Reuse of information

The service Notification Single Window reuses the data that shipping lines, shipbrokers and agents have previously submitted to you, the port authority, via the Portbase services Vessel Notification, Notification Dangerous Goods and Notification Waste Disposal. The only details the port authority needs to add to the service Notification Single Window via the Port Community System are each vessel’s current arrival and departure times.

No worries

With the service Notification Single Window, information is automatically sent to SPOC NL from the Port Community System via Single Window maritime and air. As the port authority, once you are connected you no longer have to worry about this.
