Lars Robert will present in the Session focussed on \u2018Looking to the Future – Improving Efficiencies through Digitalisation and Innovation\u2019. He will discuss how to reap the benefits from just-in-time port calls and thereby lower the general speed in the fleet, and how standardisation of communication between ships and ports is a pre-requisite. BIMCO is engaged with the World Customs Organisation, UNECE and ISO at IMO to develop the necessary elements to enable machine to machine communication in this field. This talk will elaborate on the potential benefits and what needs to be done.<\/p>\n
