6 Fragmentation 6

7 Do we need a NPCS? Up to 120 transactions for import and export of a single container Info highly repetitive Re-keying Amendments Visibility 7

8 Safety Overweight Containers Incorrectly declared containers NICTA Copyright 2010 From imagination to impact 8

9 Standardisation and Harmonisation Dangerous Goods formalities in seaports How many different portals? How many different procedures? Different interpretations Conflicts, problems etc. Increased Cost 9

10 3. Do we want one? 10

11 Do we want a NPCS? "In your opinion will a NPCS benefit your organisation?" 7% 93% Yes No 11

12 Importance of potential features and benefits that a NPCS is expected to deliver to SCPs 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Fewer data entry errors and re-keying A single, trusted, information source Use of open/(non proprietary) information standards Re-use of updated Easy access to information information and capabilities to re-arrange transport Very Low Low Medium High Very High 12

13 4. Why don t we have one? 13

14 Understanding of the terms PCS and Single Window Systems 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% Very High High Medium Low Very Low 30% 20% 10% 0% Port Community System Single Window' Systems 14

15 Reasons for lack of progress on a NPCS adoption in Australia All needs are met by existing IT Platforms Lack of inter-port competition to drive supply chain efficiency improvements Lack of regulatory environment driving change Some supply chain participants profit from inefficiencies Lack of clearly defined benefits Reluctance by some to change - regardless of clearly defined benefit! Fear or dislike of technology Ignorance of Port Community Systems and how they operate 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Very Low Low Medium High Very High 15

16 Other reasons Fear of change the status quo Lack of inter-port competition Past failures Fierce competition between supply chain stakeholders (lack of community) 16
