Cathay first to offer end to end digital imports

[ January 31, 2024   //   ]

Cathay Cargo says it has become the first cargo terminal operator in Hong Kong to provide full end-to-end digital import process, using Airport Authority Hong Kong’s HKIA Cargo Data Platform. The launch of Electronic Shipment Release Forms (eSRF) speeds up the import collection process and enabling freight forwarders to plan their work schedule with more flexibility. It adds that eSRFs are more secure than paper/manual identification verification, reduce archiving storage for freight agents and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Airlines can issue the eSRF to forwarders or consignees for pre-registration, automatic truck dock allocation, and online queuing for cargo clearance. With the inspection confirmation being recorded electronically, a cargo release confirmation will be shown on the mobile device.
