Dagang NeXchange Berhad said it has clinched a contract from the Port Klang Authority to provide comprehensive services including the development, implementation, and maintenance of the Malaysia Maritime Single Window Phase 1.
The contract, valued at RM18 million, is scheduled to run for a duration of three years and six months, starting from 23 October 2023 until 22 April 2027.
PKA was duly appointed as the executing agency to carry out Phase 1 of the MMSW system on behalf of the Ministry of Transport Malaysia.
MMSW is a unified digital platform to facilitate trade and shipping services at the national level. A central platform will be developed to facilitate end-to-end information flow which in turn will serve as a one-stop portal through a single sign-on and single submission for maritime regulatory and port services transactions.
It is a major transformational initiative with the integration of advanced technology and digitalisation onto a new platform that offers an improved user-friendly interface to enhance the efficiency of the ports while fulfilling the obligation set by the International Maritime Organisation with the primary objectives of promoting safe, secure, environmentally sound, efficient and sustainable shipping through cooperation.
The NSW enables electronic submission of regulatory trade documents whilst MMSW will serve as a platform to manage submission of other trade documents required in maritime domain and integrate with NSW as well. The MMSW is aimed at simplifying and expediting administrative procedures to improve efficiency and enhance communications in the maritime domain, reducing duplication of data entry and paper-based processes.
