IAPH and chainPORT partner on digital infrastructure
IAPH is partnering with chainPORT, a multilateral partnership of the world’s leading ‘smart ports,’ on a project to develop a common understanding of the critical components of digital port infrastructure to harmonise data throughout the maritime supply chain.
The project, which intends to ensure high data quality, standardisation, and smooth information flow through real-time communication channels, will be achieved by building on existing results in the harmonisation and standardisation of participating parties. This will help deliver standard processes and terminology associated with time stamps in the port call process to be brought together.
Specifically, the initiative is to prioritise meeting the evolving needs of Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCOs), who, in the post-pandemic era, continue to seek heightened control and visibility across supply chains.
chainPORT was initiated in 2016 by the port authorities of Hamburg and Los Angeles in collaboration with the Global Institute of Logistics. The initiative is supported by the ports of Antwerp-Bruges, Barcelona, Busan, Felixstowe, Gothenburg, Indonesia, Montreal, Panama, Rotterdam, Singapore, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Tanger Med.
