India to introduce nationwide port Internet system
The Indian government is planning to roll out an Internet-based system that would link shipping agents, importers, exporters, terminal operators and banks to all 12 state-operated Indian ports.
The aim of the program is to facilitate paperless exchange of shipment filings and improve ship turnaround times, a government official told the Economic Times of India.
The Port Community System is likely to be piloted at Mumbai Port and Jawarlal Nehru Port sometime in 2007.
