Under the Digitalization of the Border Procedures project, digitalization of the Bhomra Port Management System has been completed. The project is implemented by Swisscontact Bangladesh and is funded by the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation (GATF) under the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement.
The Bhomra e-Port Management System aims to digitalize port procedures, enhancing efficiency, reducing delays, and promoting a seamless trade process. This initiative is a collaborative effort involving the Bangladesh Land Port Authority (BLPA), the Ministry of Shipping, Swisscontact, and the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation.
The digitalization of Bhomra Land Port is expected to significantly impact the private sector by fostering inclusivity, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accountability, and building credibility.
A live demonstration of the e-Port Management System was conducted by Abdullah Al Arafat, senior specialist – Digital System Integration, DBLP, Swisscontact, showcasing its capabilities in improving port operations.
