On Maasvlakte 2, the ultramodern and advanced container terminal of Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) provides 24/7 secure, reliable, sustainable and efficient container handling in Rotterdam, Europe's most important transit port. The company is a leader in innovation, safety and sustainability.
Solution: CargoCard / Digital Safety Passport / PortKey / Camco Interface
RWG uses the CargoCard from Secure Logistics to guarantee security, to be able to switch efficiently and to remain competitive at a global level,' says Richard Pronk, security manager at RWG.
Significant time savings
Pronk: 'About 2,000 drivers visit the terminal every day. The use of the CargoCard, including biometric verification, means that drivers can continue their journey immediately, and the number of checks has been significantly reduced. The checks that are carried out are much faster. A number of improvements have taken place in the six years since the terminal opened. Now, some 98 percent of drivers can pass through the gate without any problems.
Our terminal offers "Seamless access to Europe" and Secure Logistics' solution certainly contributes to this. It is an efficient and also safe system in all respects,' says Pronk. Contractors, rowers and other visitors use Portkeys and the Digital Safety Passport to gain access to the terminal. Biometric verification is also used here to ensure fast and secure access.
The collaboration with Secure Logistics
Pronk gives the collaboration with Secure Logistics an ample score. He sees room for improvement in the use of the Portkey and the Digital Safety Passport. While it all runs smoothly for the drivers, it does not always run smoothly for the other users. Pronk is a great supporter of both XS-key and XS-ID. Secure Logistics contributes to the safety of the port area and that is important, concludes Pronk.
