Some of our recent projects:
Development of Specifications for the Design and Implementation of a Port Community System in the Maritime Port of Constanța
Description: preparation of a Feasibility Study for the development of a Port Community System (PCS) in Port of Constanta with (Constanta zone, Midia zone, Mangalia Zone, Basarabi Zone, Tomis Marina) to contribute to the full integration and digitalization of the maritime transport chain, including the hinterland.
Result: port process analysis, data management analysis, governance model, business model, and risk analysis. As a result, the port has received a clear specification and recommendation for the implementation of the PCS. This system will enhance efficiency, coordination, and communication across the port, solidifying the Port of Constanta’s position as a key hub in the Black Sea.
