Streamlined export container management and cargo documentation

Export Bookings Module | Port Community System

About

The Export Bookings module enables Shipping Agents to submit export booking information through the PCS. Freight Forwarders can access this data to collect empty containers, load cargo, and update the booking details as needed.

The module supports the assignment of empty containers to specific clients and improves transparency throughout the export process. All activities are processed electronically, allowing for better coordination between exporters, forwarders, terminals, and regulatory agencies.
