SMEs to benefit from mobile phone app

PNG Ports Corporation Ltd has made vital shipping information more accessible through the recent introduction of a mobile phone app.
With this app, clients can easily download the shipping schedule mobile application on android phones and start accessing information from the palm of their hands.
Small to medium-sized enterprises involved in importing and exporting goods in and out of PNG are expected to benefit greatly from this.
PNG Ports’ managing director Stanley Alphonse said the app was user-friendly and information such as the expected time of arrival for ships, berthing information and vessel names could be accessed using it.
The app gets information fed from the ports’ website and can be downloaded via the website.
“PNG Ports has over the years, strived to ensure customer satisfaction and deliver services in a timely manner,” Alphonse said.
“We hope that the introduction of the mobile app enhances this.”
PNG Ports is one of the oldest State-owned entities in Papua New Guinea.
It is the sole authority over all declared ports in the country and manages 15 of the 23 declared ports.
