Hamburg Port Consulting HPC (HPC), in partnership with software provider Prodevelop and local Plisk Consulting, has announced a successful post-go-live health check of Georgia’s National Maritime Single Window (MSW).
The MSW is designed to simplify the complex maritime landscape, reducing friction points and building trust among stakeholders. This digital platform, used by over 400 people in Georgia’s maritime community, successfully passed a thorough process and technical health check.
This platform enables seamless communication between maritime stakeholders, reduces paperwork, and enhances situational awareness by providing transparent operational data.
The MSW reportedly eliminates redundant processes, allowing ship agents, port authorities, and other stakeholders to operate with greater ease. By digitising information exchange, the platform reduces administrative burden, facilitating faster, safer maritime operations.

This project has been spearheaded by HPC, in collaboration with software provider Prodevelop and local consultancy Plisk Consulting. Following a competitive tender process, this consortium emerged as the winning team, tasked with defining, designing, developing, and implementing the MSW.
The scope of HPC’s involvement includes process definition, requirement engineering, and software implementation support, all in strict adherence to IMO regulations.
Aleksi Akhvlediani, Director of the Maritime Transport Agency (MTA), commented: “The National Maritime Single Window represents the first critical step in the digital transformation of Georgia’s maritime sector. This platform will enhance our efficiency, align us with global standards, and improve our competitiveness on the international stage.”

As Nuno Nunes, Deputy Vice President Europe and Project Lead at HPC, further explained: “By implementing the Maritime Single Window, we are not just enhancing processes; we are building a foundation of trust among all stakeholders.
“Too often, digital solutions go live without making significant impact. The MSW health check provides assurances beyond the technical Go Live – it ensures user adoption and confirms that the streamlined workflows offered by the MSW are poised to trigger a profound transformation in Georgia’s maritime industry.”
