Odesa Port joined DocPort: test launch has started

The implementation of the DocPort cargo traffic management module has started in the port of Odesa.

This was reported by the Sea Ports Administration of Ukraine.

The system allows drivers to issue passes in advance and transfer them in a convenient format directly to the messenger. This requires any device with Internet access.

The main goal of DocPort is to reduce queues at the entrance to the port, minimize truck downtime, stabilize traffic flow and make cargo processing more efficient. The system makes it possible to store data on cargo, fleet, prepare documents for entry, control the queue and quickly respond to emergency situations – for example, in the event of a vehicle breakdown. DocPort also allows you to minimize the use of paper media and reduce the amount of bureaucratic procedures during entry checks.

“Today, when ports operate in conditions of war and high responsibility, we must ensure speed and maximum controllability of all logistics processes. DocPort allows us to minimize risks and improve the quality of service for all market participants. We are consistently scaling this solution in key seaports of Ukraine: after Reni, Izmail and Chornomorsk, the logical step was Odesa, one of the most important logistics centers of the country. We are confident that digital solutions should become the standard in the operation of the entire port system,” commented Oleksandr Semirga, Head of the State Enterprise “USPA”.

DocPort works according to the “metered entry” mechanism: drivers wait at special sites where they can activate their passes. Thanks to this, active passes to the port are received by those cars that are actually ready to enter the territory. All information is stored in a single database, so the driver and car need to be registered only once — this data will be available in all ports connected to the system (subject to agreements).

The system was completely developed by specialists of the State Enterprise “USPA”, it is free for all market participants and open for connection by other companies involved in cargo handling.

USM previously reported that DocPort is planned to be launched in the port of Odessa in May.
