Chennai Port launches Port Setu to digitize export container tracking

Chennai Port launched 'Port Setu' to digitally track export container movement from Container Freight Stations to the port, aiming for faster, transparent processing. Developed by NACFS under the One Nation One Port Process initiative, the system uses ANPR, OCR, and RFID to record transit times and validate them against Customs-prescribed timelines, reducing manual checks. Phase II will fully digitize port gate entries. Officials say it improves trailer management and helps Customs ensure compliance with streamlined procedures.
