The Port Authority of Marín and Pontevedra Estuary completed this week the migration of its Local Single Window (VUL) services to the new DUEPort online platform. This new Spanish Maritime Port Single Window, developed and managed by State Ports, allows the various stakeholders and authorities within the port community to interact electronically and submit, only once, the information required for a vessel's call at a Spanish port, streamlining the process. In this way, the Port Authority is anticipating the provisions of European Regulation 2019/1239/EU, which aims to harmonize the procedures of the European Union Customs Code with the creation of a Maritime-Port Single Window (EMSWe) environment and which will be mandatory by summer 2025. DUEPort is the central point for communicating the information to be declared when a vessel calls at a Spanish port. The harmonization of port call information entails a modification of the procedures established to date, both for requesting and managing port calls and for submitting cargo manifests and summary declarations for temporary storage.
