A delegation from Djibouti, comprising representatives from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Equipment, the Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority, and Djibouti Port Community Systems (DPCS SAS), participated in the Sub-Regional Workshop on Maritime Single Windows and Port Community Systems, held in Dar es Salaam from 20 to 24 April 2026.
The workshop was organized by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the World Bank under the SSATP initiative.
This regional workshop forms part of global efforts to accelerate the implementation of Maritime Single Windows across East and Southern Africa. Following the adoption of the IMO Facilitation Committee directive (FAL 46), the use of Maritime Single Window platforms became mandatory for all ports of IMO Member States as of 1 January 2024.
In this context, Djibouti Port Community Systems (DPCS SAS), alongside the Mauritius Single Window, KenTrade, and the Busan Port Community System, was selected and presented as a global best practice to guide and inspire ongoing reforms across the region.
During the workshop, the presentation dedicated to Djibouti Port Community Systems (DPCS SAS) highlighted the platform’s evolution through a structured three-stage vision, illustrating its progressive transformation into a fully integrated digital logistics ecosystem.
The quality of the presentation and the level of maturity achieved by the platform made a strong impression on participants, generating significant interest from several countries, many of which expressed their intention to benefit from Djibouti’s expertise through future on-site benchmarking missions.
The DPCS platform was widely regarded as one of the most advanced models among those presented, due to:
• the breadth of its implementation scope;
• the impact of its traceability features on transparency and real-time visibility of logistics operations;
• the added value of its dashboards and market intelligence data for investors, regulatory bodies, and public policy monitoring.
Through these achievements, DPCS was presented as a technical solution, but also as a fully integrated ecosystem that strengthens efficiency, transparency, and national competitiveness.
