1. Introduction
The European Union (EU), through a variety of EU Directives, has placed a requirement on Member States
to work with the European Commission and co-operate on data exchange by implementing a system to
capture data on vessel movements, dangerous cargoes, vessel safety, security information and the
disposal of waste within European waters.
The EU-wide system that will be used to satisfy the above requirements is called SafeSeaNet and MCA as
the responsible National Competent Authority, is tasked with developing and implementing a UK system
that will report to SafeSeaNet and the European Commission.
The UK system that MCA is developing and implementing is called the CONSOLIDATED EUROPEAN
REPORTING SYSTEM (CERS).
This document acts as a guide for working with the CERS/SVD system. Each single operation available to
the user is described on the next chapters. The Web application also possesses a help-online system to
provide the user with further detail.
