This session focused on a port call optimisation trial at the Port of Gothenburg (PoG).
Fredrik Rauer, Port Control Manager at PoG, presented the port's Digital Port Call initiative, covering how port call processes have changed since implementation, an overview of the platform, the collaborative approach taken with port stakeholders, and lessons learned for future PCO initiatives. A structured discussion followed, covering:
What approaches are best to support stakeholder engagement in the planning and implementation port call optimisation initiatives?
How would the approach look like to implement similar systems in different ports? Particularly considering larger ports with more stakeholders to engage with, different geographies and local powers.
What should be the measures of success for such a scheme?
