Innovation is a key theme discussed online between the IAPH membership using the Harbor Café format. The publication of the IAPH Innovation paper coincided with the latest IAPH Harbor Café, which took place 11 October as a joint organisation between the IAPH Africa and Europe regions. This edition included conversations with Belfast Harbour on their 5G network implementation, DB Schenker on using heavy-duty drones for logistics, Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority on the introduction of unmanned systems technology and Blue Atlas Robotics on digital twins for underwater assets. The session included informal interviews of those IAPH port colleagues involved, providing original insights and reality checks regarding risk levels, security issues and return on investment. If you missed the Harbor Café broadcast or want to revisit it, you can view the recording in the video below.
