FAQs

When you fill in the application form for participating in this service, this will be taken care of automatically.
Are you already using Notification Import Documentation for the deepsea terminals and want to also prenotify documents to ferry and shortsea terminals? You will need to conclude an additional terminal contract with them. Portbase has drawn up a single umbrella terminal contract for this purpose, in consultation with the ferry and shortsea terminals. Please request this umbrella contract from sales@portbase.com and return it signed.
Please note! For existing Notification Import Documentation customers who work with a system interface, a modification is required to the service for prenotification at ferry terminals. On our website you can see which software suppliers have already made this modification. To be sure, check with your supplier whether your software is now suitable. If you are building your own, you can find the required message specifications at the Developer Portal.
