Maritime Innovation Week 2024 focuses on sustainable innovation 🚢♻️. The announcement of Maritime Innovation Week 2024, with its emphasis on sustainable innovation, could not come at a better time for our industry. As global shipping faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, this event will bring together thought leaders, innovators and industry stakeholders to explore ways to achieve a greener future for maritime logistics. At NextPort®, we are 100 percent aligned with this vision. Our solution equips ports with the tools they need to optimize their operations and minimize resource use and therefore emissions. Being able to provide real-time, data-driven information helps ports and terminals reduce their carbon footprint without compromising the efficiency of their processes. With sustainability and innovation at the heart of everything we do, we are excited to see the conversations and solutions coming out of #MaritimeInnovationWeek2024 and look forward to driving positive change in the maritime sector.   #NextPort #MaritimeInnovation #Sustainability #GreenShipping #PortTechnology For more information, visit: https://lnkd.in/gkkxyFcH

🌍 Today we proudly launched C-PRONE and its website! 🚀 "www.c-prone.eu" is now your gateway to circular procurement🔗 C-PRONE, the Circular Procurement Network, is coordinated by ACR+ | Association of Cities and Regions for sustainable Resource management and Rijkswaterstaat, connecting cities, regions, and initiatives across Europe. As our Secretary General francoise Bonnet highlighted in her opening speech, “C-PRONE will break down barriers to collaboration, giving public buyers a unified platform with direct access to resources, tools, and guidance on circular procurement practices". Joan Prummel (Rijkswaterstaat) then presented the initiative, followed by Paula Trindade (LNEG - Laboratorio de Energia), who offered perspectives as a core member. The launch concluded with Núria Cases i Sampere (ACR+ | Association of Cities and Regions for sustainable Resource management) guiding attendees through the platform. The event also featured an introduction to the Circular Minds Project from Emile Bruls (Rijkswaterstaat).

Sustainable Road Transport Europe 2024 Earlier today, our Head of Environment Julien Le Signor, participated in Reuters Events' Sustainable Road Transport Europe 2024 in Amsterdam. During a keynote panel discussion on Smart Charging Solutions, Julien highlighted our extensive network, which includes nearly 10,000 low-emission vehicles for first and last mile deliveries. He also discussed key challenges such as limited space for on-site charger installations and the power capacity constraints at our hubs and depots. Julien ended on the need for fast, sustainable and reliable infrastructures to optimise electric vehicle charging across our network. #sustainability

Making all modes of transport more sustainable requires the right incentives to drive a smooth and industry-compatible transition, expanding the availability of green alternatives in a multimodal transport system. Through its concrete proposals and constructive approach, #FabbricaEuropa represents #Confindustria’s commitment to a renewed competitiveness of European industry in the next EU legislature, in order to guarantee prosperity, wellbeing and social peace to our Continent.

No break for the committed, they say! That is why tomorrow, our managing director, Sjoerd de Jager, walks the stage of Intermodal Events because when it's about Ports' Progress Towards a More Sustainable Future, he has plenty to say. Join us tomorrow, November 12th, at 14:30 at Rotterdam Ahoy for a panel discussion that brings thought leaders like Sue Terpilowski OBE, Jordi Torrent, Pierre de BELLABRE, Martin Olverson, and Sjoerd de Jager together on stage to address infrastructure modernization, digitalization, environmental sustainability, and regulatory impacts on ports. Here are some of the topics Sjoerd will zoom into: Can green corridors genuinely reduce emissions, or are they more of a branding tool? What role does technology play in reducing Scope 3 emissions, and are there specific strategies you've seen effectively implemented in ports or logistics? How can ports balance environmental goals with economic pressures, especially when considering investments in new technologies and green infrastructure?

Driving a just transition? Marc Billiet, our senior adviser for EU goods transport, spoke about meeting EU #decarbonisation targets at Green Mobility Magazine’s La Soirée event yesterday at the Press Club Brussels Europe. The question on the table: Can the mobility sector deliver a just and affordable green transition, and at what cost? Meeting the EU’s ambitious decarbonisation targets will be expensive, including for commercial road transport – both for transport operators and for public sector investments. We do need a fair and affordable green transition, because commercial road transport underpins inclusive mobility and cost-effective goods transport for everyone. And for this, we need to be technology neutral and use all available innovation. Battery electric and hydrogen technology alone will not get the job done in an affordable and timely way for all Europeans.

We are pleased to announce that we are the first ship supplier in USA that has joined this Government -private partnership program , the US EPA's SmartWay. EPA’s SmartWay program helps companies advance supply chain sustainability by measuring, benchmarking, and improving freight transportation efficiency. 🟢provides a comprehensive and world-recognized system for benchmarking and reporting freight emissions across supply chains 🟢helps companies identify and select more efficient freight carriers, service providers, transport modes, equipment, and operational strategies to improve supply chain sustainability and lower costs from goods movement 🟢strengthens national energy security and mitigates environmental risk for companies 🟢reduces freight transportation-related emissions by accelerating the adoption of advanced fuel-saving technologies 🟢is supported by major transportation industry associations, environmental groups, state and local governments, international agencies, and the corporate community 🫶🏻🌎

🌿 Embracing Standards, Collaboration, and the Drive for Carbon Emission Reduction through Port Call Optimization. Our CEO Mathew Paul is attending the Port Technology International - PTI Green Tech Conference, where we saw innovative speakers like José Andrés Giménez Maldonado from Terminal Industry Committee 4.0 - TIC4.0 and Fundación Valenciaport take center stage. José highlighted the groundbreaking work on the Paula Platform in Valencia Port, enhancing port call transparency and integrating business processes for more efficient operations 🚢. The focus on setting standards in a fragmented industry is crucial. José elaborated on how TIC4.0 collaborates with industry giants and organizations like Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) to pave the way for standardized data usage across the sector. This is a game-changer in how we understand and manage the complexities of port operations. There was also an insightful presentation by Kristina Jumelet from Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA), discussing the Standards for Operational Vessel Schedules and the concept of 'Just in Time Port Calls' ⏱️. This approach not only streamlines operations but also significantly cuts down on unnecessary carbon emissions. Ani Matcharashvili from PortXchange [B-Corp], a spinoff from the Port of Rotterdam, shared their journey on port call optimization. Their platform demonstrates a powerful sequence: Standardize ➡️ Digitalize ➡️ Collaborate ➡️ Optimize. This method is setting new benchmarks in how ports can drastically enhance efficiency and sustainability 🌍. The conference is a melting pot of ideas and a clear indicator that when we unify standards and collaborate effectively, the impact on carbon reduction and port efficiency is profound and far-reaching. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible in maritime logistics! #GreenTech #PortOptimization #Sustainability #MaritimeInnovation #DigitalTransformation
