• Electronic business document exchanging requirement. EDI is a traditional method to satisfy this requirement since the 1980s.
• Status tracking and query requirement. This requirement has become more and more important as long as business and technology development. It is one important part of NEAL-NET’s work.
Query cross enterprise
Basic Requirements of Logistic Information Sharing
Northeast Asia Logistics Information Service Network 2012
Work Ethic of NEAL-NET
– NEAL-NET considers the logistics information sharing with a high level view throughout entire supply chain. Based on the analysis of logistics business of supply chain, NEAL-NET defined public logistics nodes, such as highway freight stations, airports, railway freight stations and ports
– NEAL-NET itself doesn’t generate any logistics information. The major task of NEAL-NET is to define the interface standards of each public logistics nodes. And then promote the logistics nodes to reform their interfaces in accordance with these standards to realize cross nodes data sharing

NEAL-NET Working Phases
• At current stage, NEAL-NET cooperation mainly focuses on International Marine Transport.
• In the near future, logistics information sharing could be expanded to aviation and surface transport area

NEAL-NET Standard
– NEAL-NET’s logistics information sharing standards including data elements, code sets and interface format. It is called NEAL-NETStandards.
– NEAL-NET Standards adopt a framework which is suitable for status sharing.
– Interface using Web Service and SOAP message for data transmission.

Dynamic Vessel Status and Container Status Sharing Standard
– First step, we defined dynamic container vessel status sharing interface
– 9 basic events of dynamic vessel schedule and container status are abstracted and technical framework is designed.
• vessel properties: ETA, ATA,CY-Open, CY-Cut and ATD• container properties: Unloading, Container Gate Out, Container Gate In,
Loading

• NEAL-NET Pilots Achievement
Northeast Asia Logistics Information Service Network 2012
– In order to evaluate the function of interface, pilots were performed by selecting typical platforms and ports in China, Japan and Korea respectively to implement NEAL-NET standards• Chinese side selected National Public Information Sharing Platform for
Transportation & Logistics (LOGINK) and Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to join evaluation
• Japanese side selected Tokyo-Yokohama Port to join evaluation• Korean side selected SPIDC as Korean platform and Busan Port to join
evaluation

NEAL-NET logistics information inquiry system
Business data repository system
– Ningbo port NEAL-NET pilot project is composed of 2 system components:• Interface system of NEAL-NET• Business data repository system, which duplicates status data– The 2 systems interface communicate with each other by NEAL-NET Event

NEAL-NET Pilot Project- Ningbo Port Interface Modification
Northeast Asia Logistics Information Service Network 2012
– Constructed query page of dynamic vessel status on the NEAL-NET home page. User can query the three countries' container vessel status.
– China side selected COSCON (E-commerce platform), COSCO Logistics (internal business system), Zhejiang Electronic Port (software of freight forwarder) and so on, had conducted the software interface reformation so as to query the interface. The functions of interface and standards were verified comprehensively. Reached first stage achievement and got highly appraise from user.

– Japan side: developed interface query page to evaluate the function of the interface.
– Mar, 2012, Japan side finished linkage project of NEAL-NET Interface and center database.
– Pilot project reached first phase achievement.

Northeast Asia Logistics Information Service Network 2012
– Provide standard ports’ logistics status information query channel• Change the situation that most of small and medium-sized enterprises can
only get information on the website of ports• Unified status data query standard enables users to acquire logistics
status information by doing the interface modification only once, saving modification costs for enterprises
– Improve data timeliness significantly by changing information transmit method from layer by layer to direct inquiry
– Enterprises could arrange production activities in advance according to status information, increasing efficiency and reducing operations costs
