The Gambia Ports Authority (GPA) has launched the new Port Management Information System (PMIS) developed by Prodevelop.
Led by Prodevelop, the PMIS system, known as Posidonia, went live on 3 April 2025, after a six-month deployment process.
It now manages core functions such as port calls, cargo handling, port services, invoicing, and electronic document submissions, placing GPA among regional ports equipped with modern, efficient port management tools.
GPA Managing Director, Ousman M. Jobarteh, emphasised the transformational impact of this project.
“This system is already changing how we operate. With real-time analytics, automated workflows, and improved stakeholder coordination, Port of Banjul is positioning itself for increased trade efficiency and international competitiveness,” Jobarteh stated.

Prodevelop’s Deputy CRO, Christophe Joubert, showcased the platform’s key features, including future integration capabilities with ERP systems, Port Community Systems (PCS), and potential Vessel Traffic Service (VTS).
The project’s implementation involved close collaboration with GPA’s IT team, adopting a phased approach supported by AWS infrastructure, diagnostics, training, and continuous feedback.
Captain Kulay Manneh, Director of Harbours, highlighted the strategic importance:
“This is just the beginning. PMIS will enable us to optimise port calls, improve safety, and generate valuable insights. We are committed to embracing technological change for sustainable growth.”
