The development of various systems for local shipping port operation and management
has been significant in the last several years along with the rapid growth of port activities.
This project serves the purpose to suggest a new compound system to replace the existing
system for use by local port management body. Focusing on improving the functions and
capabilities of the existing system, the project detects weaknesses of the current system
and investigates possible improvements that can be made prior to the requirements
imposed by port management. The architecture and process flow of the existing system
are referred as the basic guideline for the entire development process. System users and
Information Technology personnel of Kuantan Port as the target research area are
consulted during the early stages of the development process via interviews to assist in
system analysis. Based on the findings from this study, a new compound system is
proposed for use as an enhanced system containing necessary and additional features to
port management body
