1. With new-advanced carbon-free propulsion systems proliferation, harbours will be at the cornerstone of global logistics, with increasing demanding standards pending on them. And scouting-pioneering the leading-edge cyber-sustainable harbour of the future are the Baltic and the North Sea countries, involving in practical R+D projects their main Ports, Shipping companies, Terminal operators, and Engineering Universities.
As the objectives for these advanced Facilities:
“A flexible-predictive and cost-efficient harbour and their clusters, with self-sufficient zero emissions energy generation”.
What means:
as a value strategy for the times coming western traffic grow.
