The Open Marine Initiative is an undertaking by the leaders in the marine classified advertisements industry to create open, interoperable standards for boat specifications.

Put simply, the Initiative intends to set standards for trading data between its members, so that brokers only have to enter in their data once, in order to take full advantages of the services that a world of classified websites have to offer. Initiative members are also committed to sharing the data free of charge to the broker.
