Underwater noise monitoring system and cetacean tracking system
Summary: Ports are essential allies for the development and growth of the Blue Economy as they are the physical interface where all industries and sectors related to the oceans, seas and coasts can converge, both those based in the marine environment (maritime transport, fishing, energy generation) and those based on land (ports, shipyards, aquaculture on […]
Just in Time Bunkering Operations: AI model for bunkering operations optimization.
Summary: At present, bunkering operations in ports are not exempt from certain congestion problems, which can lead, in some cases, to delays in the start of these services to the vessel. Similarly, factors such as the lack of global visibility, coordination and real-time operational awareness of these operations could be improved. This would result in […]
SaferSEA Project: Innovative Technological Solutions for Maritime Safety and the Ecological Transition of Transport
Summary: Maritime transport is a fundamental pillar of the global economy, but it also poses significant challenges in terms of safety, sustainability, and environmental protection. The Atlantic Ocean, in particular, represents a strategic area for maritime trade and a key gateway to Europe, where demand for cargo and shipping vessels is expected to increase in […]
SIMHUB: predictive and prescriptive platform for decision-making optimization
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 […]
PROAS – Port Risk Optimized Advanced System
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 […]
Teleport 2.0
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).
