Our operations are in full motion and we are seeing an exponential growth in registered users on the system, with now 37,000 voyages recorded on the system. We have developed multiple digital interfaces that complement the port community system which were designed to give users more control and a seamless experience in their trade transactions. Al Manara app and KIZAD’s web portal are our latest additions to a portfolio of over 100 digital services that are expected to boost efficiency.”

Al Manara was especially designed for Maqta PCS users to track the movement of vessels and cargo through the “Track-and-Trace” feature which provides real-time updates of the status of their shipments. On the other hand, Maqta Gateway has developed a web portal for KIZAD, which facilitates the processing of applications, renewals for business prospects who are setting-up their businesses at the industrial zones.
