The ports are invited to not only share their vision of a smart port, but also to pool best industry practices to deal with a dynamic market. This approach makes it possible to go beyond traditional bilateral partnerships.
The steering committee of chainPORT established principles for its members. These principles will guide the actions of the various working groups in place, so that they can address major themes and issues ranging from mega-ships to the digitization of the port environment. The overall aim is to stimulate the exchange of ideas and the development of innovative projects.
The Port of Montreal is the ninth port authority to join the group, after the ports of Hamburg, Antwerp, Busan, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Rotterdam, Singapore and Indonesia Port Corporation. This select group consists not only of large maritime hubs, but also of ports that have proved their ability to innovate.
“The MPA is honoured and enthusiastic to join the ranks of the chainPORT group, which will allow us direct access to our international partners’ innovative ideas and projects,” said Sylvie Vachon, President and CEO of the MPA. “This membership shows yet again the Port of Montreal’s leadership in matters of innovation, and our participation in this group will definitely help us achieve our vision of the smart port.”
