Based on the user's permissions, you will have access to three applications:
TOOL is the gateway for port users to apply for their work and nautical authorisations.
Work authorisations
A work permit is an essential safety document that commits you to work according to applicable regulations. It also functions as an attendance record, allowing us to track where and how many employees are working at any given time.
With TOOL, you are required to submit a pre-notification for any work you plan to carry out on a bridge or lock complex within the port area. This pre-registration is based on a work permit you received from your contact at the Antwerp-Bruges Port Authority. As such, we collaborate to create a safe and efficient work environment.
Nautical authorisations
For any work with nautical impact on infrastructure and vessels in the port, authorisation must be requested through TOOL. In this application, you can not only make requests, but also view and manage them afterwards.
The Harbour Master's Office grants this permit based on the Port Police Regulations. This ensures the safe performance of works, smooth and secure shipping traffic, and minimises environmental risks.
Route permits
A route permit is an authorisation to drive port vehicles on public roads within the port area. It is mandatory to apply for a permit, as outlined in the Port Traffic Regulation.
