STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Various stakeholders (container terminals, customs control, police, port authorities,

port agents etc.) utilize different ICT systems that should be thoroughly analyzed

before integration into integral business information systems of the port clusters (PCSPort Community Systems).

In order to fully understand complexity of the different systems, it is important to

outline and study them.

PURPOSE OF PORT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Increase of speed of cargo loading and unloading

Adjustment of duration of physical and administrative operations

Provision of information systems support to stakeholders

Creation of relations toward external databases

Management of the information flow by enabling connections

between stakeholders

Cash flow optimization


4/13

ICT SYSTEMS OF CONTAINER TERMINALS

Enhancement of the container transport inside terminals is achieved by:

Introduction of the communication network inside terminals with a

complete centralized database. Correct evaluation of duration of cargo transport and loading-offloading

operations.

Development of the automatic operations management (driverless

vehicles, cranes without operators).

Inclusion of the system buffers


5/13


Container management system that is well envisaged and has proper architecture can

increase terminal efficiency, with the main benefits being:

Faster container offloading and loading with increase of productivity,

Better container storage oversight,

Higher percentage of correct data and valid information.


6/13


ICT systems typically used in container terminals are the following:

Gate System, used to control and identify containers, perform X-ray and detect trucks,

Corporate System, used for business functions, analyze human resource deployment,create accounting and financial reports for the management,

Engineering System, used for implementation of technological innovations on transportutilities and malfunction diagnostics,

Anciliary System, used for management of empty areas and container repair,

OCR Handling System, the system used for container tracking based on opticalrecognition and tag reding,

Equipment Control System, follows up the equipment, current position of the cranes,controls RFID readers,

Equipment PLC/SCADA System, used to track and control cranes and AGV (automaticguided vehicles), [7]

Information Technologies Analysis and Design System, top-level system that managesall other elements of the hardware and software, and

Community System that connects all stakeholders in the port claster by exchanginginformation and electronic messages.


7/13

ICT SYSTEMS OF THE CUSTOMS CONTROL

Three systems developed to ensure compatibility with EU information

systems under Phare 2005. project:

TARIC(acronym for French TARif Intgr de la Communaut) is a

database of all customs fees related to imports, exports and applicabletariffs dependent on the tariff code of the goods

NCTS (eng. New Computerized Transit System), necessary for insurance

of transit goods, and

EMCS(eng. Excise Movement Control System), required for efficient

control of goods subjected to excises (alcohol, cigarettes, fuels and

electric energy).


8/13

ICT SYSTEMS OF THE BORDER AND MARINE POLICE

NBMIS(eng. National Border Management Information System)

ANPR(eng. Automatic Number Plate Recognition)

SISand SIS II (eng. Schengen Information system) - a database of European

countries that stores information about people and goods

S.I.Re.N.E. office (Supplementary Information Requested at the NationalEntries)


9/13

ICT SYSTEMS OF THE MINISTRY OF MARITIME AFFAIRS, TRANSPORT

AND INFRASTRUCTURE

VTS(eng. Vessel Traffic Service), established in order to enhance traffic safety and

efficiency and protect sea environment

VTMIS(Vessel Traffic Management and Information Service), 2008.

AIS (Automatic Identification System) based on SOLAS convention


10/13

ICT SYSTEMS OF THE PORT AGENTS

Agent information system consists of several modules or databases:

- Docking database

- Cargo database

- Database of advances

- Database of ships

- Code database

- Event database

- Database of costs

- Business partner database


11/13

PORT AUTHORITY ICT SYSTEMS

VTS

VTMIS

ECDIS (electronic charts)

CCTV

Physical access control systems (ID cards)

PMIS (Port Management Information Systems)


12/13

INTEGRAL BUSINESS INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN PORT CLUSTERS

Four distinctive phases of introduction of ICT and business information systems in port

communities.

Croatian ports are in transition between the first and second phase.

Reasons:- lowered investments in sea ports during 1980s, while other ports were heavily investing in

port infrastructure and technology development

- war in 1990s and loss of market share

- new PCS projects funded by EU and World Bank
