Newsletter: Deadline 1 October rapidly approaching

The third phase of the implementation of the Secure Chain in the port of Rotterdam is in full swing. The container shipping lines are busily connecting companies with import containers from Africa, the Middle East, India and Pakistan. The deadline for this is the 1st of October 2024. Starting from this date, the shipping lines/ship agents will only securely and reliably release containers from these sailing areas via the Secure Chain. The use of PIN codes will be discontinued.

In this newsletter, you can read what you need to do and much more.
