The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) will launch a campaign to train relevant officials on how to use the new electronic data exchange system known as Port EDI in mid-November 2021.

Secretary of State of the MPWT HE Ros Vanna said during the meeting on Tuesday 28 September that the first Port EDI training will be conducted for customs and excise officials, port officials, and other relevant authorities.

“Once developed and installed, the Port EDI system will be launched by a sub-decree. Given many other legal and technical aspects involved, officials must be well-trained before implementation,” said HE Vanna.

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.
