Ten profiles

Find your profile

Shipping lines
A shipping line runs bookings, documents and fleet systems across many countries, and depends on every terminal it calls at.
Terminal operators
A container terminal runs its TOS, its gates, OCR and cranes on networks that lines, hauliers and authorities all connect to.
Trucking companies
Hauliers book appointments in terminal systems, and their trucks wait at the gate when those systems stop.
Freight forwarders
A forwarder holds bookings, documents and data for many shippers, and exchanges them every day with lines, terminals and customs.
Shippers and BCOs
Industrial shippers and beneficial cargo owners depend on lines, forwarders and terminals they do not run.
3PL providers
Third-party logistics providers run warehouses and transport for others, and connect to their clients' systems and to the port.
Port authorities
A port authority manages the port, often its community system and vessel traffic, and serves the public as well as the trade.
Customs
Customs decisions and declarations flow between authorities, lines, forwarders and terminals; when that data is wrong or late, cargo waits.
Marinas
Marinas and small ports run the same kinds of systems as large ones, with much smaller teams.
Oil and gas
Oil and gas terminals run industrial control systems where an incident can stop supply far beyond the port.

Questions

Who we protect: questions

Yes. Any organization in the port chain can join: terminals, port authorities, marinas, oil and gas ports, shipping lines, hauliers, freight forwarders and the industrial shippers that depend on them. Start with the launch offer.

Because each actor faces different risks and rules, but they all share one logistics chain. A port is only as safe as the weakest link between the ship, the terminal, the gate and the truck.

From public sources only: the IMO guidelines, the NIS2 directive on EUR-Lex, ENISA, CISA, the U.S. Coast Guard rule and press reports of public incidents, each linked on the page.

Yes. What you share with us stays between us, and we never name a member without its written agreement.
