New Freight Transport Management System Launches in Odesa Port

The implementation of a new freight transport management system called DocPort has commenced at Odesa port. This system allows drivers to pre-apply for passes, which are delivered in a convenient format directly to their messenger apps. All that is required is any device with internet access, such as a phone, tablet, or laptop.

The primary goal of DocPort is to reduce queues at port entrances, minimize truck idle times, stabilize the vehicle flow, and improve cargo handling efficiency. The system enables the storage of cargo and fleet information and allows for quick responses to unforeseen situations, such as vehicle breakdowns. Additionally, the use of DocPort minimizes paper documentation and streamlines bureaucratic procedures during inspections.

“In times of war and heightened responsibility, we must ensure speed and control over all logistics processes. DocPort helps us mitigate risks and enhance service quality across the market,” stated Alexander Semyrha, Head of the State Enterprise “APMU”. He also noted that the system has already been implemented in key maritime ports of Ukraine, including Reni, Izmail, and Chornomorsk, with Odesa being the next logical step.

DocPort operates through a “controlled entry” mechanism, allowing drivers to wait in designated areas where they can activate their passes. This ensures that only vehicles ready to enter the port do so. All information is stored in a unified database, allowing for single registration of drivers and vehicles across all connected ports.

The system was entirely developed by APMU specialists and is free for all market participants. It is also open for other companies involved in cargo processing to connect.

“We are building an infrastructure that responds to real challenges—military, economic, and logistical. The creation of digital tools like DocPort is an investment in the future competitiveness of Ukrainian ports, logistics efficiency, and transparency of processes,” emphasized Alexander Semyrha.
