Multipurpose Terminals

Providing flexible and efficient operating concepts to create solutions for a modern port

With increasing vessel sizes, high volatility of cargo volumes, stronger competition and an increased demand for supply chain integration, ports are required to adapt. Multipurpose ports and terminals are particularly challenged by the need to optimize their activities and efficiently serve different categories of vessels carrying various types of cargo, being often confronted with limited space. Dealing with a dynamic port landscape and ensuring that all related activities are performed efficiently often requires strategic adaption.
