New standard for smart ports
Puertos del Estado and the Spanish Association for Standardization (UNE) have presented the new UNE 178110 Standard, which establishes the requirements for a port to be considered a Smart Port and provides recommendations for achieving this goal.
This new UNE Standard is designed to facilitate the transformation and evolution of ports into Smart Ports, and enable them to enhance their management and efficiency. Moreover, it will help contribute to the creation of new value-added services between port authorities and companies within the logistics and port community.
Álvaro Rodríguez Dapena, President, Puertos del Estado, underlines: “It boosts the goal outlined in the Strategic Framework to achieve intelligent and synchromodal ports, reinforcing the competitiveness of the state-owned port system.”
Puertos del Estado is collaborating with the National Accreditation Entity (ENAC) to establish a certification scheme that will enable independent third-party certification of compliance with the standard.
