In the last 12 months, there has been a tremendous effort from port and terminal operators to embrace technology. Recent headlines indicate they are stepping up their game to provide the world’s ocean-going fleet with the services and solutions they need to maintain safe, efficient, and sustainable global trade. A new hive of activity to test and bunker future fuels is evident, as is the integration of smart technologies to optimise berthing and other port operations.
To provide insight into the status of the port operations technology market over the last 12 months, and what this might indicate about the future, Thetius has taken a deep dive into some of the recent market movements.
A total of 55 ports, terminals, and hubs involved in buying, supplying, and enabling the development and uptake of alternative power sources within the last 12 months have been captured by Thetius. The report has been split into two parts to explore how and why ports are adopting alternative power sources and digital technologies.
Part 1: Alternative power sources
This part of the report covers bunkering hubs as well as port and terminal equipment
Part 2: Port digitalisation
This part of the report looks at how ports are using digital tools and technologies to improve operational efficiency and enhance competitiveness.
