Service Desk
Portbase’s Service Desk is the single point of contact for your questions concerning the services. Contact our team of trained and specialised staff for the answers to all your questions.
Availability
The Service Desk can be contacted 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Do you have any questions or would you like to submit a notification? Please contact the Service Desk. They are available during office hours, from 8:00 to 18:00, at +31 (0)88 625 25 25 or via e-mail at servicedesk@portbase.com. Urgent notifications outside of office hours can be passed on to the Service Desk member on standby. Our staff member on standby can only be reached by phone. The standby number is +31 (0)6 51 88 44 56. We will only read e-mails outside of office hours if this has been agreed to with the staff member on standby.
Determining priority
Once you have submitted your notification, our Service Desk will prioritize based on a number of criteria. The priority of your notification will indicate the time the Service Desk expects to invest in solving your notification. An example for Vessel Notification: Priority 1 will be allocated when a ship will arrive within 72 hours or if it has already arrived. Priority 2 will be allocated if a ship will arrive within a time frame of 72 hours to a week. A ship arriving after 1 week will be allocated priority 3. All general questions will also be allocated priority 3.
Reports
You will receive several reports informing you of developments regarding your notification. These reports will be sent to the e-mail address listed for the person who has submitted the notification.
Overview of the various reports
