Data flow trial kicks off
Portbase and Rhein Ports have launched a project to digitally connect maritime and inland ports, seeking to optimise data flow between Dutch seaports and Rhine-based inland ports.
Backed by the ports of Rotterdam, Duisburg, and the Port of Switzerland, this project aims to enhance efficiency and transparency along supply chains through seamless data exchange between the Portbase PCS and Rhein Ports RPIS systems. This will help to optimise planning and simplify the sharing of information, reducing complexity in logistics chains and providing value to all involved stakeholders.
The test phase, supported by logistics company Danser, begins now, building on prior declarations of intent. The objective is to establish a digital corridor by the end of 2024 that increases efficiency for inland navigation and ports, with full implementation planned for 2025. (pb)
