THE MSC Mirjam owned by Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has started calling at Terminaux de Normandie Port 2000 at the French port of Le Havre.
The harbour master monitored in real time the arrival and anticipated all the operations related to the movement of the ship using S-WING software.
The effectiveness of interoperability with SOGET's Port Community System (PCS) enables a 'dematerialised processing of imported cargo' by French Customs.
Under media scrutiny, deputy harbour master Alexandre Guyot demonstrated this from the harbour HQ tower the 3D S-Wing vessel traffic management tool that has been fully integrated with the Port Community System, S)ONE.
Mr Guyot praised 'exceptional collaborative work that allows digital seamless connectivity between all the stakeholders in the transport logistics chain for better predictability.'
According to HAROPA delegate general manager Antoine Berbain: 'The future is in the digitizsation of port services to bring ever faster, more efficient, intelligent and secure flow of goods.
These new generations of port IT tools, interconnected and developed along with the supply chain stakeholders, are encompassed into the 'Smart Corridor approach promoted by HAROPA'.
He continued that 'the modernisation of the port community system is part of this initiative. Our common ambition throughout the Seine axis is to provide a better service to our customers by offering a 100 per cent digital call and paperless procedures.'
The attractiveness of the Seine corridor is thus constantly increasing since forward-looking solutions are being developed with major customers such as MSC, from the ship to the final consignee.
SOGET chairman Herve Cornede said the digital innovations are available 'on a mobile or a pad, from their individualised S)ONE account, our customers manage the procedures related to the import of goods in an agile and predictive environment.
'As a Gold Microsoft partner, SOGET has the opportunity to deploy its innovative solutions on the latest technologies in artificial intelligence and big data with the opportunity of a secure data hosting in the [Microsoft] Azure cloud,' Mr Cornede said.
Given that most western Europe ports advocate being 'smart,' the Le Havre stands out in front of an ever more digitalised ecosystem with the support of the French customs.
The interoperability of the different IT systems makes it possible to optimise intelligent and secure predictability of data flows.
Said Mr Cornede: 'This new generation of PCS [port community system], interconnected to customs information systems, contributes to the same ambitions as those of customs: the efficiency of port passage in a fluid and secure way for France's attractiveness.'
MSC France noted that 'as a major user of the port and a promoter of technology and innovation, we are delighted to support our local partners in this initiative, which definitely improves the service we offer to our customers.'
The dwell times have tended to decrease despite the greater container volumes. 'The implementation of S)ONE has been gradual after a series of successful tests. Real-time tracking allows us to continuously improve our productivity to the greatest satisfaction of our customers,' said Terminaux de Normandie CEO Paul Sax.
