HPC Hamburg Port Consulting (HPC) will develop a digital offensive for the port which focuses on effective cooperation with customers and partners and the development of a sustainable digital port infrastructure.
“By providing digital port infrastructures, we want to shape our role as a service provider for the entire port community in a future-oriented way,” said Martin Nusser, deputy director of Port of Switzerland.
“Through the intensive use of new technologies with all our customers and partners, we are striving for sustainably efficient, quality- and service-oriented cooperation.”
Inland first
The Port of Switzerland has already introduced its RheinPorts Information System (RPIS), the first port community system for inland ports worldwide, in which HPC also played a supporting role, laying a decisive foundation for its digital port infrastructure.
The further development of the trimodal transport hub with ship, rail and truck is one of the port’s central tasks with a focus on close cooperation with the Upper Rhine Ports in France and Germany.
HPC has been commissioned to focus on the data flows of goods, processes and modes of transport, the automation of port equipment and digital access to products and services, involving all stakeholders.
Port of Switzerland is an important traffic hub on the freight corridor between the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea with an annual turnover of approximately 6 million tonnes of goods.
