Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a digital communication system that allows the secure transfer of standardized business documents between different stakeholders. In the maritime sector, EDI is widely used for exchanging information such as shipping manifests, invoices, and customs declarations.
The implementation of EDI reduces paperwork, eliminates repetitive data entry, and minimizes human error. It ensures that data flows smoothly between shipping agents, port operators, and customs departments, resulting in faster clearance and better coordination across the logistics chain.
