As from 8 September, ECT will switch to facial recognition as the new biometric verification method for truck drivers. The current devices that utilize finger vein technology will be gradually replaced with modern devices based on Facial Recognition on Chip (FROC) technology.

To improve safety and traffic flows to the ECT Delta terminal, infrastructure changes are being made. These adjustments aim to separate container traffic from other traffic earlier, ensuring smoother traffic handling and reducing congestion.

The change involves 100% registration and verification of PortKey users—both drivers and passengers—and the introduction of facial recognition.

ECT intends to limit the period of validity of a pre-announced truck visit (Remote Check-In, also known as RCI). This change applies to both ECT Delta terminal and ECT Euromax terminal.

Following the announcement that, starting from February 3 2025, all barge visits to the ECT Delta terminal and the ECT Euromax terminal would be planned via Nextlogic, there have been discussions among the parties involved with Nextlogic.

From November 21, truck drivers who are already at the ECT Delta terminal can cancel their visit via the ECT app. There is no need anymore to go to building 5.
