Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, will launch two new digital modules, the Maritime Single Window (MSW) and the Mercantile Maritime Department (MMD), on the Sagar Setu (NLP-M) platform. The launch ceremony will take place at Transport Bhawan, New Delhi, symbolizing a significant step towards a more modern and streamlined maritime landscape in the country. The MSW module is a digital platform that enables the electronic submission, processing, and exchange of maritime-related information and documents between government authorities, port operators, and stakeholders involved in international maritime trade. The MMD module provides vessel detention and release status information and will help the Mercantile Maritime Department share vessel survey information on the Sagar Setu platform.
These modules are part of the broader digital initiatives undertaken by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways to propel the maritime sector into the future. The MSW module was successfully tested with the officials of the Directorate General of Shipping, shipping agents, trade associations, and port officials of all major ports. The launch of these cutting-edge digital modules represents a significant advancement in the modernization and efficiency of the maritime sector in India.
