DISCOVER THE AGENDA
Discover the session – Port Infrastructure & Interoperability
As ports & terminals become more integrated into the supply chain, their role in maritime trade is evolving, from vessel parking areas to logistics facilitators. Alongside this change also comes the adaptation of their infrastructure facilities and connections.
The modernization of port & terminal infrastructure, including its connectivity to the hinterland, is pivotal to improve interoperability and the integration of inland waterways into a global trade network. Additionally, other trends driving this process include the need for maritime infrastructure to be smart, digitally connected to the supply chain network, as well as energy efficient to guarantee the reduction of carbon emissions and the sustainable development of their surrounding communities.
While these trends pose substantial challenges for the industry, there are significant infrastructure projects taking place both in and outside of Europe that should boost infrastructure evolution and bring maritime trade to the next level. Furthermore, with trade routes constantly changing, investing in infrastructure presents an opportunity to develop new trade routes and increase ports’ competitiveness, at regional and even global scale.
