Portplus NV is an independent maritime information and service provider based in Antwerp, Belgium. The Belgian company gathers and transforms data into useful information that is valuable to increase logistical efficiency in the maritime supply chain for all actors involved. The private company has access to a whole range of data due to their neutral position in the various port communities and their close relationship with the main port and federal authorities. Portplus offers vessel tracking, personalized platforms, services, and solutions. The company also has a collaborative data sharing platform called qronoport that makes port calls more efficient by combining data from various sources, processing and visualizing that data, and sharing the data with other involved stakeholders. The company was founded in 1905. Lebrun Benoît has been the CEO of the company since 2013.
