The Gambia Ports Authority has reinforced its commitment to digitalize its operations by selecting the Spanish company Prodevelop, in partnership with local firm Lasting Solutions, to implement the Port Management Information System (PMIS), Posidonia Management.
For Gambia Ports Authority it is crucial to optimize internal port management. Prodevelop’s PMIS is a tool for digitalizing and streamlining the port’s internal processes. Through this system, the Gambia Ports Authority will enhance the efficiency of its internal operations, enabling it to provide superior services to its customers, including its concessionaire.
The implementation of Posidonia Management will offer several benefits to the Port Authority, including optimizing vessel and cargo handling, reducing vessel turnaround times, bolstering security measures within Gambia port facilities, ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations, and improving data management and reporting capabilities.
Additionally, hosting the system on AWS will provide the port authority with several advantages, including easy scalability, enhanced cybersecurity from Amazon, reliable backup generation, and swift implementation without the need for on-premises installations of additional software.
The agreement also covers technical support and maintenance services, ensuring that the Gambia Ports Authority will receive comprehensive support from Prodevelop. This includes corrective, preventive, evolutionary, adaptive, and perfective services, guaranteeing the smooth operation of the program.
Prodevelop continues its mission to assist African clients in enhancing their outcomes and digitizing their operational processes, thus streamlining and optimizing their daily operations.
