Ship Registers

Workflow

1. Determine relevant ship register type.
2. Extract available vessel registration fields.
3. Normalize vessel and status identifiers.
4. Return structured dataset with provenance.

Human setup (when needed)

• If register browsing/export is manual-only, guide user through the process and continue from supplied results.

Quality checks

• Keep register type explicit in outputs.
• Separate active registration from historical/inactive states.

Access reality

• Public access type: UI page with direct downloadable files.
• Verification run: 2026-02-24.
• https://www.transpordiamet.ee/en/vehicle-ship-airplane/ships/estonian-ship-registers (HTTP 200, text/html;, file links detected: 12)

Request contract

• Use the listed primary endpoints as authoritative entry points.
• If API/query parameters are only visible in-browser, preserve exact request URL, params, and headers in output metadata.
• If endpoint is UI-only, document click path and extraction method used.

Output schema expectations

• Keep at least: source URL, retrieval timestamp, publication/update date (if available), title/record label, and extracted governance-relevant fields.
• Preserve original field names when present in downloadable/API output.

Limits and caveats

• Confirm whether data is open-download, UI-only, or authenticated before claiming full access.
• Separate narrative/guidance text from measurable records.

Verification hooks

• Validate endpoint reachability and content type before extraction.
• Validate that each extracted claim is linked to a concrete source URL.
