Certified Pick up (CPu) is a neutral, central data platform providing the supply chain with a digital, secure and optimized cargo release and pick-up process in the Port of Antwerp. This is achieved by capturing and enriching container information - originating from different parties - on the Certified Pick up platform, in order to generate an encrypted digital key with which the final carrier can retrieve the container.
Using Certified Pick up, we can assure the right container is assigned to the right carrier. An audit trail is provided to make the entire process also auditable for the competent authorities.

Secured transfer of the right to collect a container via the NxtPort data platform
Certified Pick up simplifies and standardise the administrative processes to release containers
By digitally linking all involved parties, releasing containers is easy and transparent
BCO/Forwarders and transport companies can implement the Certified Pick up process into their organisation in two different ways:
Access to the Certified Pick up solution is initiated via C-point, the Port of Antwerp Port community system.
All parties involved in the release chain need to be registered by the 1st of June 2021.
The right to release a container from the terminal is given by the agent to a BCO or forwarder. They can transfer the right to a transport operator. In case of carrier haulage, the agent can also transer the release right directly to the transport operator.
When the container is assigned to the driver by owner of the Release Right, that driver can pick up the container with his/her Alfapass after a biometric authentication at the terminal and without the use of a pincode
Load lists (e.g. COPINO msgs) can be sent to the terminal without PIN codes; the Terminal will check at CPu if the requesting company is authorised to do the pick up.

While all parties involved in the container import flow will be prompted to give release information, only two parties are considered to be “data providers”. These entities, being Ship Agents and Terminals, need to give their approval before a container can be picked up.
Access to the Certified Pick up solution is initiated via C-point, the Port of Antwerp Port community system.
The Terminal release is an asynchronous step and can take place at any time, even before the commercial release (even though this is highly unlikely).
