ISO 22853:2005 specifies the XML application MSML (Maritime Safety Markup Language). MSML is a language for structuring information and the goal is to create an open standard that can be used generally in the maritime sector. MSML is implemented using XML Schema, which is contained in a separate document that could be used at validation. The first purpose of MSML is to make it possible to record safety related information in relation to repair and maintenance. The second purpose is to define an extensible structure that could be developed in future versions of MSML. Note that MSML should not primarily be seen as a support for normal work onboard. Instead, it is an add-on support for transfers of safety related information to/from the vessel.
