Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic, 1965.
The Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic, 1965, simplifies and reduces the formalities, documentation, and procedures applied to ships on arrival, stay, and departure. In force since 5 March 1967, it sets standardized FAL forms and, since amendments in force from 1 January 2024, mandates electronic single-window data exchange between ships and ports for most contracting governments.
