Port community system key to city’s global shipping status

2025-06-23 10:34

Hong Kong, often referred to as the Pearl of the Orient, is renowned for its vibrant port. As one of the world’s leading ports, it has long served as a key hub for international trade, thanks to its efficient logistics services and strategic location. However, with the swift evolution of global trade and the rise of digitalization, traditional port operation models are becoming insufficient. To ensure Hong Kong’s continued competitiveness, the implementation of a port community system (PCS) has become an urgent priority. According to the latest Policy Address, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government is expected to complete the PCS installation by the end of 2025, with a budget of HK$215 million ($27.39 million) allocated for this initiative in the 2025-26 Budget. On May 16, the Transport and Logistics Bureau launched the PCS project, signifying that the PCS has entered into the development phase. If we think of port operations as an ecosystem, the PCS acts as a vital connector, linking stakeholders such as global carriers, cargo owners, logistics providers, and freight terminal operators. This digital platform facilitates real-time information sharing and collaboration, allowing the entire port logistics operation to run smoothly like a well-orchestrated symphony. Through the PCS, stakeholders can eliminate information silos and achieve seamless connectivity, significantly boosting efficiency. Amid the wave of global digital transformation, the logistics industry is undergoing unprecedented changes. As an international shipping hub, Hong Kong faces the critical challenge of leveraging advanced digital technologies to enhance logistics efficiency, break down information silos, and achieve intelligent management, all of which are essential to maintaining its competitiveness. The introduction of the PCS marks a significant step for Hong Kong toward smart logistics. It will bring great benefits to the city and have a profound impact on the logistics industry. Facilitate data flow: By utilizing digital platforms and technologies, various data points in the logistics process, such as cargo location, transportation status, and customs clearance progress, can be automatically collected, transmitted, and analyzed. This enables real-time sharing and seamless connectivity, enhancing logistics efficiency and providing businesses and customers with more transparent and reliable services. Break down information silos: In traditional logistics models, different stakeholders, e.g., cargo owners, logistics companies, customs authorities, and cargo terminal operators, often rely on separate information systems, which hinder real-time data sharing and create “information silos”. This inefficiency can lead to communication errors and delays. The digital platform can facilitate data sharing and collaboration among all parties. Enhance logistics intelligence: The platform goes beyond mere data transmission; it also encompasses data analysis and application. Developing an integrated logistics platform that combines data transmission, analysis, and intelligent applications will be essential for the future of logistics. Such a platform can ensure efficient information flow and provide businesses with comprehensive data support for more informed decision-making. Automate processes: Port operations involve multiple steps, each requiring significant manpower and time. The introduction of PCS can automate these processes, reducing the need for human intervention. For instance, cargo owners can track their shipments in real time without having to make cumbersome phone calls or send emails for updates, while operators can optimize resource allocation based on data, minimizing waste. 倫婉霞博士 Ir Dr VENUS LUN 中國國家行政學院（香港）工商專業同學會國際貿易與供應鏈委員會 主席 CAGA International Trade and Supply Chain Committee，Chairman 物流及供應鏈多元技術研發中心有限公司 特殊項目總監 Logistics and supply Chain MultiTechR&amp;D Centre Limited，Special Project Director 轉載自：<a href="https://www.chinadailyhk.com/hk/article/614097#Port-community-system-key-to-city’s-global-shipping-status-2025-06-17">CHINADAILY：Port community system key to city’s global shipping status</a> <section contenteditable="false" data-arttype="divider_1" data-attr="[{&quot;border_type&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;style_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;solid&quot;}},{&quot;border_size&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;style_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}},{&quot;border_color&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;style_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;#999999&quot;}},{&quot;margin_lr&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;padding_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;20&quot;}},{&quot;padding_top&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;padding_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;20&quot;}},{&quot;padding_bottom&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;padding_wrap&quot;,&quot;val&quot;:&quot;20&quot;}}]" data-insertafter="true" data-readonly="true" style="margin:27px 0;"> <section class="atrWidget widget_divider_1"> <section class="j_margin_lr j_padding_top j_padding_bottom" style="margin:0 20px;padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px;"> &nbsp;
