The Port of Rotterdam Authority is focused on optimizing ship visits for safety and efficiency by enhancing the accuracy of terminal and berth location data, thanks to a partnership with the Royal Netherlands Navy Hydrographic Service. Unique Global Location Numbers (GLNs) have been assigned to port infrastructure to eliminate confusion from name changes. This standardized data is integrated into key systems, allowing real-time updates for shippers and maritime service providers. The Authority encourages other ports to adopt similar data-sharing practices, promoting a scalable solution for global maritime operations.
