Configures resource categories such as Aids to Navigation, structures, equipment, and vessels. Administrators can define category codes, display order, identifier length, metadata templates, and data-generation rules for consistent MRN issuance.
Issues a new MRN based on configured categories and generation rules. Users can enter the resource name, resource type, owner organization, and public and active status, review the automatically generated MRN, and complete the issuance process. The standardized hierarchical structure enables unique and consistent identification of each maritime resource.
Searches issued MRNs by domain, active status, public status, or MRN. Users can review issued identifiers and their active and public status in a centralized interface for efficient issuance and operational monitoring.
Registers, views, and updates MRI identifier information, including the MRI code, name, domain, resource type, endpoint URL, and operational status. It also manages linked resource categories to maintain the relationship between each identifier and its applicable maritime resources.
Tests MRN issuance requests using protocol, IP, port, content type, application key, category, and metadata parameters. It validates HTTP and JSON request configurations before integration with external systems.
Manages user accounts by creating, viewing, and updating user information such as roles, status, department, and contact details. It also allows administrators to configure feature-level permissions so that access scope and usage rights can be systematically controlled for each user type, such as super users, administrators, operators, and reviewers.
FAQs

This enables consistent resource identification and management across different systems and maritime services.
What types of maritime resources can be assigned an MRN?
Can MRN issuance rules be configured for an organization’s resource structure?
