From next July 1 it will become mandatory in the port of Palermo, the use by all port operators of the Port Community System (PCS). The PCS Sinfomar computer system allows the management of the traffic of ships, vehicles and goods in port. It is a database that can communicate through automatisms with the systems of the central organs of the State (Customs, Harbour Master's Office, Istat, Napa), relieving everyone of the repeated Communications. The aim, in fact, is to speed up the operations related to security, logistics and Customs. Dialogue between systems and interoperability allows a decisive streamlining but also a reduction in the processing of import/export processes. The recipients of the PCS are agents, freight forwarders, hauliers, central customs, and premises, harbour master's office.

The PCS implementation project has begun through the reuse of the Sinfomar software adopted years ago by the Port System Authority of the Adriatic Sea Eastern. Following participation in the October 2023 call published by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport for the development and implementation of Port Community System services for interoperability with public administrations, the Port System Authority of the Sea of Sicily Occidentale was the beneficiary of a grant equal to to one million euros. The Sicilian Port Authority, with the support of Circle A group that includes Infoera, a company specialising in IT companies, it has therefore equipped itself with the PCS.
