As of 30 November, the development of the Electronic Data Interchange System or Port EDI system has reached almost 100% completion with only some technical works remaining.

Secretary of State of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport HE Ros Vanna unveiled the progress during the monthly follow-up meeting yesterday.

During the meeting, the working group also discussed the possibility of increasing the electricity capacity supply to the Sihanoukville port to ensure stable power during the test operation, training program, and the actual operation, which are scheduled for January 2022.

HE Ros Vanna said that regarding the request for more electricity supply, the technical working group is submitting the proposal for the ministry’s approval.

The Port EDI system is a large-scale modernisation of Cambodia’s port control and checkpoint system by switching from manual physical paperwork to a computer and online system.

The current inbound and outbound ship navigation procedures are time-consuming and complicated. Thus, MPWT is hoping that the new Port EDI system will ease the procedure to work more effectively and transparently.
