    About Project:

    The Maritime Transport Agency of Georgia  (MTA) is working with the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and other international donors to integrate and fully digitize the country’s maritime transport chain. With assistance from the US Department of Justice for the development of a Maritime Single Window (MSW) in Georgian ports. Building on this support and for the maritime transport chain to be fully integrated and digitized, the MSW should be linked with a Port Community System (PCS).

Project Story:

“Treading today along the Silk Way in the footsteps of my ancestor Marco Polo, we always intended to add a digital layer to the transport of goods. The aim is to speed up, efficientize, and increase the competitiveness of the so-called Middle Corridor linking China to Europe through Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Now we are there, but this is just the first step !” - this is how Marco Politi commented on the participation in Tbilisi at the official launch of the Port Community System project for all Georgian ports, developed by Actual I.T. (part of DBA Group) after winning a recent tender launched by the EBRD and financed by the EBRD, EU and the UK.

After 7 years of relentless activities in the Caspian and Black Sea area, we are now proud to serve with our software applications the Port of Baku, the ports of Bulgaria, and now also Georgia.

Call to action:

Donors, Georgian government decision-makers, and Consortium members are excited to launch the Port Community System project in Georgia. This project will add a digital layer to the transport of goods along the Silk Way, which is expected to speed up, streamline, and increase the competitiveness of the Middle Corridor.

Giorgi is an open-minded person who gets success because of the ability to see the large picture but never miss the smallest details. Projects under his management are always well-planned. In rare situations when something may go wrong, he never loses control thus motivating other team members to do their best and get success.

Having such a colleague is both important and pleasant, especially in an organization like Public Service Development Agency with highly dynamic nature and projects which are important not only for the organization itself but the country as a whole.

Giorgi and I worked at the National Bank of Georgia for several years. While belonging to different teams our tasks intersected very often. Giorgi definitely has an intimate knowledge of his own subject area. However, he is able to grasp the broader picture without ommitting the details very fast, which turns the team work into being extremely effective. Given his friendly, collegiate personality coupled with the above professional strengths Giorgi belongs to very few examples of both successful and effective managers defined by modern management theory.

First of all, Giorgi Lobzhanidze is a very sociable person and working with him is comfortable. His job approaches and professionalism enables you to grow as an employee, refine existing and acquire new skills, which will definitely succeed for further steps. He is a very open person, very frankness and that's the main dignity of him, accordingly, these employees around him feel comfortable of doing their job.

He is always ready for giving the right advises and directions. Despite the great theoretical and practical experiences, he is always open to different opinions as well. These qualities contribute to his employees to not get locked and to be more open to discussing issues. that attributes encourages their own staff.

During the year and a half, when I used to work with George, I learned and practiced many of his good practices especially in terms of project management. He is the head of the staff who every day feel about how do they grow up with Giorgi as professionals. 

I give this recommendation to him and think that he is one of the best professionals in his case.
