Documents
‘Barge Documents’ option
The ‘’Barge Documents’’ option will provide the barge operator with an opportunity to upload a number of barge documents, certificates and photographs, for example PDF, XLS, DOC, JPG documents (the maximum allowed file size, for example 30 Mb, and allowed file extensions are yet to be decided).
For each document a description can be entered.
The documents can be added, replaced or removed at any time. In case the barge operator is changing, these barge documents will be archived (in case of minor name changes Pharox will have the option to keep the data).
The EBIS members can view these documents.
