The Marine Vessel Pass (MVP) will digitalize the exchange of information between ships and port authorities. It will use a database managed by S&P Global MarketIntelligence to provide verified and secure credentials to vessels.

The trial will involve routes between the port of Rotterdam and Singapore and will focus on a six-nine month pilot phase. The goal is to reduce the time and resources needed for manual checks, improving operational efficiency, and reducing errors. If MVP is successful, it will make digital transactions in the maritime sector more secure, reliable, and efficient, paving the way for the digitalization of future operations.
