What is DocPort?
According to the Sea Ports Administration of Ukraine, the DocPort system allows:
-
Pre-registration of drivers' passes online, accessible via any device with Internet access.
-
Passes sent directly to drivers' messengers, making the process quicker and more efficient.
-
Queue management by regulating the flow of trucks into the port, reducing downtime and improving cargo processing speeds.
-
Document preparation for entry and the ability to respond promptly to emergencies such as vehicle breakdowns.
-
Reduced paperwork and bureaucracy at checkpoints by digitizing the entry process.
The Importance of DocPort for Odessa
Oleksandr Semirga, Head of the State Enterprise “USPA”, commented:
“Today, when ports operate under conditions of war and high responsibility, we must ensure the speed and maximum manageability of all logistics processes. DocPort allows us to minimize risks and improve the quality of service for all market participants."
After successful implementations in Reni, Izmail, and Chornomorsk, scaling DocPort to Odessa — one of Ukraine's key logistics hubs — became the logical next step.
How DocPort Works
DocPort operates on a "metered entry" principle:
-
Drivers wait at designated sites where they activate their passes.
-
Only vehicles ready to enter receive active passes to proceed.
-
All data is stored in a unified database, meaning drivers and vehicles only need to be registered once to access any participating port.
The system is free to use and open for connection by all companies involved in cargo handling, promoting a standardized and efficient logistics system across Ukraine’s major ports.
