DP World introduces new Port Community System in UK

Digital Trade Solutions business CNS (Community Network Services), a DP World company, is rolling out its new CNS Port Community System (PCS) to future-proof port technology in the United Kingdom and beyond.

More specifically, the upgrade will see ‘Compass’ – which has supported many of the UK’s largest maritime ports since 2010 – transition to the cloud-based and HMRC-compliant CNS PCS.

According to the company, this API-ready platform is based on DP World’s global CARGOES platform, runs on multiple devices and will enable businesses to respond to regulatory changes with greater ease and agility.

Furthermore, ‘Compass’ has orchestrated trade logistics for UK maritime ports, facilitating communication, cargo visibility and trade efficiency for shipping lines, freight forwarders, terminal operators, customs brokers and more.

The company also added that “The system’s phased rollout has commenced with a pilot launch in the Belfast community during August 2023, before being implemented across other CNS sites in the UK. ”

The transition for all ‘Compass’ users in the UK is expected to be complete in 2025.

Matthew Bradley, managing director at CNS said, “‘Compass’ has been an industry-standard solution since 2010, and has been a go-to for those in the ports and logistics industry.”

He added, “The UK government has confirmed that Port Community Systems remain a key element of the data and systems landscape at the UK border. CNS PCS reflects CNS’s extensive investment in digital platforms to meet the changing needs of the market.”
