WHAT OUR
PARTNERS SAY

“Changes in the dynamics of our markets means that we need to continuously develop new business models and increase the performance of our current businesses. Having a window on new technologies and inspiring our employees to adopt these technologies, is what PortXL brings to our business.”

Paul Verheul, Executive Director, Van Oord & MerweOord

“The challenging times in all port related markets, like logistics, oil and gas, and maritime, require that we have a window on new technologies. PortXL helped us identify these trends, bringing new business models to our markets and challenging conventional businesses.”

Paul Smits, ex-CFO, Port of Rotterdam
