Cargill wins Port Community Award

The agro-industrial concern Cargill has won the 5th Port Community Award.

The agro-industrial concern with branches in Amsterdam and Rotterdam also won a prize in the category shipping companies/ship’s agents/agents during the festive awards ceremony. Other prize winners were Ritra Cargo Holland (category freight forwarders/exporters/importers), APM Terminals Maasvlakte ll and RWG (category terminals/hinterland terminals) and Frankenbach from Germany (category hinterland carriers).

The Port Community Award rewards the company that distinguishes itself most in its exchange of information via the Port Community System of the Dutch ports. This exchange of information is becoming increasingly important for the ports and the port business community. It is the ideal way to further streamline supply chains and thus establish a lead over the international competition.

The Port Community Award is an initiative of Portbase, the organisation behind the Port Community System. Over 3600 companies have already become affiliated, including about 1000 from neighbouring countries. On an annual basis, they exchange more than 65 million electronic messages with each other and with the (port) authorities.
