Abu Dhabi: “The Gulf”
Abu Dhabi Ports Group has released a new research report reviewing its successes in digitalization, titled “The Importance of Digitalization for Efficiency: Leveraging Data in Smart Ports”, which represents valuable Scientific resources, Abu Dhabi Ports Group reviewed the dynamics of digitalization through this report.
As competition intensifies in maritime and container shipping, new trade alliances emerge and geopolitical conflicts on the international stage cast a shadow over supply chains, coupled with the growth of economic powers in the South and Hemisphere, this has caused fundamental changes in maritime trade routes .
In this turbulent period, the lifeline for many ports is to use modern technology to digitize their operations and transform traditional ports into so-called “smart ports”.
In its new research report, Abu Dhabi Ports conducts an extensive analysis of the extent to which digital technologies are impacting port operations, resulting in a clear strategic approach through which data can be leveraged to improve operational efficiency and enhance sustainability and competitiveness. The research report also talks about the challenges and success stories of digitalization in various ports around the world, especially in Asia, Africa and South America, where there has been a qualitative boom in the use of port technology.
The report highlights the effectiveness of using advanced technologies and implementing data-based strategies to reimagine port operations in their traditional form to meet the requirements of a modern and changing world.
qualitative change

A qualitative change. These technologies can store a large amount of information generated by port operations, logistics, sensors and GPS networks and process this information in real time, allowing ports to create models from different angles and dimensions, helping to improve port supply chains and reduce costs. facility delays and congestion, and improve efficiency levels among various stakeholders.
Increase productivity

Experts analyze new regulations and legislation, including the mechanisms for implementing the International Maritime Organization’s decision to make a Maritime Single Window (MSW) mandatory from early 2024, and the extent to which this will affect global operations of ports.
innovation
The main ideas of the report include a detailed study of technological innovations leading the development and transformation of traditional ports into smart ports, as well as the use of technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and blockchain to serve ports.
