Reuse of information
The service Notification SafeSeaNet reuses the data that shipping lines, shipbrokers and agents have previously submitted to you, the port authority, via the Portbase services Vessel Notification, Notification Dangerous Goods and Notification Waste Disposal. The only details the port authority needs to add to the service Notification SafeSeaNet via the Port Community System are each vessel’s current arrival and departure times.
No worries
With the service Notification SafeSeaNet, information is automatically sent to SPOC NL from the Port Community System via Single Window maritime and air. As the port authority, once you are connected you no longer have to worry about this.
