APM Terminals Pipavav implements e-SMTP
APM Terminals Pipavav has successfully implemented e-SMTP (electronic sub-manifest transshipment permit) at its port beginning 2017.
Containers at Pipavav Port are being released for train loading according to the e-SMTP messages received from ICEGATE [Indian Customs Electronic Commerce/Electronic Data Interchange (EC/EDI) Gateway] through PCS [port community system]. By implementing e-SMTP, containers can be planned for loading within couple of hours of vessel?s inward entry filed by customs in ICEGATE. Implementation of system will help in a quick turnaround of cargoes, thereby resulting into 12 to 48 hours of savings every week.
With the port having stopped the collection of hard copies of SMTP, the e-SMTP has made the whole custom process very simplified and has proved to be a valued proposition for the port users with minimal operational hurdles.
