The SCMTR system has been introduced to streamline maritime trade processes, enhance cargo visibility and ensure advanced risk management. It has been observed that despite guidelines and the parallel run phase, it has been observed that a significant volume of manifest and transhipment filings continues to be routed through the Supplementary IGM/EGM process. This dual-system operation dilutes data integrity, creates administrative redundancies, and delays the ultimate sunsetting of legacy modules.
