Dunkirk.

Objective achieved thanks to MGI

In 2013, the Port of Dunkirk took a major step in modernizing its logistics operations with the implementation of the AP+ Port Community System.

This project, led by PCS Hauts-de-France in collaboration with MGI, aimed to replace the GEMINI system while ensuring functional continuity. With diverse traffic (containers, ro-ro, bulk, conventional) and a broad user community, the port needed a reliable, collaborative, and interconnected tool to strengthen its competitiveness and streamline exchanges.
