Multipurpose Terminals

Charting a Course in the Era of Supply Chain Integration

In the face of growing vessel sizes, volatile cargo volumes, intensified competition, land use constraints, and an increasing demand for supply chain integration, multipurpose ports and terminals are compelled to adapt. 

A multipurpose terminal, offering infrastructure, equipment, and services for various cargo and vessels, must be flexible to accommodate users from different cargo markets. The optimization potential for these often historically grown structures raises questions about restructuring or constructing new terminal areas to harness anticipated advantages.

A prevailing trend emphasizes greater networking among the various players in the transportation chain. Innovative technologies and rapidly changing market requirements in maritime supply chains and production sectors drive increased automation and digitalization. Future multipurpose terminals stand to benefit from increased networking, automation, and innovative IT systems.
