5g partnership for the Port of Santos

GreenPort Congress	World Ports Conference	Coastlink Conference

GreenPort Congress is a meeting place for the port community to discuss and learn the latest in sustainable environmental practice. It offers ways to reduce their carbon foot print and be more sensitive to environmental considerations, both of which are vital to future success.	The annual World Ports Conference brings together global port leaders and key stakeholders from the shipping sectors to explore the opportunities and challenges facing the maritime industry. This year’s #IAPH2026 will be held in London, UK, offering a programme of plenary, breakout and workshop sessions and a gala dinner celebrating the IAPH Sustainability Awards.	Coastlink is a neutral pan-European network dedicated to the promotion of short sea and feeder shipping, and the intermodal transport networks through the ports that support the sector. It is a place for industry professionals to meet and discuss future innovation, economic and environmental considerations – and develop partnerships that will help build a sustainable future.

The first 5G private port network in Latin America is being implemented.

Brasil Terminal Portuário (BTP), Port of Santos, plans to tap the inherent advantages of 5G

A partnership involving Santos terminal operator Brasil Terminal Portuário (BTP) and telecommunications providers TIM and Nokia aims to take advantage of the release of increasing bandwidth for the City of Santos, as scheduled by national regulator, Anatel, during 2023.

BTP states that one of its main objectives of utilising the network access is to enable the implementation of various solutions that can increase equipment connectivity, while also boosting operational efficiency. This includes the remote and real-time monitoring of equipment, such as cranes and all other operational activities at the time, with monitoring maintained from a dedicated central location.

Improved communication between terminal departments and personnel is also a primary objective.

Ricardo Arten, CEO, BTP, states: “We want to increase our operational capacity within the current limits of the terminal and technology is key in this process. We believe technology has the power to make the port sector more efficient, safe, and sustainable. We are continually investing in the development of new digital tools and technologies.”
