Work package 4. Improvement of the Information Management Systems
Phase 4.1: Setting minimum requirements of PCS and communication system
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.

Phase 4.2: Implementation of PCS in all the harbours
This phase includes the establishment of the PCS in every harbour according to each individual scheme. It involves all the improvements to be made for the external client who will benefit from the service and the internal management improvements to guarantee it. Although each port will be responsible for implementing this phase, special care must be taken to promote Communication among the different partner teams to ensure synergies.Start date: 2013-08-01
End date: 2014-05-31
Phase 4.3: Development of the communication system among PCS
In this phase, the necessary (software) developments will be implemented so as to assure an integrated intra-port communication. Not only on a port to port level, but on a community to community one.Start date: 2013-11-01
End date: 2014-08-31
Phase 4.4: Pilot tests
This project includes 5 pilot tests:- A pilot test for each harbour (4 tests) in order to prove that the implemented PCS or the improvements thereto operate correctly. That the users are conversant with them and use them.
- A pilot test in which at least 2 harbours will participate (1 test), to prove the effective interconnection among the PCS of the mentioned harbours. That the users are conversant with them and make use of them.
Start date: 2014-06-01
