Dangerous goods documentation in intermodal transport is still largely paper, handed physically from shipper to carrier to terminal along the chain. This pilot digitalises that handover and makes it eFTI-compliant, using FENIX connectors for decentralised data exchange rather than routing everything through a single central platform.
Three use cases build on each other. The first digitalises the IMO dangerous goods declaration inside the transport management process of combined transport operators, aligned with the EDIGES standard for intermodal transport and involving logistics service providers, intermodal terminals, rail operators and intermodal operators. The second covers the hinterland leg of a maritime door-to-door dangerous goods shipment, generating an eFTI Common Dataset from intermodal hinterland transport documents, road consignment notes and manifests, and drawing on maritime data standards. The third connects eFTI platforms — starting with the German national gateway operated by Toll Collect and later other Member States — through the FENIX connector, including secure exchange with non-eFTI platforms and applications.
