Development of new port infrastructure in times of crises demands a smart approach: to come up with cost effective, sustainable and safe designs, to operate the port efficiently and to make port operations more environmental friendly. Marin organises a Smart Ports Seminar to look into these issues.
The increasing volume of transport flows between continents, combined with all kinds of offshore activities, is resulting in increasing shipping intensity in coastal waters and ports. In some sectors, this increase in volume is accompanied with the development of extremely large ships. Furthermore, there is pressure from society to make the shipping industry "greener". And all this in a time of crisis. To be able to share views and look at future developments, Marin organises the Smart Ports Seminar on April 23 2013 in Wageningen.
