Nick Labrosse, Sales and Marketing Director for Docking & Mooring, says: “Today’s ports are faced with how to future-proof their infrastructure to handle even bigger vessels, overcome greater environmental challenges and offer enhanced product handling capability. But, with an existing infrastructure that cannot – in the short and medium-term – transform quickly enough, many are struggling to keep up with this pace of change.

“Trelleborg’s new expert opinion piece highlights the impact this is having on day-to-day activities, as well as the measures being taken to mitigate the impact. This includes technology, which is now a key factor in enabling ports to operate as efficiently as possible and facilitates their progression to the next level of performance. What’s more, as automation extends into different aspects of the port environment, the industry is becoming more receptive to open technologies that can work together to optimize operations in today’s changing landscape. Using data-enabled docking and mooring equipment gives port operators and owners with a thorough understanding of performance and operational optimization opportunities to enable safer, more efficient, and sustainable cargo transfer.”
