STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PROMOTION OF IT SYSTEM FOR PORT ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

Abstract

 The Port-EDI is an Information Technology system for processing the port administrative procedures. In recent years, the International Maritime Organization has been accelerating the digitization of the port administrative procedures in the countries, which have not developed the Port-EDI yet. Also, some ASEAN member countries are interested in the development of the Port-EDI. In order to support the development, this paper describes the analysis of the related research works, world trends of the Port-EDI, and development of the Port-EDI in Myanmar, which was Japan's first successful international business promotion of this system. Finally, the authors discuss the implications of future international business promotion of the Port-EDI.
