#32026R1233EU Specifications for the Maritime Single Window Common Addressing Service
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation sets the technical specifications for a common EU addressing service that helps maritime reporting systems connect automatically across Member States. It is designed for the European Maritime Single Window environment, where shipping companies, declarants, and data service providers submit required port and voyage data through system-to-system links. The main change is practical: senders should no longer need to manually configure or update connection details for each national maritime single window when endpoints or public certificates change. The system will use dynamic discovery, a central locator node, and national publisher nodes to retrieve current connection details, reducing errors, manual work, and integration costs for maritime digital reporting.

Key Changes
- Creates technical specifications for a common addressing service in the European Maritime Single Window environment
- Enables senders to retrieve current connection details for national maritime single windows automatically
- Requires a central locator node and Member State publisher nodes to support resilience and reduce manual configuration
Obligations
What this law requires
The common addressing service must enable senders to automatically retrieve the latest connection details of a maritime national single window reporting interface module before initiating a direct system-to-system connection.
The common addressing service must use dynamic discovery so that changes to reporting interface module endpoint information and public certificates can be handled without manual reconfiguration by senders.
Senders using system-to-system reporting must connect their AS4 access point to the relevant reporting interface module using the current connection details retrieved through the common addressing service.
The common addressing service must be based on the same technologies and standards used for the reporting interface module to ensure interoperability and reduce implementation costs.
