PortBIS Update No 3

PortBIS has been further enhanced to support provision of actual arrival and departure information direct from Sydney Ports Corporation. This arrival and departure information is the latest and most up to date for the Port of Sydney. The Sydney Ports Corporation and Tradegate have an agreement to share data which is supplied for the wider community benefit. Tradegate would like to thank Sydney Ports Corporation for its co-operation in the supply of this service.

In addition to the arrival and departure information, PortBIS also supports empty container return information for 10 shipping companies and 22 container parks across Australia. This underlines one of the key objectives of PortBIS – the provision of a national port community information system. Registered Smartimports users can login to their account at www.tradegate.org.au and explore these new features.

If you have forgotten your username and login details, contact support@tradegate.org.au or call our Support Help Desk 1300 552 393 for further assistance.

If you would like to receive arrival/departure information in electronic format, or receive empty container return information direct into your software application contact our Support Centre for details.

PortBIS information is available free of charge for the pilot period and will remain free post the pilot period for those importers / forwarders and organisations registered to receive their eIDO’s through Tradegate.
