Start date: 2013-06-01- Training workshops for internal administrators and users of the implemented PCS and internal management programmes linked to them.
- Design of a specific methodology.
- Development of materials and knowledge pills. Knowledge pills would be short videos, showing the real use of PCS. These pills would be useful for classroom and online training, and as a support repository for all users.
- Design of a sustainability scheme.
- Implementation of the sustainability scheme (meeting with decision-making politicians, development of a virtual technical forum, participation in sectorial conferences, preparation of technical reports, etc.)

Setting the minimum requirements to be covered by every implemented PCS and intra-port communication system
The project will not create new models of harmonisation, but it will be based on previously developed ones. A document including the different works and official recommendations and guidelines shall be drafted. The document shall include explicit recommendations for the project itself.
The minimum requirements to be fulfilled by each PCS shall be defined jointly.
Each port shall report on its current situation (study/report), and on the modifications, improvements, acquisitions and new developments which are to be implemented (specific improvement action plan) in order to comply with the minimum requirements established. Finally, a specific plan for each port will be approved, as well as the bases for developing an intra-port intra-comm.
