Su昀昀olk Coastal Port Health Authority (SCPHA) provides and updates
comprehensive online guidance about import controls, operational
changes and legislative requirements for importers. This is then
emailed proactively to a growing list of subscribers and shared on
social media.
Su昀昀olk Coastal Port Health Authority (SCPHA) has developed the
sophisticated Port Health Interactive Live Information System (PHILIS)
to track vessel arrivals, record health checks, manage correspondence
and process imports as quickly as possible. This is outsourced to the
majority of Britain’s port health authorities, with ongoing support and
maintenance provided by SCPHA’s IT team. PHILIS communicates with
other industry-standard systems such as IPAFFS, Destin8 and CNS
Compass to exchange crucial information electronically.
The much-anticipated next evolution of PHILIS, called NEOMA, is
currently being developed by SCPHA’s IT team. This will use
cutting-edge technology, such as arti昀椀cial intelligence, to increase
the e昀케ciency of port health operations and cut down on waste.
