Hercules
Summary: The objective is to develop a specific operations management ICT tool for the Strait of Gibraltar Crossing Operation (OPE, in Spanish). This ICT platform/tool allows monitoring in real time the utilization rate of the temporary storage areas (parking) and managing port mobility more efficiently, taking care of any incident and guaranteeing maximum quality of […]
OptiPORT
Summary: The objective of the OptiPort project is to develop a simulation and optimization tool for seaside port operations based on probabilistic techniques to support decision-making processes at strategic level (long term). This tool is very useful for port planning since it allows knowing the impact of certain decisions and evaluating the efficiency and quality […]
PMS
Summary: The project aims to develop the Algeciras Port Management System (PMS). As a first stage, the development is focused on seaside port operations. It should be said that a PMS is a broad concept, based on the integration of systems, which works as a unique interface platform and which allows coordinating/ monitoring port activities […]
SafePORT
Summary: The objective of the “Algeciras SafePort” project is to improve the management of ocean-meteorological risks in port environments so that the port players can operate and develop its activity in a more secure, efficient and sustainable manner. With this objective, the project has allowed to approximate the physical environment (climate) to the areas where […]
SG3iEV
Summary: The objective of the SG3iEV project is to develop a management system that allows the integration of all safety and security port systems existing in the APBA digital ecosystem. The purpose behind this project is to standardize and semi-automate the most common control and monitoring processes to respond quickly to possible incidents that may […]
High-resolution hidrodynamic model for Algeciras Bay Port
The objective is to develop a high-resolution model to characterize the currents inside the port docks and, on the other hand, to resolve the anomalies observed in the former hydrodynamic model developed for the Strait of Gibraltar and the Bay of Algeciras (SAMPA) validate it, and nest the high-resolution model with the hydrodynamic SAMPA model. Likewise, environmental modules […]
BrainPort Analytics
Summary: The objective of the BrainPort Analytics project is to develop a methodology to monitor operational processes and procedures by using an efficient sensor network at Algeciras and Tarifa Ports and, on the other hand, to develop a data analytical system based on Big-Data and Business Intelligence (BI) to process large volumes of data. This […]
IBM and MAERSK bet on BLOCKCHAIN technology
IBM, one of the technological giants with more experience in Blockchain, and the Maersk Group, leader in container transport, announce a collaboration to digitize and expedite international trade transactions through the use of blockchain technology. The proposed solution will significantly streamline document management and bureaucratic controls, reduce fraud in customs controls and errors in annotations, […]
Globcurrent, optimization of maritime routes based on real-time data of ocean currents
The Globcurrent project of the ESA (European Spatial Agency) has merged the different measurements to generate an image of the daily sea currents during the last 24 years. Shipping companies may use this information to understand the characteristics of surface circulation in certain regions and obtain data in near real time, so that they can […]
3D printing of metal parts in the Port of Rotterdam
The Port of Rotterdam inaugurated at the end of 2016 the first laboratory of additive manufacturing and 3D printing of metal parts focused on the port industry (3D FieldLab). The success obtained in the development of the pilot project during 2015 led to the construction of this FieldLab, which will be located in the Innovation […]
