‘FENEX feels that submitting the VGM via a single channel can lead to a considerable reduction in costs. The administrative burden resulting from the VGM requirement should be minimised wherever possible. This Portbase service contributes in that area, making it a valuable addition to their portfolio of services,’ says Marty van Pelt of FENEX.
