There is no denying that automation and digitalisation will change port operations and require new skills. German seaports have responded with the “PortSkill 4.0” project and are in the process of setting up a digital test and training centre (DTTC), where the necessary skills can be taught with a focus on practical application.

Longer transport routes are divided into legs on which regional transport companies operate and work together in a network with relay transports. Semi-trailers are handed over to the next driver at the relay locations. This is intended to solve numerous issues at once.
