Welcome to Portbase

Welcome to Europe’s biggest port community! You can now start using the Port Community System (PCS) and the service(s) you have purchased.

All Portbase services enable message exchange between one or more parties. The PCS makes sure these processes run in accordance with the established rules and connects the parties with one another.

In this support environment, you will find instructional videos, quick start guides, frequently asked questions and more for each service.
