The Georgian Maritime Transport Agency (MTA) has announced that together with Prodevelop, in partnership with Hamburg Port Consulting (HPC) and Plisk Consulting, they have successfully implemented and launched Georgia’s National Maritime Single Window (NMSW).

The MSW, which is aligned with International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards, marks a pivotal advancement in enhancing Georgia’s Logistics Performance Index as it will help streamline communication across maritime stakeholders, reduce paperwork, and promote operational clarity through transparent data sharing.
The MSW is expected to significantly elevate the efficiency and security of operations by digitising information exchange processes and eliminating redundancies. Ship agents, port authorities, and other maritime stakeholders are expected to benefit from more streamlined workflows, ultimately fostering faster and safer port operations. The platform’s design and implementation were carried out with adherence to IMO regulations and best practices in the industry.
From process definition to software support, Prodevelop and HPC aimed to keep MSW’s architecture robust, compliant, and scalable for future integration with international maritime systems.
“The National Maritime Single Window is a cornerstone for Georgia’s maritime digital transformation,” said Aleksi Akhvlediani, Director of the Maritime Transport Agency (MTA). “This platform will drive efficiency, compliance with global standards, and our competitiveness in the international market. One of Georgia’s top priorities is the coordinated functioning of the transport and logistics sectors, modernisation/construction of transport infrastructure in line with international standards, harmonisation of legislation with international law, and integration into the Trans-European Transport Network.”
Earlier this year, Prodevelop and EUROGATE Group announced a collaboration to develop a digital twin of processes and equipment.
