Journey to the port of tomorrow
01.12.2023
BREMERHAVEN. In late September, 75 representatives of the port industry met jup for the 3rd Smart Port Workshop in Bremerhaven. “Port digitalisation will only work if the processes are coordinated. It’s absolutely essential that the public sector and business work hand in hand and develop solutions, together,” explained Kristina Vogt, Bremen’s Senator for Economic Affairs, Ports and Transformation, during her welcome speech. On multiple occasions, the workshop demonstrated that the “smart port” evolved beyond the status of a mere idea long ago. Daniel Becker, Head of the IT Department at bremenports and responsible for the smart port project, presented the plans for “Digital Weser”. PRINOS, the new port railway information and operating system PRINOS has already gone live. Becker was pleased with the workshop results. “Together we were able to identify many processes we’ll need to consider as we continue to plan the smart port – especially the issue of cybersecurity and data exchange between companies and the public sector.” With so much interest and active participation, he pronounced the workshop a success.
