ROTTERDAM: The Port of Rotterdam Authority launched its new company
PortXchange Products BV (“PortXchange”) on August 8th 2019. This entity
is set up to offer the Pronto platform and application to ports around
the world over the next few years. The establishment of a separate
company will enable partnerships with a variety of global players.
Together with strategic partners Shell International Trading and
Shipping Company Limited (“Shell”) and A.P. Moller – Maersk, PortXchange
will initially offer Pronto to several ports outside the Netherlands.
The launch of PortXchange provides a platform to create new strategic
partnerships with ports, shipping companies and terminals, geared
towards implementing smart digital solutions like Pronto in ports
worldwide. This in turn contributes to the ambition of Port of Rotterdam
to become the world’s smartest port.
PortXchange
Trust between parties for the free exchange of data is vital to the successful introduction of Pronto in other ports. The establishment of a separate company enables the solution’s neutrality and independence, and improves cooperation between all parties.
PortXchange aims to improve the efficiency of port calls and help clients reduce their emissions – both in the port as well as between ports. To this end, the company provides Pronto: a joint platform that can be used by shipping companies, agents, terminals, port authorities and other (nautical) service providers, which enables them to optimally plan, execute and monitor all activities during a port call based on the exchange of standardised data. In addition, Pronto enables just-in-time sailing, which helps reduce carbon emissions.
A smart port is a connected port
Taking the lead in digital transformation enables the Port of Rotterdam to become more efficient, reliable and, as result, more competitive.
Partnerships
The first PortXchange partnerships have already been signed – with Shell and A.P. Moller – Maersk. “Pronto will be offered in several ports in Europe and the US before the end of the year. The ambition for the years ahead is to make Pronto available to ports worldwide. Partnerships with major international players like Shell and Maersk play a crucial part in making Pronto a global success,” said Allard Castelein, CEO, Port of Rotterdam Authority .
