This paper gives a systematical study on developing the prototype of the value-added information system of the port and shipping EDI(Electronic Data Interchange). It includes: the function defining of the value-added information system, the basic principle and application of EDI information organizing and transforming; the realization of the prototype of the value-added information system of port and shipping EDI. The conclusions we have drawn are as follows: 1. With the data digging from the rough date transferred through the port and shipping EDI platform, so many functions of the value-added information can be realized such as container market analyzing, the compiling and analyzing of container freight index and the optimization pf the container management, etc. 2. The information transferred through the current port and shipping EDI platform cover all of the sections of the container transportation flow. As the rough data are out of the order, it is necessary to transform the rough data into primary data and value-added information.3. The system architecture of the value-added information system of port and shipping EDI is B/S with N layers, and the developing technology is PB as major.
