What is Port Community System (PCS)?

A PCS is a single-window system that streamlines data exchange, document submissions, approvals and payments across all stakeholders in the trade community, simplifying procedures, cutting down, red-tape, paperwork and delays.

Stakeholder communication before and after a Port Community System: on the left, every party connected to every other in a tangle of direct links; on the right, all parties connected through a single central Port Community System
