully implemented on July 1, 2004, the

Panama Canal Authority (ACP) will begin using a new system to send and receive data to and from vessels plan- ning to transit the Canal. Called the

Automated Data Collection System (ADCS), the new system will eliminate the current process of data collection via paper, substituting it with an electronic exchange of information between the

ACP and its customers. Vessels transit- ing the Canal will be required to report all necessary data 96 hours before arrival. To comply with the new secu- rity requirements included in the

International Ship and Port Facility

Security Code (ISPS), the ADCS will improve and facilitate the process of data submission needed for risk assess- ments and transit operations. The

ADCS should save time, lessen human error and reduce delays.

Korean and Chinese yards on behalf of
