ISO 28005-2:20 11包含促进船舶和海岸之间电子信息高效交换以进行沿海运输或港口停靠的技术规范。它旨在涵盖主要与船舶与港口和沿海国当局之间关系有关的安全和安保信息要求。 ISO 28005-2:20 11包含用于电子口岸通关（EPC）消息的核心数据元素的定义。它包含安全、安保和海上作业领域船舶和岸上之间电子消息传递的核心数据元素的定义。它没有定义消息的任何结构，也没有就特定目的需要哪些信息提供任何指导；它更像是一个用于安全、安保或操作的通用数据字典-相关海事信息。 它旨在用于XML消息，因此与类似的贸易数据元素目录（TDED）国际标准ISO 7372有些不同。 ISO 28005-2:20 11中定义的核心数据元素的规定使得其含义和解释通常独立于其使用的上下文。 ISO 28005-2:20 11没有定义交换信息所需的消息格式。 ISO 28005-2:20 11包含EPC核心数据元素的定义。这些要素涵盖了下文定义的船到岸和岸到船报告的所有要求。 FAL公约中定义的所有FAL标准声明（FAL 1至7）。 ISP和MSC 1305中定义的ISP报告要求。 IMO决议A中定义的所有一般船舶报告要求。851. 建议报告MEPC 644中定义的船舶产生的废物（欧盟内部是强制性的，如EU/2000/59中所述）。 散装装卸规范IMO决议A.862中定义的所需报告。 按照IMO决议A.960的规定向引航站报告ETA。 ISO 28005-2:20 11也可用于船舶与船舶代理人、港口和船舶经营者或管理者之间的信息交流。它不一定涵盖进出口货物清关或向货主提供运输服务等问题。

ISO 28005-2:2011 contains technical specifications that facilitate efficient exchange of electronic information between ships and shore for coastal transit or port calls. It is intended to cover safety and security information requirements related mainly to the relationships between the ship and the port and coastal state authorities. ISO 28005-2:2011 contains the definition of core data elements for use in electronic port clearance (EPC) messages. It contains definitions of core data elements for electronic messaging between ships and shore in the areas of safety, security and marine operations. It does not define any structuring of messages or provide any guidance on what information is required for a particular purpose; it is rather a general data dictionary for safety, security or operation-related maritime information. It is intended for use in XML messages and will for that reason differ somewhat from the similar trade data elements directory (TDED) International Standard, ISO 7372. The core data elements defined in ISO 28005-2:2011 are specified so that their meaning and interpretation in general are independent of the context in which they are used. ISO 28005-2:2011 does not define the message formats required to exchange information. ISO 28005-2:2011 contains definitions of core data elements for EPC. These elements cover all requirements for ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship reporting as defined in the following.

• All FAL standard declarations (FAL 1 to 7) as defined in the FAL Convention.
• ISPS reporting requirements as defined in ISPS and MSC 1305.
• All general ship reporting requirements as defined in IMO Resolution A.851.
• Recommended reporting on ship-generated waste as defined in MEPC 644 (mandatory within the European Union, as described in EU/2000/59).
• Required reporting as defined in the bulk loading and unloading code IMO Resolution A.862.
• ETA reporting to pilot station as defined in IMO Resolution A.960.

ISO 28005-2:2011 can also be used for information exchanges between the ship and the ship agent, the port and ship operator or manager. It will not necessarily cover issues such as customs clearance of imported or exported goods or transport service provisions to goods owners.
