Q3: Would the consignee, shipper, or notify parties connected to a vessel IMO benefit the client?

Q4: Would real time AIS shipping data with vessel name and position data combined with corporate data assist the US Army Corps of Engineers and this solicitation?

Q5: If a provider cannot provide one of the requested fields, will they be disqualified? A number of the requested fields have nominal value.

A5: Disqualification will not be automatic. Some are of nominal value individually but collectively they may help USACE form a more complete vessel specification profile. In this context it also matters what the availability or data fill is for the other fields as well.
