Market parties
Vessel notification 2.2 can be used by shipping companies/cargo handling agents active in all segments: containers, general cargo, dry bulk and liquid bulk.

Business issues
The mandatory supply of information by companies to government agencies always used to be a labor-intensive, often paper procedure involving couriers and a substantial overlap in information, especially toward Customs. This resulted in unnecessary delays in the import and throughput of shipments.

Via Vessel notification 2.2, companies ensure themselves of a streamlined declaration process. The web service also facilitates the feedback offered by the Harbor master regarding the 'call reference number' (replaces the General Declaration number) and the issuing of up-to-date status information. Companies retain the option to add and/or alter information throughout the entire process.

The advantages at a single glance

Fast, efficient and reliable brief notification process;
Reduction of administrative burden;
Lower costs;
Improved level of customer service.
