Get the figures right!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking exclusively to <em>Port Strategy<\/em> at TOC Europe, Stephan Piworus said having a department or person dedicated to this task is important, while statistics help provide a clearer idea of what to focus on and what can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;The first thing is to have some reliable figures, numbers, that&#8217;s always the start. In some terminals they didn&#8217;t even know about the energy consumption when first looking at energy saving. You have maybe a gut feeling which is completely wrong and then you see what the costs and drivers are and realise it&#8217;s a bit different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Huge developments <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see huge developments compared to 10-12 years ago,\u201d said Mr Piworus, stating that a lot of terminals realise it is beneficial to do something to protect the environment because it also saves costs. However, there is always more that can be done, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Attracting more talent into the industry will help with technology development and greening ports but there is a lot of competition with other industries and \u201cquite often you have negative views.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People may have a perception that shipping is not doing very well and job security isn\u2019t good, he said. \u201cSo, it&#8217;s about having a more positive message. It&#8217;s not only about the salaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maritime is still an attractive industry with good technology development said Mr Piworus, but the main problem is that it is still old fashioned. \u201cI think we have a lot of homework here to do,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having access to reliable energy consumption figures is important in beginning to tackle or improve energy saving at a terminal, the global vice president of sales, ports &amp; terminals at Identec Solutions has said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terminal-operations"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
