"Feasibility Study for Development of Port Community System (PCS) in Bulgarian ports"

PORT COMMUNITY SYSTEM (PCS) is a standardized electronic platform connecting several systems and allowing smart and secure exchange of information between public and private stakeholders. The platform aims at improving the competitiveness and optimization and management of the ports and the logistics processes through a single data submission. PCS provides a great variety of services such as easy, fast and effective exchange of information, electronic processing of customs declarations and all information on import and export of containers, general and bulk cargo and others. Currently there is no vision for development of PORT COMMUNITY SYSTEM (PCS) in Bulgaria. In this regard, the present project provides for elaboration of a common vision for the development and implementation of the PCS, drawing up the model and the basic functions of the system for electronic exchange of information in the Bulgarian ports, preparation of contractor’s selection documentation, working on projects for legislative changes related to the development of information system for the port community. The project "Feasibility Study for Development of Port Community System (PCS) in Bulgarian ports" is preparation for the development of a centralized and automated system for information and documentation exchange between maritime transport authorities and various port services users. This system will optimize the port operations and exchange of information in the harbor, while also ensuring a high level of quality and data integrity. Start of the project is scheduled for the month of April 2017.
