As part of its continuous drive towards upgrading products and services, Dubai Trade, Dubai World's trade facilitation department and provider of online trade eServices, announced the successful deployment of additional DP World eServices that use the Rosoom platform to enable online payments for port charges. This release will facilitate easier and faster container movements at DP World's flagship Jebel Ali Port.
Dubai Trade, which brings together a vast majority of companies that interact with Dubai's ports, customs and the free zone for the purpose of trade into a single community, had launched Rosoom in May 2008.
The Rosoom platform has already proved to be a huge success with the trading community with over 14,000 successful payment transactions to date amounting to over Dhs11.7m.
Mr. Mahmood Al Bastaki, Director of Dubai Trade, said that the deployment of the new payment services from DP World is the result of a concerted effort by a team of experts to aid customers.
'We are proud of DP World's keen and committed interest of transforming all the manual services to electronic services. With this latest addition of payment services, importers and exporters can now be relieved from the burden of physically visiting the counters to fulfill their dues. We are closely working with DP World to integrate all their payable services into our centralized payment gateway, Rosoom'.
Mr. Mohammed Al Muallem, Senior Vice President and Managing Director - DP World UAE Region, congratulated Dubai Trade for launching the new release of the highly user-friendly online payment service.
'DP World is happy that Dubai Trade provided us with a mechanism that will be of big help to our customers. Rosoom will make cargo clearance a lot easier as the payments could be done online without the customer having to spend time at the cash counters. DP World is focused on adopting the latest technology to provide better service to our customers and Dubai Trade has once again proved its worth by presenting exactly what we were looking for.'
The newly launched eServices from DP World will facilitate the trading community to make online payment of port charges for Less than Container Load (LCL) cargo un-stuffed at the Jebel Ali Port Container Freight Station (CFS) and private CFS locations.
It will also enable the payment of Document Processing Charges (DPC) for containerized and non-containerized export cargo against Customs bills generated through the new declaration platform, Mirsal II.
In addition, DP World has created an additional payment method that will enable its customers to open a deposit account.
Customers can top-up this cash deposit account through the Rosoom platform and utilize the balance for DP World online fees.
DP World initiated the deposit scheme in response to demand from customers for a convenient mechanism to make payments promptly.
Rosoom marks the latest in a series of trade facilitating services that Dubai Trade has launched recently.
Covering the entire supply chain, the online service provider has become a vital link between the trading community and key sectors like the ports, free zone and customs.
