Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) has launched a mobile app for port pass applications.
The ADPC Port Pass, has been designed to accelerate approved access to ADPC ports. The tool could help cut waiting times for GCC truck drivers operating at the company’s Abu Dhabi port.
“ADPC is focused on improving its customer business experience in all of our ports,” said Sultan Al Jaberi, vice president of regulations, HSE, and security at ADPC.
“The new app is a time-effective tool that will ease an important process for our customers and enable them to get in touch with us where and whenever it suits them best,” he explained.
Once a user’s application has been approved, he or she will receive an instant notification to proceed and collect a pass from the relevant port office.
The app’s designers hope that the tool will benefit customers, stakeholders, and contractors working in the port. It should also help to ease the process for more than 700 truck drivers who visit ADPC’s ports every day, potentially speeding up the time it takes them to drop off containers and cargo at the port.
The launch of the mobile tool coincides with the inauguration of ADPC’s service centre at Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Port in the UAE.
ADPC is now available for download on Apple and Android smartphones.
