Lithuania Pilot

The pilot site is the Klaipėda seaport – a transport and economic hub of national importance connecting intermodal, rail, road and sea transport. The pilot was led by the competent authority Klaipėda State Seaport Authority as an authority-driven pilot, studying how competent authorities and port authorities can benefit from eFTI. Within the pilot, an AAP and a CA application were developed and connected to the port’s existing information management ecosystem (KIPIS).

Existing port systems already enabled the exchange of information and documents between competent authorities and economic operators. However, eFTI brings new requirements and opportunities for transport digitalisation, so these systems had to be upgraded for eFTI to succeed within the port community. The pilot focused on dangerous goods controls, with particular attention to hazardous goods of classes 1, 6.2 and 7.

eFTI in the seaport environment – digital dangerous goods controls for port competent authorities

Klaipėda State Seaport Authority piloted an AAP connected to the eFTI Gate and integrated into the port’s existing information management ecosystem. The pilot tested end-to-end eFTI data exchange in a real-world port scenario: when a road transport (e.g. a semi-trailer) enters the port area, the competent authority is notified of the dangerous goods information and carries out controls based on the DG classification.
