Initial roll-out of upgraded port system is now fully operational as Community Network Services prepares to expand into further key terminals including DP World London Gateway

Port system service provider Community Network Services has rolled out the latest phase of its new Port Community System (PCS) with initial terminals now fully operational.
The new PCS system, built on the cloud‑based Cargoes platform, is set to replace CNS’ legacy Compass system with a modern, user‑friendly interface that improves navigation, boosts productivity, and streamlines time‑critical workflows.
With the first phase now complete as a location‑by‑location deployment, CNS is now preparing to expand to additional key terminals, including DP World Southampton and DP World London Gateway.
“The new CNS PCS platform has already demonstrated significant improvements in speed, reliability, and visibility across our export operations,” said Seacon Group chairman and CEO, James Roth.
“Its intuitive design and integration flexibility make day-to-day processes more efficient and reduce manual intervention. We’re excited to see how this innovation will continue to enhance collaboration across the wider port community.”
CNS managing director, Matthew Bradley, said: “The transition to the new PCS system takes everything our customers value about Compass and enhances it for the digital era.
“Our investment in the Cargoes platform will help ensure we’re ready to meet the regulatory and operational challenges of tomorrow and keep trade flowing for our customers.”
