The Consolidated European Reporting System (CERS) Workbook should be used by Masters, shipping agents and port authorities to provide mandatory port call, dangerous and polluting goods (hazmat) information, waste information and security information to the MCA.

If your shipping service:

  1. operates on a regular and scheduled basis

you may be eligible for exemption from providing security information prior to entry into a UK port.

Applications of exemption are made by email and must include:

  • your regular scheduled route, including the UNLOCODE of the port facilities between which the service operates
  • details of the vessel including name, IMO number, flag state and operator
