Visits to R.B.C./Cetem simplified by pre-notifying via Portbase
As of today, Monday the 1st of August, hauliers are able to pre-notify containers at R.B.C./Cetem through the Portbase service HCN Road. The pre-notifications will be mandatory as of Thursday the 1st of September. Following the pre-notification, you will automatically receive a TAR code and status information.
Advantages
R.B.C./Cetem is the next location to start making use of the Portbase service HCN Road. This offers the following advantages:
- One single window for the entire port: pre-notification via Port Community System (PCS)
- Advance insight into container status through status requests and pre-notifications
- Easy access to the depot via TAR code (Truck Appointment Reference)
- No longer necessary to visit the service desk
- Pre-notifying a visit during the day
TAR code and time slots
When pre-notifying at R.B.C./Cetem, you are also requesting a time slot. The TAR code that you receive via Portbase gives your driver easy access to the depot. R.B.C./Cetem uses a time slot from 06:00 to 20.30 hours.
Jorg Kleijn, Manager Business Development of RBC Terminal:
“In the current setting, drivers still have to report to the counter when visiting R.B.C. Pre-notification in Portbase saves the driver time and shortens the visit to our terminal.”
