APMT first to launch fully digital export management system in Russia

APM Terminals (APMT)’s First Container Terminal (FCT) will become the first Russian terminal to transfer to a fully paperless management system for containers.

The transfer to this technology, which enables the digital exchange of legally bending documents with the customs authority, comes after a successful test at the Turukhtanny customs post in June this year.

The new digital export management system allows forwarding companies to upload orders and customs will issue documentation digitally, allowing the terminal to commence the loading of a container onto a vessel immediately without additional approval.
