Coordinate with everything and everyone, but without giving too much information to your competitors

Few players operate with so many parties in the port as Euro Nordic. The company focuses on the entire logistics chain, from warehousing to scheduled services and from agencies to chartering. As Managing Director, Kees Groeneveld knows all about what communication and particularly sharing data, means for efficiency. As he says himself: ‘All data that arrive in the system improve predictability.’

Of course we don’t want to give competitors any more information than strictly needed, which is why the Portbase digital infrastructure handles commercial information and personal data with extreme care.


Reliable and secure information exchange

Cyber security is a key issue for the future of port logistics. As well as securing and protecting data entered by various parties to prevent information ending up in the wrong hands, the platform itself also needs protection.

Increasing criminality is an issue that is putting pressure on the position of Dutch ports. It is also a trend that we must prevent at all costs, which is partly why Portbase established the ‘Secure Data-Sharing’ program.

CEO, Euro Nordic Logistics B.V.


The Secure Chain

The Secure Chain is a joint initiative by government and industry for the physically and digitally secure collection of containers in the Port of Rotterdam. PIN codes are disappearing; instead, there will be a closed release and collection process involving only authorised shipping lines, agents, shippers, forwarders and inland operators.

Het recht voor het ophalen van een container wordt doorgegeven van rederij naar expediteur(s), naar uiteindelijk de desbetreffende wegvervoerder, spoor- of binnenvaartoperator. Alleen een geautoriseerde vervoerder kan bij de terminal voormelden en daar de container ophalen.

That means more security around the handling of your cargo. In this way, data is shared securely within a trusted chain.
