# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/838 of 20 February 2019 on technical specifications for vessel tracking and tracing systems and repealing Regulation (EC) No 415/2007, Division 3.4.2: Ship static and voyage related data (Message 5)

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Table 3.3
Ship static and dynamic data report
Shall be set to 0 for inland vessels.
Best applicable vessel type shall be used for inland navigation (see APPENDIX C).
The dimensions shall be set to the maximum rectangle size of the convoy.
The decimetre accuracy of the inland information shall be rounded upwards.
The reference point information has to be taken out of the SSD interface sentence by distinguishing the field ‘source identifier’. Position reference point information with source identifier AI, has to be stored as internal one. Other source identifiers shall lead to reference point information for the external reference point.
The centimetre accuracy on the inland information shall be rounded upwards.
The ISRS Location Codes as part of the RIS Index shall be used derived from the European Reference Data Management System (ERDMS) kept by the European Commission.

Figure 3.1
Reference point for reported position and overall dimension of vessel/convoy
The dimension should be in the direction of the transmitted heading information (bow).
Reference point of reported position not available, but dimensions of vessel/convoy are available: A = C = 0 and B ≠ 0 and D ≠ 0.
Neither reference point of reported position nor dimensions of vessel/convoy are available: A = B = C = D = 0 (= default).
For use of the message table, A = most significant field. D = least significant field
