\"\"<\/a>A package of digital solutions introduced by Djibouti Port Community System (DPCS) is proving transformational for the flow of cargo through its ports and across the border into landlocked Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

About 90% of Ethiopia\u2019s imports pass through Djibouti\u2019s ports and a key focus of DPCS has been providing as much transparency and visibility as possible to the final customers who, of course, are in another country entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n

First launched in July 2018,\u00a0Djibouti Port Community System, an active member of IPCSA, covers\u00a0the ports of\u00a0SGTD Container Terminal (former DCT), Doraleh Multipurpose Port and the Port of Tadjourah. Before its implementation, all Djibouti ports, Customs and government agencies had their own separate systems. Since 2018, DPCS has developed rapidly.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cWe have two main strategies driving our PCS implementation,\u201d says Warsama \u00a0Guirreh, CEO of DPCS. \u201cDue to our location, we have about 30,000 vessels passing our coast every year; Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority is working to create an interconnected International Maritime Centre, investing in ports, in feeder services and in bunkering on the high seas, with the aim of attracting more liner services into our ports. Secondly, we are working to further improve the transit services provided to our neighbour, Ethiopia. The focus of our PCS has a lot to do with tracking and tracing; we have to provide as much transparency and visibility to the final customers as we can. After all, we have seen more than US$1.2 billion of investment in creating logistics and trade infrastructure in Djibouti \u2013 building digital services to improve the efficiency of those infrastructure is an essential component of that investment.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In respect of the first strategy, Djibouti PCS is compliant with IMO FAL recommendations. The seven FAL Forms are submitted electronically to ease vessel documentation submission. Other maritime e-services that have contributed to a considerable increase in efficiency include electronic berth requests and vessel clearance e-certificates.<\/p>\n

DPCS is also connecting all the different stakeholders \u2013 ports, shipping lines, forwarders, Customs \u2013 to provide a 360-degree view of cargo and documentation flows. \u201cWe are tracking the cargo to identify when it has been unloaded at the port, position of the container within the yard, gate-in\/gate-out and at the same time tracking the documentation process \u2013 including e-do, port fees invoice, clearance, booking collection of the cargo, etc.,\u201d says Warsama. \u201cRecently we have integrated Djibouti Corridor agency (DPCR) systems to provide \u2018check points\u2019 where the customer can follow the truck and its cargo all the way to Ethiopia. This is done through a QR Code scan of the DPCR ticket along the corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the addition of this latest functionality, importers\/exporters from Ethiopia can follow their trucks in Djibouti, verify the cargo that the trucks are transporting and investigate any delays on deliveries by tracking operations and documentation activities associated with their trucks. The shippers can also use this tracking and data availability to improve services and cut out unnecessary costs. Having said that, it\u2019s important to emphasise that DPCS is not physically stopping anyone from doing anything; the transparency is there for the community to make use of.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This tracking capability has generated a lot of interest from the Federal Transport Authority of Ethiopia, whose transport department contacted DPCS with a view to integrating systems to provide full tracking and visibility of Ethiopia-based trucks, from starting their journey, through loading goods at the port to crossing the border and final delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom our side, we wanted more information about the transport companies and drivers registered in Ethiopia,\u201d says Warsama. \u201cInitially, we had no way of knowing whether transport companies were legitimate and registered in Ethiopia, even if they said that they were. Through this integration, the Ethiopian government provides full information on the truckers that are heading our way.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOur biggest objective is reducing the time and cost of logistics. We have demonstrated that just through digitalisation, existing customers have been able to save four to five hours on each consignment. Where there were nine manual processes, we have reduced this down to five, all electronic. Now, we expect documentation to be finalised within an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

By continuing to analyse data, DPCS\u2019 relevant stakeholders have been able to identify bottlenecks, assess customer behaviour and adjust processes accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we have been working for almost three years, we have had access to a great deal of data \u2013 basically anything that comes into Djibouti, delivery data, gate in\/out \u2013 and that data is becoming more and more valuable,\u201d says Warsama. \u201cWe are in a position to take better decisions that can significantly improve the logistics chain and our services.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the integration with Customs system Asycuda, Djibouti PCS has been operating as the sole submission platform for all manifest and e-do operations in Djibouti. This year, we also aim to finalise the Customs declaration submission functionality and the integration with the rail operator.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is all of this encouraging cargo volumes into Djibouti? Warsama says yes \u2013 efficiency and cargo flows are interlinked.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBetter service means more business,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For example, sometimes containers spend more time in ports due to a delay in the documentation. \u201cWith Djibouti PCS, we are able to find out the source of this delay within the logistics chain. Better coordination and increased transparency resolve these types of issues and increase the flow of cargo in the logistics chain. This integrated digital service helps the importer to plan the whole process of retrieval of cargo. It is more efficient and cheaper for the importer and more efficient for us, because the cargo is moving faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

And there are certainly new opportunities ahead. Djibouti is in discussions with South Sudan and other landlocked countries. \u201cEthiopia is keen to become a transit country itself, using Djibouti ports and delivering goods all the way to South Sudan and into central Africa,\u201d explains Warsama. \u201cThis has been a long dream of both Djibouti and Ethiopia. For this, we need to be very efficient and provide exceptionally good logistics services for customers choosing to use the Djibouti ports.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEveryone is realising the potential of the landlocked countries of Africa and corridors to the seaports. Djibouti\u2019s population is less than one million, but we have five ports \u2013 they aren\u2019t only for us but for other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

None of this has been without its challenges, of course. Warsama highlights one of the more usual difficulties \u2013 encouraging people and businesses to get involved, to share information and to trust each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting people involved was definitely very challenging, especially at the beginning when we had to explain that this would help the whole port community. We started with port bookings, invoicing and gate in\/out; as we convinced and integrated a party, we built on the achievements in order to continue and extend the influence of the system. Even now we sometimes have forwarders who still come to the port requesting a physical invoice, but 90% of them are using the system and doing everything from their offices.\u201d<\/p>\n

In all of this, DPCS has benefited from its membership of IPCSA, says Warsama. \u201cEvery single problem we have had, there is a member of IPCSA who has been there before us and has been able to provide advice and support,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

And he is full of optimism: \u201cThere is still a long way to go and a lot of improvements to make but we are heading in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
