Ships and marine technology — General requirements for the asynchronous time-insensitive ship-shore data transmission

This document describes the requirements involved in ship to shore data communication between the shipboard data servers and the on-shore data servers. It provides information on:

— asynchronous communication;

— a method to measure end-to-end communication quality;

— transport integrity;

— transport security (e.g. encryption, authentication and authorization);

— management of data transmission (e.g. prioritization, logging, carrier awareness/management);

— communication optimization (e.g. deduplication, compression, resume, multiplexing);

— compliance with the data communication protocols, including but not limited to ISO 19847.

This document does not cover:

— the security of the data producer/consumer (e.g. identity management);

— communication equipment requirements;

— carrier performance requirements (e.g. bandwidth and latency).
