Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has earlier this month launched the upgraded version of its Port Community System (PCS) after four years of development with its fully owned cargo information platform, Cargonaut.  The improvements will deliver faster data processing, greater transparency and full compliance with the latest IATA standards and guidelines.

The PCS is a single tech platform for information and data exchange between all internal cargo stakeholders at Schiphol and external authorities such as Customs. Mr Joost van Doesburg, Head of Cargo at Schiphol Airport, highlighted that the upgrade will make the system more robust and future-proof to continue to safely ensure the smooth import and export of large amount of cargo. The upgraded system facilitates the use of new technologies allowing air cargo partners within this digital ecosystem to exchange data easily and transparently.

Later this year, the Secure Import System, which informs forwarders when an import shipment is ready for collection by an air cargo handler, is scheduled for implementation. At the same time, work is also underway on the Truck Visited Management System to significantly improve and streamline waiting times for cargo deliveries and collections.
