If your question is not listed, you can call or email the Customer Service Desk. The contact details are on the bottom of the page.
Information related to container releases can be requested from the shipping line in question.
This information is only issued by the shipping line in question.
You can request your container status via our new online platform MyTerminal. If you do not have access to MyTerminal yet, you can create an account here.
It is possible to collect empty containers with only a release number. There is no need for you to submit a pre-notification and you will be assisted at the service counter of the terminal in question. For special containers (such as tanks, flats etc.) you do always need a container number.
Information about export bookings can be requested on our new online platform MyTerminal. If you do not have access to MyTerminal yet, you can create an account here. Other information/changes related to export bookings can be requested from the shipping line.
Please contact Customs with any questions you may have regarding the customs scan.
You cannot pre-notify more than 3 flat containers per visit. A pre-notification involving more than 3 containers will be handled via the manned service desk.
Flats can only be self-handled if they have loose positions on the chassis. If the flats are bundled / are in the same position, the driver will have to report to the counter.
The flats must all be pre-notified.
Please contact the Service Desk of Portbase with these kinds of questions.
The pre-notification will change the container to the right category; no action is required on your part.
Accounts are handled through the Portbase website.
You can find this information via the website MyServices of ECT under Reference Code Lists - Sizetypes.
Please contact the Customer Service Desk.

You can deliver your containers during the following time window:
- From 8 days prior to the ship’s arrival.
- Up to 24 hours prior to the ship’s arrival.
IMO stickers must be visible at all times (on all 4 sides of the container). As a stop-gap solution, IMO stickers can be purchased at security (5 euros per sticker and only payable by debit card).
You can request a Cargo Card via Secure Logistics.
This is not possible; no exceptions are made in this respect.
You can do this via the Secure Logistics website.
After activation, the driver must go to building 5 of the ECT Delta terminal and have the card activated there for both the ECT Delta and the ECT Euromax.
NB. There is no possibility to activate cards at the ECT Euromax terminal.
NB. Cards for Hutchison Ports Delta 2 (former APM Terminal) cannot be activated with us.
Upon arrival at the terminal, the driver must indicate that he or she has an ROT (Remain On Truck) container. A pre-notification is not mandatory for such containers (it is for RCI/ Remote Check-in though).
ECT will communicate this via a general service message (link). These messages are available on the website, the MyTerminal platform and the ECT app.
You can download the app in the App store. Available for IOS and Android.
