This first training session is aiming to a wide audience including management and administrative staff of ports, general professionals of port authorities and/or logistics activity areas bounded to maritime ports as well as logistics companies.

The training will address among other things the following:

• Container-driven developments in modern shipping and port operations & logistics. How ICT solutions are implemented and lessons learned.
• Description of port operations and challenges resulting from thick stacking and automated procedures
• Containers and yard equipment monitoring and positioning.
• Information and management systems for port & logistics operations and how they are addressing the issue of system integration.
• Modelling and simulation techniques and how they can improve efficiency; description of the VSM methodology

The trainers are experts coming from experienced and well-known companies and organisations including SEAbility Ltd., the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS), the Piraeus Container Terminal SA (PCT) and the Andalusian Institute of Technology (IAT).

Since INTE-TRANSIT is a project aiming at significant technological and innovative developments, the related training sessions will have a twofold interest: they will present both innovative and future solutions but also practical examples and best cases from existing applications. In addition to the presentations and to the discussions to be organised, trainees will have the opportunity to explore different technologies, in the framework of a virtual technology lab that will include demos presented by well known suppliers.
