The development of the Secure Chain and its implementation via the services of Portbase have been made possible in part by the Port Alliance Rotterdam, the National Growth Fund / Digital Infrastructure Logistics (DIL) and the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Port Alliance Rotterdam is a broad public-private partnership in which various government bodies (Police, Public Prosecution Service, Customs, Fiscal Information and Investigation Service, Municipal government, Tax Authorities, Harbor Master of Rotterdam, Regional Information and Expertise Centre) and private parties (Port of Rotterdam Authority, Deltalinqs) have consolidated all goals and measures aimed at boosting security in the port. DIL focuses on the further advancement of digitisation in logistics. The Port of Rotterdam Authority directly benefits from being an attractive, secure port and from the proper implementation of improvement measures to facilitate this.
