Single port management system for Rotterdam and Amsterdam ports

On 29 August, the harbour masters of the Ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam began using a single port management system for the administration, guidance and inspection of ships calling into their ports.

 According to the Port of Amsterdam the new system, HaMIS (short for ‘Harbour Master Management Information System’), will raise the quality and functionality of port management and shipping information to a higher level, while reducing costs at the same time.

According to the Port of Amsterdam press release "the partnership between the two global ports will help promote safe and efficient shipping. The growth of the Rotterdam and Amsterdam ports has created a need for higher-quality information exchange, and the new HaMIS system will standardise processes in the two ports. It will also become significantly easier for them than before to exchange information, thereby reducing administrative expenses and preventing double checks – all resulting in a more customer-friendly system."

Port of Amsterdam Harbour Master Janine van Oosten: "HaMIS fulfils an important need, namely for our combined ports to share information with each other about ships calling into the port and provide a more user-friendly system for all users. HaMIS epitomises the excellent cooperation between the Rotterdam and Amsterdam harbour masters and their respective divisions."

René de Vries, Harbour Master of the Port of Rotterdam: "I am very pleased that the two largest ports in the Netherlands are now using the same communication system. It shows that our operational processes are increasingly being standardised, from which both our ports stand to benefit."

Developed by the Port of Rotterdam, HaMIS has replaced the previous system used by the Port of Amsterdam, Pontis. One significant improvement brought by HaMIS is its interactive port map, which allows users to live-track all shipping activities in the port. By simply clicking on a vessel, the Harbour Master and Harbour Master’s Division can access all the available information linked to the vessel and its call in the port.

Port of Amsterdam is Western Europe’s fourth largest port and plays a large role in the transhipment and processing of energy products.
