Gov't launches new system to boost port connectivity

The system will be rolled out in early 2026.

The Transport & Logistics Bureau launched the Port Community System (PCS) project on 16 May.

The PCS aims to boost digitalisation, cross-sector information interconnectivity, and smart port development in Hong Kong’s ports.

The system will provide real-time cargo tracking, integrate sea, land, and air transport data, and offer value-added electronic services.

The PCS’ pilot data-sharing platform began phased testing of cargo clearance processes in early 2023. It will launch another trial with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) to explore using cargo status data from the PCS to streamline trade finance processes.

The Logistics & Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) will support the full development of the PCS, with installation completed by the end of 2025 and industry rollout to start in early 2026.
