Smart IT under chainPORT analysis
Port representatives have committed to a strong working programme for 2017, following a recent chainPORT meeting.
The working groups will focus on a range of subjects including smart IT solutions, the implications and solutions for ultra large container vessels and shaping digital change in port authorities.
Planning is at an advanced stage for the development of a chainPORT Academy, this academy aims to offer employees of participating ports access to continuing professional education and gives them access to a multidisciplinary network of professionals from chainPORT’s.
chainPORT partners are also actively developing chainLOG, an online portal which catalogues in a searchable database details of logistics service providers in each individual port community. The resource enables ports and companies to promote and interconnect their business with customers and service providers from the international maritime environment.

The next meeting will take place at The International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) worldwide conference in Indonesia in May. Followed by Port of Los Angeles hosting the Annual Meeting of chainPORT in November.
