It is very important to note that Shipdex is a S1000D compliant set of rules (protocol) that standardizes SHIP Data EXchange only; its scope is the data/information usually contained in technical documentation/manuals. Shipdex IS NOT a standard for production of technical manuals or electronic manuals, though Shidex Data Modules can be reused for that purpose, as they can be reused to produce IETP.

One question that have been often risen when considering a move to Shipdex is whether it is, and will always be, the only standard for ship technical data exchange and technical documentation systems, or if there will be another one or more. I think that the answer to this question is very simple – although there are many standards in the world for tagging documentation or exchange technical data, there is only one standard in the world for documentation and data exchange for transport equipment and industry, called S1000D, and being SHIPDEX fully compliant with S1000D it will be for sure the logical unique consolidated standard for the shipping industry.

The seventh successive annual Tripartite Meeting, and eighth overall, took place 8-9 November 2008 in Beijing, China. The enduring aim of this series is to bring together senior representatives from the three main sectors involved in designing and building ships (ship owners, shipbuilders and classification societies) to discuss the issues and problems of the day, to propose proactive ways of moving forward and means to achieve new goals of excellence. In the meeting also the The standardisation and general quality improvement of operating manuals/databases was proposed by BIMCO President Philip Embiricos, who cited several examples to illustrate the risks involved with the inadequate content, formatting and presentation of such manuals. In this regard, the Tripartite supported the promotion of a greater use of the IACS Recommendation 71, Guide For The Development of Shipboard Technical Manuals, including its reference in shipbuilding contracts, as well as further review to help ensure its maximum effectiveness. Additionally, it was suggested that the Tripartite could develop an industry best practice reference guide.
In this case Shipdex can fully satisfy the requirements risen by BIMCO, IACS and Tripartite board, and it will not be necessary to develop industry best practice beeing already very well established by Shipdex Protcol. As Chairman of Shipdex SPMG (Shipdex Protocol Maintenance Group) and Founder Member of Shipdex Protocol I will invite BIMCO, IACS and Tripartite board to consider Shipdex as a IETP (Interactive Electronic Technical Publication) Standard for the shipping industry.
