ODeX, in collaboration with the National Association of Freight and Logistics (NAFL), hosted “MPCI – Understanding the Regulation,” a panel discussion bringing together industry leaders and the National Advance Information Center (NAIC) team to provide practical clarity on the UAE’s Maritime Pre-Load Cargo Information (MPCI) requirements.
The event brought together freight forwarders, logistics providers, and industry stakeholders for a focused discussion on MPCI implementation, compliance readiness, and operational best practices.
The session began with networking and an overview of ODeX’s role in simplifying MPCI filing through digital workflows, followed by a panel discussion and live Q&A addressing real-world industry questions.
The panel featured Humaid Al Mazrouei, Loai El Kashef, Rafik Farid, and Liji Nowal, CEO of ODeX, who shared insights on regulatory expectations, operational readiness, and the importance of accurate and timely cargo data submission.
Liji Nowal, CEO of ODeX said: “MPCI represents a significant shift in how trade compliance is managed, and industry readiness is critical.
“Through initiatives like this panel discussion with NAFL and NAIC, we aim to provide the industry with the clarity and tools needed to navigate compliance confidently and ensure seamless cargo movement.”
The MPCI program, overseen by the National Advance Information Center (NAIC), requires shipment data to be electronically submitted prior to loading cargo destined for the UAE, enabling authorities to assess risk and strengthen border security while ensuring efficient trade flows.
This collaboration between ODeX, NAFL, and NAIC reflects a shared commitment to supporting the UAE’s logistics community through awareness, education, and digital enablement, ensuring a smoother transition to MPCI compliance across the industry.
