Security at your fingertips in Antwerp

[ March 27, 2023   //   ]

DP World Antwerp Gateway has introduced fingerprint scanning technology to help improve security for container collection.

In collaboration with NxtPort, the digital platform of Port of Antwerp-Bruges, DP World has successfully tested the Certified Pick up (CPu) software with Belgium logistics companies Katoen Natie and Van Moer It will now implement the technology across its Antwerp Gateway terminal.

CPu pre-registers and vets truck drivers through NxtPort and allows them to collect containers at the DP World terminal by matching the driver’s fingerprints to their specific container, via the container’s Alfapass.

Traditionally, containers at a terminal are accessed by inputting a pin code, which risks multi-party handling and exposing containers to misuse.
