APBA, represented by Jesús Medina and Enrique Martín, took part in the eighth edition of the international IPIC2021 conference (International Physical Internet Conference) held online in June and co-organised by the European ALICE platform. IPIC aims to provide an open forum for researchers, industry representatives and representatives from the administration to explore, discuss and introduce concepts, methodologies, recent projects, technological advances and start-up initiatives for the present and future implementation of the Physical Internet (PI).
The virtual event, focused on the era of hyper-connectivity and sustainability in logistics chains, featured the participation of more than 180 speakers distributed over three areas of knowledge (Shippers & Retail, Logistics Nodes and Digitalisation & Data Sharing) and more than 30 sessions.
Specifically, the Port of Algeciras took part in the S23 (Data Sharing Governance and Principles Applied to Port Ecosystems), which focused on how ports and airports are becoming physical-internet hubs and how they are implementing solutions to improve operational efficiency through data sharing. Here, APBA presented its vision of how the role of the Port Authority must evolve to transform the Port of Algeciras into a digitally interconnected hub within the global logistics network.
This session included the participation of representatives from the Ports of Barcelona, Hamburg and Valencia, as well as AirCargo Belgium. The main topics of discussion included the present and future of standards, governance systems and interconnectivity between the multiple digital platforms that make up the logistics panorama today.
