History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 488390-05 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The "Marine Documentation" industry has been an essential part of the maritime sector for centuries. The earliest known documentation of ships dates back to ancient Egypt, where hieroglyphics depicted ships and their cargo. In the Middle Ages, ship logs were used to record the ship's course, speed, and weather conditions. The first official ship registry was established in the 18th century by the British government, which required all ships to be registered and carry a certificate of registry. In the United States, the first federal law regulating shipping documentation was passed in 1792, which required all vessels to be registered and carry a manifest of cargo. In recent years, the industry has seen significant advancements in technology, with the introduction of electronic documentation systems, such as the Automated Manifest System (AMS) and the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), which have streamlined the documentation process and improved efficiency.
