Come September all Malaysian Port will be connected to a national port community system that promises a standardised electronic document manifest scheme. The Electronic Manifest System (EMS) is developed by Dagang Net Technologies Sdn. Bhd. (DNT).
The long-awaited link-up is a direct result of the success of the Port Klang Community System (PKCS), which was the nation's pilot project for electronic data interchange for port community 12 years ago. The EMS will replace the PKCS system as well and will fill the void of port community system at others ports in the country.
The universal design of EMS acts as the facilitator between principal shipping agents and freight forwarder to submit / receive application for ship call number, ocean BL and house BL to/from various related authority such as Customs, free zones and port operators. All of them will interface a new but uniformed port community system that links all ports in Malaysia.
