Alongside these challenges there is also the issue of standardization. Harmonized standards are necessary to benchmark and future-proof not just present or future initiatives aiming to facilitate energy transition or digitalisation, but also any potential investments for ports and terminals in terms of operational equipment, automation solutions or infrastructure.
- From digitalisation to decarbonisation, what are the main barriers that continue slow down these transformation initiatives across the industry?
- Benchmarking efficiency and future-proofing investments
- Can the maritime value chain vertically articulate its endeavours?
Rethink, reshape, reduce
The industry may be looking at different ways to adapt, modernize or decarbonise, but without rethinking their business models within the context of harmonized standards that enable benchmarking and investment futureproofing, reshaping the trade lanes when necessary and developing a maritime trade network that is ready to react accordingly, and reducing emissions in a holistic manner that brings together all stakeholders within energy value chains, navigating through these tumultuous waters will remain a difficult task.
- Rethinking business models and investments for ports and terminals
- Reshaping shipping corridors amidst ongoing volatility
- Reducing carbon emissions to enhance value and sustainability
2024 will include three in-person events, TOC Europe (Rotterdam, 11-13 June), TOC Americas (Panama City, 1-3 October) and TOC Asia (26-27 November, Singapore), where industry stakeholders will gather to learn about these matters, exchange opinions on what can be done, and pave the way for the future of maritime & logistics.
Come and be part of the conversation.
