The Border Management Authority launched and began piloting the Port Health Management System (PHMS) at Durban Harbour. The digital platform replaces the largely email-based process for port health services and enables users to submit requests, upload documents, schedule and record inspections, manage invoicing and payments, and track requests electronically. The Durban pilot will inform the system's subsequent rollout to other applicable ports of entry.
