Establish a Port Community System
Embracing Technology to Meet Future Ocean Freight Demands
As a result of the research involved with this project there has been an identified need for a
Port Community System (PCS)
A Port Community System (PCS), or single window system, is an electronic platform that
connects the multiple systems operated by a variety of organizations that make up a seaport
community. It is shared in the sense that it is set up, organized and used by firms in the same
sector in this case, a port community.
A Port Community System:
Is an open electronic platform enabling intelligent and secure exchange of information
between public and private stakeholders in order to improve the competitive position
of the sea and air ports' communities.
Optimizes, manages and automates port and logistics processes through a single
submission of data and connecting transport and logistics chains
Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA)
An example of such a system is the one implemented by the Northwest
Seaport Alliance (NWSA) (https://www.nwseaportalliance.com/). The
Northwest Seaport Alliance is a marine cargo operating partnership of the
ports of Tacoma and Seattle. The first of its kind in North America, the
NWSA is the fourth-largest container gateway. Regional marine cargo
facilities also are a major center for bulk, breakbulk, project/heavy-lift
cargoes, automobiles and trucks. Located in the Pacific Northwest in
Washington state, The Northwest Seaport Alliance offers shorter U.S.-to-
Asia transits, as well as a deep connection to Alaska.

TIPS System (PANYNJ)
Another such example is the TIPS system developed by the Port Authority
of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) (http://www.panynj.gov/). The
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) is a joint venture
between the U.S. states of New York and New Jersey, established in 1921
through an interstate compact authorized by the United States Congress.
The Port Authority oversees much of the regional transportation
infrastructure, including bridges, tunnels, airports, and seaports, within
the geographical jurisdiction of the Port of New York and New Jersey.
