The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA) participates in the Smart Mobility Analytics (SMA) project, aimed at developing a system based on cameras and artificial intelligence, through the application of advanced detection algorithms based on neural networks, capable of analyzing passenger and vehicle flows. The resulting product is an integrated mobility management system […]

Summary: Nowadays, bunkering operations in ports are not free of congestion problems, leading in some cases to delays in these operations. There is also a lack of visibility, coordination and real-time operational awareness of these operations, resulting in waiting times and unnecessary fuel consumption by vessels. Consequently, higher GHG emissions in port facilities, overrun costs […]

Summary: The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA) participates in the VIPE project, focused on developing a tool for managing the risk and vulnerability of port infrastructure through the application of Synthetic Aperture Radar Differential Interferometry technology (DInSAR for its acronym in English) and artificial intelligence algorithms. The project, which has a grant […]

Summary: The project is part of the objective of the Port of Algeciras to become a Hub for Digitalization and Logistics Innovation and, specifically, within the set of technological projects that will allow to possess an Advanced Digital Platform for Port Orchestration. The project is developed in collaboration with the start-up NextPort, invested by the […]

Summary: The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA) is actively participating in the Port OCR Disruption project, developed by the start-up AllRead MLT and focused on changing the paradigm of optical character recognition (OCR) in ports, enabling the ubiquity of traceability in port facilities by removing financial and technological barriers to its adoption. […]

Summary: This project is part of the FIWARE ZONE IoT Challenge and is developed by the start-up HOPU, winner of the challenge entitled “Advanced platform for environmental management and sustainability in the Port of Algeciras” in the 2020 edition. The scope of the pilot project consists of the development of a solution based on Artificial […]

Summary: APBA participates in the European Project EPICENTER, focused on allowing a seamless transport of goods, focusing especially on the technological and operational opportunities that the Physical Internet, synchro-modal operations and other disruptive technologies such as Hyperloop, Industry 4.0 and autonomous vehicles provide. The project, funded by the Horizon Europe 2020 programme and with a […]

Summary: With our PROAS project, we aim to develop a Ship & Infrastructure Operations Forecasting System.  The system is to be based on a predictive safety and efficiency tool for port operations that can assess the physical environment, the planning of ship calls to port and scheduled operations. Due to the fact that there are […]

Summary: Currently, the Algeciras Port operates a port community system (entitled Teleport 1.0) that offers a series of services to the port community and comprises of two big blocks: Services directed to vessels (Teleport port services) and services directed to heavy truck traffic (Teleport heavy traffic). The Algeciras Port Authority (hereafter APBA) considers that the […]
