Palestinian Shippers Council

Palestinian Shippers Council Today, the PSC is well established with a growing membership of 390 members.

The Palestinian Shippers Council is a non-profit organization that is mandated to addressing the urgent needs of the Palestinian private sector with the objective of reducing the transaction cost and facilitating trade. The Palestinian Shippers' Council (PSC) was registered in 2006 with the Palestinian Authority as an autonomous, non-profit association to form a national shippers' council that is

capable of addressing the urgent needs of the shippers' community generated by the protracted conflict seeking to contribute in the Palestinian economic development and trade expansion through measures that promote trade efficiency and facilitation at all stages of the maritime and related transport logistical chain; and supporting the PA's reform and long-term trade development efforts. The PSC establishment was achieved through a technical cooperation project between:

The European Commission Technical Assistance Office (ECTAO) for the West Bank and Gaza, which funded the project;
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), which provided technical support to the project, and operated in the occupied territories under the umbrella of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP);
The Palestinian Trade Center (Paltrade), which provided local outreach and logistical support for the PSC during its start-up period. It is governed by an elected chairperson and an elected Board of Directors (BoD), who represent the General Assembly of regular (voting) members (shippers) and associate (non-voting) members (forwarders, transporters, trade-promotion and industrial or professional associations, etc.). Above all, the PSC has successfully established itself as a focal point for solving the problems reported to it by its members, with tangible benefits for the shipping community in terms of cost reductions and trade opportunities. The Council is also involved in ongoing efforts to facilitate Palestinian trade through/with Jordan and Egypt. PSC members, and the Palestinian shipping community at large, are benefiting from the PSC's training workshops on such issues as export and import documentation and supply chain management.

تأسس مجلس الشاحنين الفلسطيني عام 2006، كجمعية غير ربحية تهدف لتلبية احتياجات الشاحنين الفلسطينيين الملحة والناتجة عن الصراع الفلسطيني الطويل، والمساهمة في التنمية الاقتصادية ودعم جهود السلطة الوطنية الفلسطينية من خلال اتخاذ التدابير اللازمة لتطوير التجارة، وجاء ذلك ضمن إطار تعاون تقني بين عدة أطراف:

ممول المشروع وهو مكتب المساعدة التقنية للمفوضية الأوروبية (ECTAO).
ومؤتمر الأمم المتحدة للتجارة والتنمية (UNCTAD) الذي دعم المشروع بشكل تقني بالتعاون مع برنامج الأمم المتحدة للتنمية والتطوير (UNDP).
مركز التجارة الفلسطيني (Paltrade) والذي منح المجلس في بداية انطلاقته امتدادا محليا ودعم لوجستيا.

يعمل المجلس حاليا في كل من مناطق الضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة، ويصل عدد الأعضاء المنتسبين للمجلس إلى 370 عضوا من كافة مناطق الأراضي الفلسطينية. يدار المجلس بواسطة رئيس المجلس المنتخب وأعضاء مجلس إدارة منتخبين من الهيئة العامة. وتضم الهيئة العامة أعضاء ناخبين (الشاحنين)، وأعضاء لا يتمتعون بكامل الحقوق والواجبات (غير ناخبين) من وكلاء وشركات شحن، مؤسسات ترويج التجارة، بالإضافة إلى جمعيات صناعية ومهنية.
