About this event

The latest innovations in ports are aggressively taking over the day to day running of the industry. It’s seemingly becoming an inevitability for the efficient functioning of the sector. Many innovations include unmanned trucks, which efficiently collaborate with each other using cloud-based centralized dispatching, and are directed to automatic locking and unlocking stations. This is one of many innovations that are up and coming. What is most important is providing the right technologies for the right scenarios with openness, cooperation, and mutual benefits in mind.

The Global Smart Ports Summit aims to bring the traditional ports and maritime sector towards the digital future by embracing, adopting and deploying already matured as well as new, developing technologies with human capital and corporate identity.

It will provide a platform for senior industry representatives, allowing participants to get a deep understanding of the upcoming technology transformations, critical infrastructure security goals, automation and autonomous trends, most recent global activities and trade dynamics and their impact on daily operations, and the industry as a whole. By an in-depth analysis of the maritime regulations and upcoming cybersecurity directives as well as the technologies already matured and those still in progress, the conference will bring the industry learnings into the 21st century.

I think, it’s good whether you’re new to the industry and trying to learn the basics of LNG, it’s a good opportunity to get out and hear what’s happening and general trends in the industry, but also for seasoned professionals to hear about new technologies that can help drive their projects forward and reduce cost
