About us
Portbase was founded in 2009 by Port of Rotterdam and Port of Amsterdam and has the broad support of the port business community. Our ambition is to make the logistics chains of the Dutch ports as attractive as possible through a one-stop shop. Portbase connects all parties in the logistics chains of the Dutch ports to this end. Via the Port Community System, Portbase facilitates data sharing between companies and information exchange with governments in order to work faster, more efficiently and at lower costs. Together with our growing community, Portbase is making data sharing increasingly valuable. With the aim of making the Dutch port community and thus the ports, the smartest in Europe. Portbase is neutral, of and for the port community and has no profit motive.

Customer panels
The client panels include a broad delegation of clients and their sector organisations for each target group. Based on the strategic objectives and the established selection criteria, the client panels set priorities for their specific domain. These together form the (concept) domain roadmap. Based on these priorities, Portbase proposes a community roadmap. The frameworks for the community roadmap are the aforementioned strategic objectives and the available capacity.

There is also a relatively small, decisive Strategic Advisory Council (SAR) in which representatives from the client groups discuss integral priorities. It ensures an accepted community roadmap, an improved bond with and between umbrella organisations and the creation of support among the supporters. The SAR looks at the digital agenda of the ports and advises on Portbase’s strategic portfolio objectives. It looks beyond domains and client groups to what is good for the ports and their community.
