NextPort is a Spanish start-up, founded in 2022 in Algeciras as a technology and innovation brand of the US company Moffat&Nichol, a leading global organization in the planning and design of port facilities. NextPort brings a practical R&D&I approach to introduce artificial intelligence in ports and terminals: connecting processes, systems, data and people for an effective digital transformation aimed at realizing the technological evolution and change management of the port and logistics sector.
It is specialized in the application of digital twin technologies in the maritime industry, with solutions for Port Authorities, Terminal Operators and Shipping Companies; with the objective of providing digital management and decision support tools, based on the integration of information systems, advanced data analytics and simulation and emulation technologies of port processes.The APBA is collaborating with NextPort within the framework of the “SIMHUB” project, whose objective is the development of a digital platform to optimize port operations, analyzing future operational scenarios, obtaining predictions of events, forecasting their impact on operations and, finally, offering recommendations for actions that maximize the creation of port value. Likewise, the APBA has carried out together with NextPort the project “Simulation of the OPE Process“, which has allowed applying this concept to the Strait Crossing Operation (OPE), developing a prototype of a digital twin for a more efficient management.
