Certified Pick up to replace PIN codes from 15 January

Certified Pick up is a digital platform for container release at Port of Antwerp-Bruges. The system ensures safe, transparent and efficient container transport.

When Certified Pick up will be operational at all terminals and for all modes of transport in January, pin codes for picking up a container will be completely eliminated. This means that the import process for a container at all Antwerp container terminals will be done entirely through Certified Pick up.

In the coming months, we will make Certified Pick up available for barge and rail at the terminals. Afterwards, pilot projects will start at each terminal, and the link with Secure Container Release will also be complete for the shipping companies involved.

You can find more info about the registration process for your target group on the website of Certified Pick up:

• shipping agents
• terminal operators
• release parties
• transport operators

The website, which is completely self-contained, brings together all the information about the platform. You will also find some helpful instructional videos explaining how to use the platform there!
