Digitising ports will open up real-time data sharing across the supply chain

Up until, digital solutions within most industries have been developed in silos. This has resulted in patchy and fragmented ecosystems and there is still a lot of work to be done to bridge the gaps – break the silos – between digital systems. Take ports within the maritime industry as an example.

As the connection between supply chain infrastructure on land and at sea strengthens, ports will have a pivotal role to play in enabling resilience and emissions reduction across the end-to-end supply chain.

Digitising ports will help open up sharing real-time data across the supply chain and ensure vessels move through ports more efficiently.  In 2023, we will see technology being used more to break down silos and ensure the supply chain can communicate more efficiently.
