First training courses for future users of ILIS

Port Governance Agency organized the first training courses for the port operators, for the use of the ILIS information system in its premises in Belgrade. This software is the result of the participation of the Port Governance Agency in the Danube Skills project. The aim of the Danube SKILLS project is to build institutional capacities and to strengthen the promotion of Danube navigation.

The ILIS information system will collect and process the actual operating data in each port, such as the volume of reloaded goods, the number of passengers, the reloading locations etc. In addition, ILIS will enable monitoring of the activities of port and passenger terminal operators, and the gathered information will be used for the analyses required for long-term port development plans. Future users of the ILIS will enter the requested data in a few easy steps, which will speed up the process and reduce current administrative procedures.

Organized trainings will provide the professional support to the port and passenger terminal operators, for the successful use of ILIS in day-to-day operations, in order to create equal market conditions for all participants in the waterway transport. In addition to the first training courses organized for port operators in the Port of Pancevo and the Port of Belgrade, trainings will be organized for the other port and passenger terminals in Serbia. The official launch of ILIS is scheduled for the beginning of 2019. Participation in projects such as Danube Skills improves the development of port activity and represents progress in this area. Development of the Information System ILIS is also another professional and developmental task of the Port Governance Agency in order to simplify the procedures and regulate port activity.
