PACT is a new service for outgoing sea vessels at terminals and agents in the Amsterdam port. By cleverly sharing data with each other, together we make the port more predictable and aim to reduce delays and overordering. 

How PACT works
Participants provide an update earlier in the ordering process when they have started the last step of their operational process. This is the so-called ETCF90 (Estimated Time Cargo Finished 90%). The agent receives a notification of this and he waits to place an order until he receives this notification. By order, we mean ordering pilots and tugs and reserving the lock.

Implementation
From 14 April 2023, the actual implementation will start in phases at terminals and agents. Around the summer, there will be feedback to stakeholders on the progress of implementation and the first user results.
