The implementation of smart ports in Latin America requires integrating systems, standardizing data, and strengthening collaboration among the actors of the logistics-port community. According to Infoport, digital transformation must advance progressively, prioritizing interoperability and operational efficiency.
Port Community Systems (PCS) allow connecting authorities, terminals, shipping companies, transporters, and logistics operators, facilitating information exchange and operational coordination. Their development, along with Maritime Single Windows (MSW), contributes to improving traceability, logistics planning, and multimodal connectivity.
In Latin America, ports such as Chancay, in Peru, and the port terminals in Brazil are benchmarks for analyzing advances in modernization and logistics integration. The incorporation of digital solutions, collaborative governance, and efficient data exchange can optimize operations, strengthen port competitiveness, and boost international trade.
