Modern CSN operations for maritime compliance.
SWAY CSN turns Sea Cargo Summary Notification filing into a guided, checkable workflow — from master and house cargo declarations through to a digitally signed, ICEGATE-format file.
Purpose-built for shipping lines, consolidators, freight forwarders and custodians filing under SCMTR. Structured masters, built-in validation, and a review checklist before anything is submitted.
A single secure workspace for the whole SCMTR filing cycle.
Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations require a Sea Cargo Summary Notification to be filed for every consignment — accurately, on time, and in ICEGATE's exact format. Doing that in spreadsheets means re-typing the same consignor, vessel and port details on every job, and finding mistakes only when ICEGATE rejects the file. SWAY CSN replaces that with a guided workspace. Reference data is captured once as masters and reused on every filing. Master and house cargo declarations are entered in a structured form that knows what SCMTR expects. The filing is reconciled and reviewed against a printable checklist, then produced as an ICEGATE-format JSON file and signed with your DSC token — all before it ever leaves your desk.

Check and file
Packages and gross weight on the master are checked against the total of its house declarations, and the mismatch is shown as you work — not after ICEGATE rejects the filing.

Built for Businesses That File
Under SCMTR
SWAY CSN is a filing workspace for the Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations. Shipping lines, consolidators and forwarders use it to capture master and house cargo declarations against reusable masters, reconcile packages and weights, review a complete checklist, and produce a digitally signed ICEGATE-format file — all from one secure application.
From masters to a signed filing, in four steps.
Every filing is built, checked and signed in one workspace.
- 01
Set up your masters
Capture vessels, parties, ports and customs locations once. Import them in bulk from Excel if you already hold them elsewhere.
- 02
Build the filing
Create a job, add each Master Consignment Declaration and its House Cargo Declarations. Pull repeated details from the master consignment instead of retyping them.
- 03
Check it before it goes
Run the checklist. Packages and weights are reconciled, mandatory fields are validated, and the whole filing can be reviewed on paper or on screen.
- 04
Sign and file
Produce the ICEGATE-format JSON, sign it with your DSC token, and submit. Amend the job later and file again whenever details change.
