The funding will support SEAS (Smart Efficient Automated Scheduling), a project designed to revolutionise port scheduling, enhance efficiency and advance decarbonisation efforts at HHA\u2019s facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is great news, and we\u2019re confident the outcomes from the feasibility study will bring significant benefits to our customers,\u201d said Sarah West, CEO of Harwich Haven Authority.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking with PurpleSector on the SEAS project allows us to integrate smart technology that enhances our capabilities while advancing our decarbonisation goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Motorsport derived<\/strong><\/p>\n The SEAS initiative leverages motorsport-derived technologies to improve port scheduling systems, reducing carbon emissions and cutting operational costs.<\/p>\n HHA and PurpleSector aim to use this innovative scheduling technology to streamline HHA\u2019s port activities, ensuring faster, more efficient handling and movement of vessels, ultimately boosting overall port efficiency.<\/p>\n PurpleSector\u2019s CEO, Mark Mathieson MBE, shared similar enthusiasm for the project, emphasising the potential impact of their technology on reducing carbon emissions in port operations.<\/p>\n \u201cOur innovative techniques have the potential to revolutionize carbon reduction in port operations and we are thrilled to work with such a forward-thinking partner as Harwich Haven Authority,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The SEAS feasibility study is set to run from November 2024 to March 2025 and will focus initially on optimizing HHA\u2019s Pilot Launch vessel operations.<\/p>\n Should the trial prove successful, the project may advance to a full proof of concept, supporting the broader adoption of smart, efficient scheduling across port operations in the UK.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Harwich Haven Authority\u00a0(HHA) and its partner, PurpleSector, have secured a GB\u00a3177,000 grant from the UK Department for Transport\u2019s Smart Shipping Acceleration Fund (SSAF).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4786,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,8],"tags":[117,37,1382,982,1173,1840],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-automation","tag-decarbonisation","tag-digitisation","tag-harwich-haven-authority","tag-port-efficiency","tag-uk-department-of-transport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4785"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4787,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4785\/revisions\/4787"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4785"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
