  Making Nautical Operations in Ports Cyber-Proof and Risk Resilient

  The blocking of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal has once again illustrated how vulnerable global supply chains are and how one local incident can have a full-scale ‘butterfly effect. Cybercrime brings unexpected dimensions to this vulnerability. In this session, we will discuss a recent maritime cybercase with an unexpected Ocean's Eleven-like plot. We will explore how nautical port services like dredging and towage are cyber-proofing themselves to ensure secure operations and avoid local incidents having potentially worldwide implications.

  Small and Smart: How the World’s Small and Mid-sized Ports can Leverage the Best of New Technology

  The smart port agenda has grown exponentially in recent years. Major hubs such as Singapore, Hamburg, and Los Angeles have embraced the use of digital tools to continuously improve operations and invested heavily in everything from cyber resilience to digital twins. But when it comes to digitalization, the majority of the world’s ports are often overlooked. Small and midsize ports make up the backbone of the global maritime economy. These ports are more focused on enabling flexible, resilient, and specialist supply chains for a variety of cargo types and not ever-increasing container volumes. Though the headlines often focus on technologies for major ports, there is a quiet transformation going on in the world’s small ports.

  In this session, we will bring together a small panel of experts to understand the emerging technology landscape for small and mid-sized ports including:

  1) What new digital solutions are being adopted in the small and mid-sized ports sector and what impact are they having?

  2) How can small and mid-sized ports work together to support innovation and R&D that meets their needs?

  3) How should technology providers approach working with ports that are at different stages on their digitalization journey?

  Changing of the Guard

  With a new US administration, a new EU "Green Deal" and Asia powering ahead post-pandemic with much of the developing world still struggling, a changing of the guard is upon us. With the shipping and ports sector under immense pressure to decarbonize and reduce emisssions, outlier charterers, shipowners and carriers are taking matters into their own hands. The COVID19 pandemic has disrupted the global maritime and logistics supply chain, accelerating the industry's path towards digitalization at a rate never imagined by the industry. Following COVID19 and two financial crises already this century, ports are being forced to look at how to ensure business continuity during future disruptive events. In this session, learn how maritime industry leaders are adapting their organizations to a new and uncertain future.

  Ports as Energy Transition Hubs

  Ports are transforming rapidly, with many transforming into vibrant physical and digital hubs of economic activity. With this change, sustainable energy generation is becoming key, not only for ports themselves but also to close regional circular economic loops. Ports are looking at waste and energy reuse, replacing hydrocarbons with renewable sources to power newly-electrified terminal operations for cargo and passengers. How can public and private sector interests in port communities achieve such a successful energy transition ?

  A New Dawn for Cruise Shipping

  Cruise has probably been shipping's most impacted business since the COVID19 outbreak. Prior to the pandemic, the sector had stellar growth forecasts, a fleet newbuild program of over 60 new vessels between 2020 and 2023 and a widening portoflio of candidate ports gearing up for cruise vessel port calls. Now practically the entire global fleet of cruise vessels is in lay up awaiting the global vaccination of its loyal customer base.

  IAPH Regional: Potential of Terminal and Cargo Data Sharing for East and South Asian Ports

  One of the main reasons why South East Asian ports have been rated highest in their berth productivity can be attributed to their approach towards digitalization and data sharing. In this session, you will hear the case of Busan which has multiple terminal operators all competing with each other and the case of Kobe which works on a national level to facilitate data sharing. You will also hear about the outlier Adani Ports which has emerged as a major regional player in South Asia thanks to its innovative approach to digitaization.

  Artificial Intelligence Enabling Resilient, Efficient and Green Supply Chains

  The first ports are looking at "synchromodal planning" to develop and test Artificial Intelligence-driven logistic software solutions, new transport technologies, and supporting methodologies in order to increase the efficiency of global supply chains and reduce their environmental impact. Get an overview into ePIcenter, an EU-funded global project being undertaken by 36 partners including ports that applies AI and other technologies to ensure supply chains are greener and are capable of adapting to disruptive events.

  What Crisis Next? Lessons Learned from COVID-19

  One year on from the COVID19 global pandemic outbreak, ports around the world have demonstrated their resilience in keeping supply chains operational. This has been the case despite initial labour shortages, disruptive governmenal interventions to limit the spread of the disease and highly unpredictable supply and demand conditions due to panic consumption and multiple lockdowns impacting economic activity. With disruption still the norm, particularly in the container sector with imbalances created and rates at an all time high, ports are reassessing how to cope with crises on a permanent basis. In this insightful session, find out exactly what sort of measures ports should be taking in order to prepare themselves for the next crisis, be it financial, health-related, economic, climate-change related or otherwise.

  This is the Century of Africa. With 1.3 billion people and its rich natural resources, Africa has unlimited growth opportunities. Yet sea-to-land supply chain connectivity, both physically and digitally, still remains problematic in many parts of the continent.

  Applying Port Call Optimisation in Practice

  To improve port call efficiencies, eliminate wasted berth time and to reduce emissions by vessels on approach and alongside seemed a pipe dream only five years ago. Pioneering ports are now bringing together nautical and supply chain players in their communities to share data, vessel approach and berth planning as well as orchestrating finely-tuned task itineraries by vessel service providers and authorities from the moment a vessel moors until she departs. Witness practical examples of how this is put in practice, and the lessons learnt moving forward from some of the most advanced port call optimization solution providers.

  Effective Port Authority Leadership in Times of Crisis

  At the height of the pandemic outbreak in March 2020, the Mayor of Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti decided to appoint the Port's Executive Director as Chief Logistics Officer for the City. Since then the port has had to deal with providing emergency supplies to the State of California and beyond, prioritising cargo, coping with truck and internal haulage shortages, labor shortages and overwhelming increases in import demand resulting in record congestion in and around the city's container terminals. What constitutes effective leadership in time of crisis for ports? In this exclusive interview with Gene Seroka, get a personal view on what it takes to deal with the pressures of being in the hotseat.
