The Secure Chain endeavours to boost the resilience of the (digital) port processes. A large number of parties have joined forces for the Secure Chain. Combined, the initiating parties represent all the links in the logistics chain: from shipping line/ ship agent, shipper and forwarder to the logistics service provider, inland operator (truck, train, inland shipping) and terminal. Also the Port of Rotterdam Authority, the Municipality of Rotterdam, Dutch Customs, the Seaport Police and several semi-public organisations support the Secure Chain. Portbase has been requested by the collaborating parties to focus on the technical realisation of certain aspects of the Secure Chain.
