Due to our neutral position in the various port communities and our close relationship with the main port and federal authorities we have access to a whole range of data. Combining the information from various sources allows us to give an accurate overview of the timings of your vessels.
Vessel tracking
Our dedicated and experienced staff is available 24/7 to follow the whereabouts of your vessels. You can ask us to warn you when a certain ship movement has passed (e.g. arrival at pilot station, entering/exiting the lock, shifting between berths…). Alternatively you can take a subscription which allows you to call our staff any time of the day for an update on your vessel’s movements. They can also assist you to do the necessary administrative updates in the various port systems.
Red Alert List
In case of emergencies or calamities in the port area you may want to be kept up to date about the measures taken by the port authorities.
