About us

Ports play an important factor in reaching European and national climate targets. They form the economic backbone of the Baltic Sea Region, but at the same time emissions from cargo transport and port activities are major contributors to environmental pollution.

The Blue Supply Chains project strives to support port authorities and operators in particular in implementing long-term steps towards decarbonisation. The project follows a three-pillar approach with a holistic perspective to include various port-relevant aspects. This encompasses answers to the questions of how the process of greening port operations can be supported (e.g. via electrification of handling equipment), how alternative fuels can be expanded (bunkering and loading strategy) and how environmentally friendly transport chains can be maintained and better connected (via combined transport).

The project will run from January 2023 to December 2025 under the leadership of Hafen Hamburg Marketing.

For more information please visit https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/bluesupplychains/.

The North Sea region (NSR) is one of the logistics zones in Europe: The largest seaports, but also many intermodal transportation nodes are located in the NSR. Those intermodal nodes are outstanding for the transportation of goods to and from the supply and demand markets. To increase attractiveness of a location along with its market potential, i.e. the achievable market, efficient, smart, and ecological transportation networks are needed. The intermodality should enable a concentration of transnational traffic and long distance flows, and as a result of their integration, provide for a highly resource efficient infrastructure use.
Currently, the Trans-European Network-Transport (TEN-T) policy is putting a strong focus on the development of the Core Network, the major transport axes across Europe. The whole trade and business network is not only depending on its major nodes but also on its hinterland. To raise the efficiency of transport flows in a holistic approach, the project will thus include both major and remoter transporation nodes to establish learning opportunities.

The overall project objective is to support smart intermodality growth in the NSR through efficiency enhancements. The detailed project objectives are:

  • Implementation of new smart processes and tools (smart intermodality),
  • Developing of strategies for smart efficiency enhancements (smart involvement)

The perspective of transportation is transnational. New are the instruments for implementation and involvement.
The project started on 24 February 2020 and ends in March 2023.

By engaging stakeholders from administration, port related business and logistics business along the supply chain, SMOOTH PORTS’ aims to reduce CO2 emissions from port-related road traffic by improving regional policy instruments in a holistic manner.

To achieve these aims, SMOOTH PORTS wants to utilise the differences of the project partners’ ports through an exchange of effective tools and best practices. A key focus lies on finding optimal procedures for the clearance of the goods. A further focus will be on the different approaches regarding Information and Communications Technology solutions for various traffic related port activities as well as on the question what alternative fuels can power port activities in the future.

The project started on 1st August 2019 and ends in January 2023.

Renewable Energy Development and Intelligent Implementation in Ports (REDII Ports)
REDII PORTS focuses on the programme area of renewable energy - from the perspective of a port authority. The project aims to harness local resources for technically feasible and economically affordable generation, storage and use of clean energy and fuels, with particular reference to five alternatives promoted by an EU directive and relevant to a port community: ELECTRICITY (LAND/HYDRO/BATTERY), WIND/TIDAL/SOLAR; BIODIESEL, HYDROGEN, AMMONIA/METHANOL. To achieve this ambitious goal, REDII PORTS will work on a three-step roadmap from local sources to production/storage at the ports and into the market, thus closing the loop by bringing local resources to the region.
The project starts on 22 September 2022 and will run until September 2025.

CoboTank - A project for the development and testing of collaborative and automated robots to support the loading process of inland tanker barges
The progressive automation of inland navigation is only effective if it is viewed holistically. The importance of liquid cargo handling in German inland ports is often neglected. Current tanker loading processes are sometimes characterised by manual, physically strenuous and error-prone work. This project addresses the great need for future-proof, automated solutions in the area of liquid cargo handling.
In the first phase, the project is implementing partial automation using a collaborative robot system, a so-called cobot, to support the loading process of tankers.
In addition to the cobot, a robotic arm is being developed in a second work stream to realise a fully automated refuelling process. An interdisciplinary approach involving engineers, psychologists and business economists will equally ensure the effectiveness and acceptance of the solutions.
The duration of the project is from July 2022 to June 2025 under the leadership of Garant Mineralölhandelsgesellschaft mbH. Other partners besides Port of Hamburg are Deymann Tankrode Logistics GmbH, DST - Entwicklungszentrum für Schiffstechnik und Transportsysteme eV, mercatronics GmbH and the University of Duisburg-Essen.
