Synergies with major tech ecosystems
We forge synergies with the largest tech ecosystems in Greece. ExportGate has teamed up with the Hellenic Port Community System (HPCS), Hellenic Port Community’s first electronic platform. Import and export businesses have free access to the HPCS platform.
HPCS automates, certifies and interconnects port and supply chain operations. By automating the import/export flows of products and containers it:
- Ensures their fast, secure and orderly traffic by sea, road, rail and air.
- Accelerates and safeguards the completion and coordination of all procedures, and the exchange of information.
Furthermore, the HPCS platform connects the Hellenic Port Community’s public and private agencies with all traders: customs authorities, shipping agents, freight forwarders, customs brokers, ports, railways, airports and logistics businesses.
The services of the HPCS platform are provided by PCT SA (Piraeus Container Terminal SA), a member of the COSCO SHIPPING Ports Ltd. Group, and PCDC SA (Piraeus Consolidation and Distribution Center SA). They aim to:
- Further develop services for the Hellenic Port Community’s electronic platform, to facilitate import and export trade.
- Bring more traders to the platform.
- Establish Greece as a value-added and logistics services hub.
