By Sami Zaptia.

London, 10 March 2021:

A letter was circulated yesterday by the Customs Authority to all concerned entities that the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) system is to continue in operation.

The news comes despite protests by the Chamber of Commerce, Maritime Chamber and businesses. It also continues despite the Audit Bureau instigating an investigation into the controversial contract for the ECTN service with Turkish company SCK.
