Implementation of modern information solution for greater efficiency of intermodal transport through Port of Bar Case Study NAVIS

Abstract

Digitalization of logistical processes is an unstoppable process. The shipping companies are imposing new trends on ports that they must follow. On the other hand, the efficiency of shipping goods is one of the basic prerequisites for the competitiveness of a port. In both cases, the port must have an information system developed that will successfully connect the shipping companies to the logistics community in the hinterland. The subject of this paper is the potential implementation of such solution in Montenegro, the US software solution NAVIS. The aim of the paper is to explain the current state and present the benefits that intermodal traffic through the Port of Bar would have by implementing an information solution like this. The methods used in the paper are analyzing data obtained from the official websites of the NAVIS, the experience of ports that use the subject solution as well as analysis of existing processes that take place through the Port of Bar in intermodal transport. The results of the paper will present its hypothesis, the greater efficiency of logistical processes in Montenegro and primarily the Port of Bar which will contribute to a better competitive position of Port of Bar in intermodal transport.
