New Port Digitalization Rules: Unified Platform for Pre-Departure Documentation and Accelerating Procedures

International port operators and major terminals are promoting the creation of joint digital platforms for the preliminary submission of vessel and cargo documents in a single-window format. This will allow for the integration of data with line operators and agents, as well as automate arrival procedures and communication with captain's offices.

Key Benefits of the Initiative

• Reduction of Downtime: The unified platform minimizes delays in document processing.
• Simplification for Cruise Companies: Accelerates the processing of crew and passengers.
• Impact on Planning: Helps ports optimize vessel schedules for increased efficiency.

The implementation of such systems reduces the risks of errors in document flow and contributes to the digitalization of the entire port infrastructure. According to industry data, the transition to single-window is already being tested in key international hubs, promising a 20-30% increase in terminal productivity.

Integration and Automation

The platforms will support real-time data exchange with customs and border services. This is particularly relevant for regions with high traffic, where manual procedures hinder operations.
