Tiivistelmä
The main objective of the study was to create a description of the cargo and information flow between port-related parties for Kotka Maritime Research Centre’s needs. The second purpose was to find out how eCustoms innovations and new regulations affect forwarder companies and Customs’ actions.
The theoretical framework consists of the supply chain management from the informational point of view, discussion about SCM itself, significance of information technology for SCM and the possibilities of RFID technology for SCM. The second chapter of theoretical framework consists mainly of transit traffic and its’ current situation.
The empirical part was based on the description of port related parties, their position in SCM and the processes which they deal with. This part was for Kotka Maritime research Centre. The independent study was based on eCustoms functions and development. The target was to find out the bottlenecks between Customs and forwarder companies and their common programs.
