# Transferring SMF-3 (SC)
Shipping companies transferring SMF-3 to a company with an account should follow these steps. If the receiving party does not have an account, see "Retiring SMF-3 for off platform customers (SC)".
**1)** In the "Holdings" section of your account, you should select the SMF-3 that you would like to transfer. When selected, a "transfer" button will appear on the bottom of the screen, highlighted in red below. Click this button.
*Note: If the receiving party is a Facilitator Account, see “Assigning SMF-3 (SC).”*
**2)** A pop-up box will appear and ask you to select whether credits should be included in the calculations on the platform and what the fossil baseline of reference should be to calculate the emission savings. Further information about these baselines can be found on Katalist's documentation page and in Annex VIII of the manual.
**3)** After selecting the fossil baseline of reference and whether credits will be included, you will be prompted to indicate whether transport work information should be included in the transfer. You may choose to reflect transport work associated only with the sustainable marine fuel (SMF) consumed, or with total fuel consumption, including conventional fuels (e.g., pilot fuels). If transport work information is included, the receiving party will be able to view the data as displayed below. If it is not included, no transport work information will be visible to the receiving party. For details on the calculation methodology, please refer to Annex IX of the Katalist Manual.
**4)** Then, you will be prompted to select the number of SMF-3, emission savings, or transport work you would like to transfer. Once you enter a value in any of the fields, the others will be populated with the corresponding values, as shown below. If you would like to transfer all SMF-3 available, select "MAX".
**5)** You will be asked to input the account name and ID of the receiving party. If you have already sent SMF-3 to this company and saved them as a "trusted account" (see step 7), you can select them from the drop-down list.
**6)** If you would like to include a comment in the retirement statement, e.g., contract information relevant to the receiving party, you can select the toggle that allows this and write the relevant information.
**7)** Once all the information for this transfer has been filled in, you can choose to include the receiving party as a "trusted account". If you select this, in future transfers you can select their account from the drop-down box (see step 5).
**8)** When you click submit, a new pop-up box will appear informing you of the next steps. First, the receiving party will review these SMF-3, and if they accept the transfer, the Registry Administrator will review it. Once both parties have approved, the transfer is complete.
**9)** While waiting for this approval, you can view the information about the transfer in the "Pending Units" section of your account holdings.
If you, for any reason, would like to cancel this transfer, click this transaction to be redirected to the screen below, where you can cancel it (highlighted in red). Once the transfer has been approved by the receiving party and the administrator, it cannot be canceled.
**10)** You will receive an email notification both when the receiving party accepts this transfer and when the administrator accepts this transfer.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://energy-web-foundation.gitbook.io/katalist/guidelines/how-to-use-katalist/transferring-smf-3-sc.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
