0.     INTRODUCTION

       This specification provides the definition of the Bulk marine
       inspection summary report message (BMISRM) to be used in
       Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
       involved in administration, commerce and transport.

1.     SCOPE

1.1    Functional definition

       A message from an inspection company to bulk cargo buyers and
       sellers, ship and barge owners, agents, or customs, identifying
       significant transport dates and times, as well as cargo quality
       and quantity information.

1.2    Field of application

       The Bulk marine inspection summary report message may be used
       for both national and international applications. It is based
       on universal practice related to administration, commerce and
       transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
       industry.

1.3    Principles

       This message summarizes the flow of bulk marine cargo between
       seller and buyer as monitored by an inspection company, and is
       used for loss control. This message may also be used to replace
       the functions covered by time log information, certificate of
       analysis, and voyage analysis information as related to loss
       control and payment approval. This message can also be used to:
       - identify vessels, barges, tugs, ports and terminals, and
       associated voyage numbers
       - specify transportation details such as, docking dates and
       times, sea valve numbers, and vessel experience factors
       - specify bulk cargo by name, physical measurements and tests.
