The Port of Valencia has trained 2,600 hauliers operating in the Valencian precinct on the ValenciaportPCS App for mobile devices.
The aim has been to promote the use of this application, to actively listen to lorry professionals, to improve the operability of the logistics chain, to promote environmental sustainability and to reduce the number of incidents that drivers may encounter when accessing the site.
This training has been carried out by ValenciaportPCS technicians at the entrance and exit of the container terminals of COSCO, APM and MSC, and in the transport support areas of the Port of Valencia.

They also helped those professionals who had not downloaded the application to install it and start using it. Specifically, the technicians have assisted 2,592 drivers, who will act as prescribers of this tool to the professionals, who carry out their activity in the Port of Valencia.
In addition, with this training, the PCS specialists have also gathered information from the App users with the main incidents encountered and proposals for improvement that can be applied to continue perfecting this technological platform.
ValenciaportPCS, one of the first technological platforms
ValenciaportPCS is one of the first technological platforms or Port Community Systems in the world. This tool is used by around 1,100 companies and public bodies operating in the ports of Valencia, Sagunto and Gandia. Every day it manages more than 300,000 messages exchanged.
In fact, digitalisation is a priority in the strategic plan of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV), pioneers in tools such as ValenciaportPCS, which continues to advance in new services and increase the number of actors participating in this initiative.
In fact, the companies that are responsible for cargo generation have also recently joined the ValenciaportPCS platform.
