For over 15 years, Nobel’s quay has been ISPS-certified. However, strict safety regulations often result in administrative burdens, delays, and high costs. Nobel therefore asked itself: how can we make ISPS simpler and faster, without compromising on safety, accessibility, or hospitality?
Where others saw ISPS as a burden, Nobel saw an opportunity.
The answer came through a partnership with Ship2Port (Royal Dirkzwager). Together, we developed Europe’s first autonomous ISPS access system. Through an app, visitors, suppliers, and crew can easily request access to one of the three ISPS quays. Once approved, they receive a digital boarding pass with a QR code. An additional Face ID check of just 3 seconds securely links access to the verified ID. No more paper forms, phone calls, or manual registrations – everything runs via one clear app.
The quays are individually secured and close automatically as soon as an ISPS vessel approaches, while Nobel’s shop, warehouse, and office remain freely accessible. This way, safety is combined with hospitality. The system also provides real-time insight into vessel arrivals and presence, ensuring smoother planning and minimizing overlap with inland shipping.
With this premiere, Nobel transforms a costly obligation into an innovative, user-friendly, and safe process. A practical solution that embodies Nobel’s vision: safety, simplicity, and innovation – the best course towards the future.
