PCS is an electronic platform that connects various port management systems ensuring secure and fast exchange of information between the stakeholders - the port, the public, and private sectors. The implementation of the project will help to upgrade the management and automation of ports and logistics processes, improve inter-agency coordination in Georgia, and significantly reduce administrative burden and bureaucracy.
The feasibility study for introducing PCS will also explore the possibilities of integrating PCS with associated regional systems (the Black Sea and European Neighborhood Policy countries, EU systems).
The consultants' team will conduct a feasibility study on the implementation of PCS within ten months and will provide Georgia with the recommendations and guidelines for the development and implementation of PCS in Georgia.
