Maqta Gateway Port Community System

Abu Dhabi Ports

The Background

Abu Dhabi Ports

Established in 2006 by an Abu Dhabi Government Emiri Decree to:

Own, develop, manage, operate and maintain all port related facilities in Abu Dhabi (excluding Oil & Gas and military ones)

Develop, manage and operate related industrial zones in Abu Dhabi

Relevant authorities need a

system that can support higher

level of security and decrease

risks through increased

transparency.

The required transactions to move cargo in and out of

the emirate depends on several systems through

different entities, which inherently slows down the

process.

All parties

representing the port

community must be

‘interlinked’ in an

intelligent,

streamlined system

to share information

instantly.Abu Dhabi Ports

customers demand

high levels of

predictability, and

visibility for their trade

transactions.

They prefer to move their cargo through

ports that can ensure efficient

operations.

They need a

system that can

talk the

international

standardized

language of

trade.

Shipping lines, shipping agents,

customs agents, importers,

exporters, terminal operators

need a single point-of-access

and real-time information

across a wide range of Ports

services.

The Need for a Port Community System
