USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Ports Switch Focus to Smart, Smarter, Smartest
We can already witness an increased use of technology today from terminals automation happening across the globe, to IOT pilots, 5G networks, smart port mindset and platforms, track-and-race software etc.
The shift towards more automated and digital processes and innovative technologies throughout the entire supply chain is inevitable survival mode for ports who desire to maintain their market lead or smaller ports who wish to grow and strengthen their competitive advantage.
Data analytics and data exchange are becoming a new competitive advantage for port players: Capacity sensing, route optimization, energy management, fault detection & resolution can be done much more (cost) efficiently. Advanced data analytics allows for streamlining and optimization of existing infrastructure usage and operations by eliminating unnecessary/empty transport.
The technological trend will deepen by 2030, resulting in increased risks of cyber security , need for technological knowledge and rise in tech investments
FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY
Ports Shift to Green, Greener, Greenest
Due to the increased regulation – moral social license to operate and societal demand, it is expected that sustainability will become a more important competing value proposition.
Carriers seeking to service the world’s largest companies will need to adapt to the increased demands for sustainability. In addition, environmentally motivated regulations are likely to become the most important cost-driver in the coming years.
Sustainability performance will therefore become one of the differentiating and value-adding factors in the Western maritime industry. It is expected that Europe will take a leading role in this transition, followed by the US.
For port infrastructure and service providers, greater sustainability comes down to improved economic efficiency, resilience, and environmental and social sustainability.
FOCUS ON SPATIAL STRATEGY
Ports Strive for Areal Synergy
Growing complexity of port operations leads to a diversification and intensification of land use, for which new synergies between port and city must be found.
The shortage of space in the existing urban ports demands to increase the space productivity within a port. Technological developments will increasingly be used to tackle the challenges of space scarcity.
The space scarcity at times requires ports to move their activities from their historical center location towards locations further outside the city. In addition, due to technological developments (containerization) certain traditional, smaller terminals often located near or even in the city center have lost their value as a traditional port terminal. Both developments result in an opportunity to develop the land with historically maritime land use to a more mixed type of land use.
It is expected that waterfront redevelopment will increasingly be used to create ecosystems that combine social and economic aspects, which will create regional added value and employment, benefiting both city and port.
FOCUS ON COLLABORATIONS
Horizontal and Vertical
Driven by regulations, pressure on margins, and technological developments, both ports and carriers are expected to increase collaboration, resulting in a more transparent ecosystem.
Carriers have showed to be increasingly willing to collaborate, both horizontally and vertically.
Horizontal collaboration is done through alliances, but also increasingly through digital ecosystems. The Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) is a confirmation that the sector is willing and sees the need to collaborate.
Vertical collaboration by carriers is mainly done with terminal operators in the form of designated terminals.
Port authorities show increased interest in horizontal collaboration, ranging from ad-hoc joint projects to mergers.
A clear example of vertical collaboration within ports can be seen from the recent rise of Port Community Systems. These neutral and open digital platforms allow to optimize, manage, and automate seaport processes through single submissions of data, enabling intelligent and secure information exchange between all the stakeholders.
Our ecosystem is comprised of three stakeholder communities: entrepreneurs, corporations, and investors.
Through tight cooperation with all three, we connect leading global enterprises and creative startups, introducing digital innovation aimed at making the world cleaner, safer, and more efficient.
Investors benefit from the performance of a diverse portfolio of startups seeking to change the maritime and supply chain universe.
