Register Your Containers with Portbase at Ease

Whether you are importing to or exporting from the European Union through Dutch seaports, it is essential to correctly and promptly register your containers with Portbase. This not only saves you time but also maximizes cost savings. However, this process can pose a challenge. Gateway assists you in automating your Portbase processes through integration between our customs software and Portbase.

Portbase: The platform in Dutch ports

Portbase is the digital community system that serves as the hub for the exchange of logistical information in Dutch ports. With Rotterdam and Amsterdam as significant global trade centers, Portbase is invaluable for the smooth flow of containers. Every container entering or leaving the port must be mandatory registered with Portbase. However, this poses additional administrative burdens for companies if they manage the process manually.
