Prodevelop, in partnership with Hamburg Port Consulting (HPC) and Plisk Consulting is delighted to announce the successful implementation and launch of Georgia’s National Maritime Single Window (MSW). This innovative digital platform, developed and executed by Prodevelop, represents a significant stride in modernizing Georgia’s maritime operations, fostering transparency and interagency collaboration, and securing its position as a key logistics hub within the Middle Corridor, bridging Europe and Asia.
Aligned with International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards, the MSW marks a pivotal advancement in enhancing Georgia’s Logistics Performance Index. It streamlines communication across maritime stakeholders, reduces paperwork, and promotes operational clarity through transparent data sharing. This development will pave the way for Georgia’s future integration into the SafeSeaNet (SSN) system, positioning the country as a leader in regional maritime innovation.
With the successful launch of the MSW, Georgia joins an exclusive group of maritime communities worldwide that have fully embraced digital transformation – an accomplishment that places the country at the forefront of maritime innovation. The MSW is expected to significantly elevate the efficiency and security of operations by digitizing information exchange processes and eliminating redundancies. Ship agents, port authorities, and other maritime stakeholders will benefit from more streamlined workflows, ultimately fostering faster and safer port operations.
Aleksi Akhvlediani, Director of the Maritime Transport Agency (MTA), shared his views on the MSW‘s importance: “The National Maritime Single Window is a cornerstone for Georgia’s maritime digital transformation. This platform will drive efficiency, compliance with global standards, and our competitiveness in the international market. One of Georgia’s top priorities is the coordinated functioning of the transport and logistics sectors, modernization/construction of transport infrastructure in line with international standards, harmonization of legislation with international law, and integration into the Trans-European Transport Network.”
Designed with the maritime sector’s unique challenges in mind, the MSW aims to reduce complexity and build trust amongst stakeholders.
The platform’s design and implementation were carried out with meticulous adherence to IMO regulations and best practices in the industry. From process definition to software support, Prodevelop and HPC ensured that the MSW’s architecture is robust, compliant, and scalable for future integration with international maritime systems.
The inauguration of the MSW signals Georgia’s firm commitment to secure, transparent, and efficient maritime trade. As a catalyst for digital transformation, the platform sets a precedent for continued advancements within Georgia’s logistics sector, fostering an ecosystem that is competitive on the global stage.
