HHLA Passify truck app is up and running
Hamburg port operator, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has commenced its transition away from conventional trucker cards to full time use of a digital application.
Developed through the company’s HHLA Next innovation unit, HHLA has introduced its Passify app at Container Terminal Tollerort.
The Passify app means truck drivers undertake identification by authenticating themselves through the new app instead of using physical plastic cards.
HHLA says the new process brings a significant advantages in terms of security and data protection, but also meets all necessary criteria to be ISPS approved.
“We have already been running the first successful tests with Passify at our terminals in Hamburg since summer 2023. The first trucking companies have already been able to test the application and provide their feedback. The switch to Passify that has begun at CTT will significantly increase security at our facilities in Hamburg,” explains Maren Baumgarten, who is responsible for the project at HHLA.
The Passify app is expected to be implemented at HHLA’s other container terminals, Altenwerder and Burchardkai, as 2024 progresses.
