The Port of Rotterdam Authority, subsidiary PortBase, and five deep sea terminals have developed a real-time digital overview of arrival times to provide real-time information, after the Suez Canal obstruction.
Many sea-going vessels have been delayed as a consequence of the Suez Canal obstruction. As delayed vessels are arriving in quick succession in Rotterdam, there are many scheduling changes.
For this reason, the Port of Amsterdam, along with its partners created a real-time digital overview of arrival times on www.portbase.com/suez. Transporters, shippers and end recipients of freight can see well in advance when and which vessels are scheduled to be processed in Rotterdam.
The overview on the PortBase website insight into the terminal schedules at all Port of Rotterdam deep sea terminals in one central overview.
This can accelerate the smooth handling of containers and certainly of cargo that is now arriving later in Rotterdam as a consequence of the Suez Canal obstruction. This service demonstrates the added value of sharing data to the entire logistics chain

The website is also freely accessible for everyone, and requires no login. Website visitors can find information on the available tracking options after the cargo has been unloaded in the Port of Rotterdam.
For the time being, the real-time online service will be offered until 9 May.
