Connecting Practical Expertise With Global Discussions
IAPH unites ports, authorities and maritime organizations worldwide. Its working groups on Data Collaboration and on Risk and Resilience are central forums for addressing real operational challenges: improving data exchange, responding to disruptions and ensuring that digital systems keep pace with market and regulatory demands.
With decades of experience in designing and implementing Port Community Systems (PCS) and Maritime Single Window (MSW) solutions in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, HPC brings a strong practical perspective to these discussions.
Adding Value Through PCS and MSW Implementation Experience
HPC’s contribution extends beyond strategy. It brings decades of hands-on experience in designing, deploying, and optimizing Port Community Systems (PCS) and Maritime Single Window (MSW) solutions across multiple regions.
This practical implementation background allows HPC to bridge the gap between strategy and reality – connecting visionary digital concepts with the operational needs and constraints of real ports. The ability to transform high-level ambitions into functioning, user-oriented systems give HPC a unique voice within IAPH’s working groups.
Introducing an AI-Supported View on System Development
A particular focus comes from Maxim Neiser, Subject Matter Expert for PCS and digitalization at HPC. He explores how AI can support the further development of existing PCS and MSW systems by revealing inefficiencies or patterns that are not immediately visible.
“Agentic AI can act as an extra partner inside community systems,” says Maxim Neiser. “It works in the background, observes how information moves and helps identify what is missing or could work better. This gives ports the ability to refine their systems faster and with greater precision, benefiting every stakeholder in the community.”
A Practical Contribution to a Global Community
HPC’s involvement in IAPH is guided by three principles:
- Start from real port needs, not abstract concepts
- Build on existing systems, making them more reliable, connected, and user-friendly
- Support collaboration, because ports only benefit from digitalization when data moves freely between actors
With this mindset, HPC aims to bring clarity, practical experience, and hands-on insights to the working groups it joins.
Supporting Ports on Their Digital Journey
By joining IAPH, HPC adds its implementation experience, its understanding of data processes and its growing expertise in AI-assisted system development to the global port community. Its aim is clear: support ports in building digital systems that work reliably today and are prepared for the requirements of tomorrow, while keeping solutions practical, collaborative and user oriented.
