P&O Ferries introduces free digital ‘Travel Wallet’

08 February 2022/Categories: Industry News, Freight Forwarding, Logistics & Supply Chain, Operations Management, Ports, Maritime & Waterways, Brexit


P&O Ferries is to offer its freight customers a purpose-built, new digital product aimed at easing border control issues caused by Brexit. The organisation is set to welcome the new digital ‘Travel Wallet’  completely free of charge, to help hauliers navigate the pre-journey process and make it as simple as possible for all drivers checking-in at their ports.

The Travel Wallet hopes to help customers identify which documents are required for each movement based on the route and the cargo being shipped.

According to P&O Ferries, the new tool will help reduce check-in times and queues at ports significantly, estimating that it could reduce check-in times by up to 50%.

 

Peter Hebblethwaite, Chief Executive of P&O Ferries, said:

 “The new border regulations add complexity, time and cost to all areas of the process, but they are here to stay and will become business-as-usual over time. We believe it is up to everyone in the sector to do all they can to simplify the processes to make them as efficient as possible, and this is something P&O Ferries is committed to.”

 

Matthew Bradley, Managing Director of CNS/CARGOES Community in the UK, stated:

“Our BEEMS Border Management Products are aimed at minimising the disruption caused by the new paperwork requirements, to ensure the flow of cargo continues as smoothly and efficiently as possible. These products are now live, with some enhancements and new routes planned for later in the year. The final full suite of products will offer solutions for all areas of the supply chain involved in importing and exporting in and out of the UK.”
