1. What is the ACD

An ACD (Advance Cargo Declaration) certificate, also known as an Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN), is a document required by some countries for shipments entering their ports. It serves as a control and tracking mechanism for maritime cargo. The ACD contains information about the shipped cargo, such as its nature, quantity, origin, destination, and other relevant details. It's typically generated electronically and submitted to the authorities of the destination port before the vessel carrying the cargo arrives. This certificate enables customs authorities to monitor and regulate incoming shipments, ensuring compliance with trade regulations and facilitating efficient cargo handling processes.

2. ACD as a driver of Sustainability

The Advance Cargo Declaration (ACD) and sustainability are intertwined through their impact on global trade and environmental stewardship.

The Problem

Identifying the Core Issue

The financing systems for new power projects are as unwieldy, inflexible and inefficient as the physical systems. We are designing an end-to-end solution for energy finance, generation, payment, and revenue recognition that will empower approximately 1.2 billion people who still lack electricity access, and grow their economies.

Efficient Transport Management

ACD systems facilitate the tracking of cargo movements, thereby enhancing efficiency in transport logistics. By reducing paperwork and streamlining processes, they contribute to reducing delays and optimising routes, thereby minimising fuel consumption and emissions associated with transportation.

Resource Conservation

Sustainability involves the responsible use of resources. ACD systems can help in the better utilisation of transportation resources by providing real-time information about cargo movements. This enables the optimisation of cargo loads and routes, reducing empty trips and unnecessary fuel consumption, thereby conserving resources and minimising environmental impact.

Regulatory Compliance

Many countries require ACD as a regulatory measure to monitor and control imports and exports. These regulations may include environmental protection measures, such as ensuring compliance with the transportation of hazardous materials. By enforcing such laws, ACD contributes to sustainability by preventing ecological damage resulting from the improper handling of goods.

Transparency and Accountability

ACD systems provide transparency in cargo movements by electronically documenting the journey of goods. This transparency fosters accountability among stakeholders, encouraging adherence to environmental standards and sustainable practices throughout the supply chain.

Risk Mitigation

ACD systems help mitigate risks associated with illegal or unsustainable trade practices, such as the smuggling of endangered species or hazardous materials. By monitoring and documenting cargo movements, these systems enable authorities to identify and intercept illicit activities that harm the environment, thus contributing to sustainability efforts.

Conclusion

Overall, the relationship between ACD and sustainability lies in their shared goal of promoting efficient, transparent, and responsible practices in global trade, leading to reduced environmental impact and long-term ecological balance.

3. What is the role of an ACD agent?

An ACD agent plays a crucial role in facilitating the issuance of Advance Cargo Declarations (ACDs) for shipments. Here are some of the typical tasks Sustain and Able may perform:

Application Processing

Sustain and Able receives applications from exporters or their representatives for the issuance of ACDs. We also collect all necessary information and documentation related to the cargo being shipped.

Documentation Preparation

Based on the information provided, Sustain and Able prepare the required documentation for the ACD application. This may include details such as the nature of the cargo, quantity, origin, destination, vessel information, and other relevant data.

Submission to Authorities

Once the documentation is prepared, Sustain and Able submit the ACD application to the relevant authorities of the destination port or country. This is usually done electronically through the designated platform or system.

Communication and Follow-up

Sustain and Able liaise with the authorities and communicate any additional requirements or clarifications needed for the ACD application. We may also follow up on the status of the application and ensure that it is processed promptly.

Issuance of ACDs

Upon approval from the authorities, Sustain and Able will facilitate the issuance of the ACDs for the respective shipments. We ensure that the ACD numbers are correctly assigned and communicated to the relevant parties involved in the shipping process

Compliance and Regulation

Sustain and Able stay up-to-date on the regulations and requirements related to ACDs in various countries and ports. They ensure that all ACD applications comply with the applicable rules to avoid any delays or penalties in the shipping process.
