Maqta Gateway, the digital arm of AD Ports Group, has unveiled a new inspection and clearance module as part of its Advanced Trade and Logistics Platform (ATLP).
The new module is designed to “dramatically improve” information sharing through the implementation of a centralised registration process. It is also expected to help streamline customs procedures by adopting an advanced electronic declaration mechanism, whereby goods can be pre-notified by submitting an electronic customs declaration document. In addition, the integration of the platform with other regulatory authorities such as border control agencies will ensure smoother cross-border operations, Maqta Gateway says.
To date, ATLP’s Inspection and Clearance Module and related services have recorded over 500,000 transactions and now facilitate more than 80% of Abu Dhabi’s customs clearances. In addition, over 50 million transactions were completed via ATLP a single-window solution designed to unify trade and logistics services across Abu Dhabi, including sea, land, air, industrial and free zones.
The new module’s anticipated benefits include improved services across the cargo journey, reduced congestion at all border points, lessened security risks, cost-effective operational costs, as well as compliance with best global regulatory and industry practices.
