Participating shipping companies
An overview of participating shipping companies can be found here. This list also indicates whether or not you will receive a response to your notifications from the shipping company in question. Our service is recommended by evofenedex and FENEX.
‘FENEX feels that submitting the VGM via a single channel can lead to a considerable reduction in costs. The administrative burden resulting from the VGM requirement should be minimised wherever possible. This Portbase service contributes in that area, making it a valuable addition to their portfolio of services,’ says Marty van Pelt of FENEX.
