Logistics efficiency is based on two pillars: physical infrastructures and the exchange of information and documents. On both counts, digital technologies are in full development. Among other things, the reduction of human intervention in presence is key to improve the resilience of port and logistics infrastructures. The movement of goods is increasingly trending towards the expansion of automation, with its most advanced point represented by autonomous robotics. The speed in the physical management of the flows would not, however, serve without a parallel streamlining in the exchange of information, which allows for the development of “fast corridors” of customs clearance that can also be applied to certain goods or destinations. The same technologies also allow to monitor the status and position of goods in real time, with a wealth of data that goes far beyond simple traceability. A panel will be dedicated to the generation and storage of energy in ports at the service of cold ironing, and a focus to the recent trend of synthetic carbon-neutral and carbon-free fuel using sea-based renawble energy sources.
