Brazil’s Ministry of Ports and Airports has enhanced its national “Porto Sem Papel” digital port platform with an AI‑driven system that automatically validates Maritime Health Declarations (DMS) for all Brazilian ports. The solution, which reduces manual checks, errors and vessel delays, has earned second place in the Cais Açulab 2026 award for Digital Transformation.
Brazil’s Ministry of Ports and Airports announced that an AI‑based project for automatic validation of the Maritime Health Declaration (DMS), developed under the “Porto Sem Papel” programme, has secured second place in the Cais Açulab 2026 award in the Digital Transformation category. The system replaces manual document checks with an advanced technological solution that validates DMS across all ports in Brazil, targeting long‑standing bottlenecks such as error‑prone paperwork, high administrative costs and logistics delays caused by traditional health documentation procedures for ships.
