Way of working lock planning Amsterdam: What do the changes mean for me?

The suggested changes to the work agreements of the DSP impact you in the following ways:

If an ETD has been changed twice in the Port Community System PortBase (PCS) then changing it again will no longer result in an automatic lock reservation in the DSP.
To finalize an outgoing reservation the agent will have to order the ship 6 hours before the berth ETD at the latest. This used to be 4 hours. If the agent fails to meet these requirements the order will be cancelled. Once the agent finalizes their order the ship will be scheduled by the VC.
If the agent changes the berth ETD to more than 24 hours later then a new reservation will be made. This new reservation can also be changed twice.

Agents are advised to provide ETDs for berths as accurately as possible. Regardless if this would trigger a reservation in DSP or not.

The exact changes will be available per june 1st on the DSP website: https://www.portofamsterdam.com/nl/sluisplanning
