Breakthrough: ports join forces at strategic level1 October 2008As of 1 July 2009, the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam will have one joint port community system. To achieve this, the organisations behind the two current systems - Port infolink in Rotterdam and PortNET in Amsterdam – are to merge. Via one port community system, the new organisation will offer customers of the two ports an even broader range of services for the exchange of data both between them and with the port authorities and Customs.
