Discover the smart applications that will make your work at the port smoother and more efficient. Whether you want to reserve a mooring, order towing services, file waste reports or apply for your permits, the right application will have you up and running in no time.
The Port Authority, along with NxtPort, offers several applications to help you work more efficiently. The use of some applications, such as APICS or Zedis, is mandatory. These can help you easily put all the legally required notifications in order. For example, you can also use them to request various services or to retrieve data online. This makes it possible to optimally coordinate all processes at the port.
Shipping agents and freight forwarders, pilotage and towage companies, waterway police and customs, port dues staff and other logistical players in the supply chain can access APICS or Zedis for free.
