In line with the policy of continuous upgrading of services, DP World-UAE Region has officially launched the first phase of its new port management operation system 'Promis,' which will gradually replace the existing systems applied in all departments and sections of the company. The new system has been fully put into application in the Marine Operations Department at Jebel Ali Port, where it proved its efficiency in connecting the various departments through an integrated control and co-ordination centre. This enables the efficient management of all operations to cope up with the needs of the rapidly growing marine industry sectors in the country, including shipping, export and import, most of which are carried out through Jebel Ali Port.
Mr. Mohammed Al Muallem, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of DP World- UAE Region, said:
'The implementation of 'Promis' is part of our constant efforts to make use of the most modern technology at DP World. Following the success of 'Promis' in the Marine Operations Department, we will seek in its second phase to connect all DP World departments at Jebel Ali Port to one central network in order to achieve total and efficient co-ordination of operations. This is the first step in making the implementation of this highly efficient technology possible at all DP World terminals around the world.'
Captain Hassan Al Suweidi, Director of Marine Operations and Senior Harbour Master, Jebel Ali Port, said:
'The application of the new system aims at cutting down costs and saving time. 'Promis' will also eliminate a lot of paper work and increase the efficiency of exchanging information. It will considerably lessen error ratio by reducing the human error factor. The new system makes use of technology that meets with the highest international standards.'
'DP World- UAE Region's goal is to build the first fully-automated port control system in the world because our operations require very high level of accuracy and speed. Mistakes may lead to severe consequences and we intend to ensure that a total and full-proof system is in place to control and manage all port operations,' he added.
An extensive study was conducted by a specialised team of experts from the Marine Operations Department to upgrade the operations system to meet the mounting needs of customers and requirements for upgrading marine services and use it to perfection in order to streamline the operation processes that control the entry and exit movements at the port.
The system is responsible for coordinating the inbound and outbound movements of vessels. 'Promis' also serves customers, providing them with up-to-the-minute information. Since this fully automated system is linked to Dubai Trade portal, which enables online transactions with DP World- UAE Region, customers can now access several services online, such as booking, obtaining invoices and tracking the location of their vessels.
Another distinguished feature of the new system is that it can be connected to other systems for better utilisation and control of all operations, such as the Vessels Tracking System (VTS) currently in use.
The launch of first phase of 'Promis' comes at a time when DP World- UAE Region is engaged in the continuous task of upgrading all its services at Jebel Ali Port which is managed by the most modern systems and technologies at par with the world's leading ports.
