Dubai South, dnata sign deal for digital cargo handling

Dubai South, the largest single-urban master development focusing on aviation, logistics and real estate, is collaborating with dnata, to enable a digitally driven gate control mechanism for shipments at the cargo handling terminals at Dubai South’s premises, which will be completed in less than a minute,” said a release from Dubai South. “Companies based at the Logistics District freezone and mainland as well as movers who transport goods to other ports will benefit substantially.” The collaboration involves the integration of Masary, an e-gate pass system by Dubai South, with dnata’s appointment & dock management, a system used by dnata’s clients to apply for appointments to access the free zone for the loading and off-loading of shipments, the release said. “This will ensure a seamless, paperless experience for customers entering and exiting Dubai South gates under dnata’s designated appointment system for goods movement, which will enable faster procedures for customers at the gates, emphasising their satisfaction.”
