UNESCAP: Interoperability of Port Community Systems: Towards Paperless Maritime Trade

Interoperability of Port Community Systems: Towards Paperless Maritime Trade

Overview

Maritime transport still generates a heavy reliance on paper-based processes, requiring coordination across ports, shipping lines, customs, and multiple intermediaries. Achieving interoperability of Port Community Systems (PCSs) through API-gateways, data standards, and pre-arrival data exchange allows stakeholders to shift from document-heavy exchanges to data-driven interactions.

Recent initiatives—such as the Rotterdam–Singapore Green & Digital Shipping Corridor[1]—demonstrate that interoperable digital platforms can deliver significant efficiency gains, support Just-in-Time operations, and enable green transition objectives.

At the same time, Customs administrations are key to ensuring that once ports and carriers exchange reliable data, traders are not asked to reproduce the same information on paper. Solutions such as ASYHUB show how pre-arrival data can be processed to strengthen risk management and reduce reliance on hard-copy documents.

This webinar will bring together ports, shipping lines, customs, and international organisations to discuss how interoperability of PCSs can become the foundation for paperless maritime trade.

Objectives 
  • Highlight the inefficiencies caused by paper-heavy processes in maritime transport.
  • Explore how PCS interoperability (API-gateways, ISO 19848, ISO 28005) supports data-driven operations.
  • Discuss lessons from the PCS and Maritime Single Window interoperability initiatives.
  • Examine how Customs administrations can leverage PCS data to move away from requiring physical documents.
  • Identify practical pathways for ports and customs to replicate these models.

Target Audience
  • Customs and border agencies
  • International organizations
  • Trade facilitation and logistics professionals
  • Technology solution providers for port and customs digitalization
  • Port Authorities and Port Community System Operators
