The Executive Secretary and the National Secretary of Ports and Water Transport of the Ministry of Infrastructure (MINFRA), Marcelo Sampaio and Diogo Piloni, respectively, met on January 20 with representatives of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB), representatives of the Ministry of Economy’s Special Secretariat of Foreign Trade (SECEX) and the Digital Government Secretariat (SGD), and with the Federal Data Processing Service (SERPRO) for the presentation and approval of the implementation schedule for the Single Waterway Window. This project refers to the integration of two systems: Porto sem Papel (PSP), managed by MINFRA, and the Single Foreign Trade Portal (PUCOMEX), managed by the RFB and SECEX. “This is one of the main digital transformation projects at MINFRA. We took another important step towards the federal government’s mission to reduce bureaucracy and reduce costs for the country. The unification of these two systems will have a positive impact on the port logistics sector and thereby increase Brazil’s competitiveness,”said Sampaio. Secretary Diogo Piloni added that the project is integrated with other initiatives in the portfolio: “This project will generate greater efficiency for carrying out port operations, together with other initiatives for modernization and digital transformation in Brazilian ports,” he said.
