SUMMARY:The digital Transformation of Business and Society, and its Impact on the Shipping, Ports and maritime Industries by 2030
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Keynote\nFormat: Keynote\nSpeaker: Gerd Leonhard\n\nThe next 20 years will bring more changes than the past 300 years; things that looked like science fiction only 10 years ago are now becoming reality. Automation and virtualization in every aspect of our society, robotisation and artificial intelligence, a global shift to affordable renewable energy, cognitive computing, predictive analytics and achieving business 'super-intelligence', 3D printing and a completely networked, social-local-mobile society. How will these exponential technological changes play out in the next 15 years, how will consumers and businesses change, and what might this mean for the shipping and maritime business? A lateral view from the future.

SUMMARY:The Importance of smartPORTs in global Competition – Challenges and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Transformations and Challenges in the global Economy\nFormat: Introduction\nSpeaker: Marco Lippuner\n\nModern harbors are confronted with major challenges: they need to adapt to new requirements such as increased size and complexity of the fleet, stricter requirements on environmental performance, port security and efficient infrastructure.
In global competition, meeting these requirements is a decisive factor for success. And this is exactly where the Siemens portfolio for harbors takes up. Marco Lippuner will show the variety of solutions Siemens offers for harbors. For example SIHARBOR which permits ships docked in port to connect to land-based power grids, thus allowing to shut down diesel generators and to cut off all emissions, fine dust and noise.

SUMMARY:What are the Threats and Opportunities for international Shipping in the Future?
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Transformations and Challenges in the global Economy\nFormat: Introduction\nSpeaker: Peter Hinchliffe OBE\n\nThis presentation will offer some thoughts about the future shape of the international shipping industry by setting the need for the carriage of cargo by sea against global political and economic scenarios. Then it will examine the major drivers that affect the industry including technology, supply of seafarers, regulation, and pressures from society in terms of service delivery, safety and environmental protection. Demand for new trade routes will be balanced against opportunities for growth.

SUMMARY:The Evolution of Containership Sizes and its Impact on the Industry
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Bigger Vessels – bigger Challenges\nFormat: Overview\nSpeaker: Jost Bergmann\n\nContainer ship design has been driven by economies of scale with the search for greater efficiencies in transportation rate per TEU propelling the industry toward ever larger vessels. In only the last few years, the size of the largest vessels has bounded from 14,000 to 18,000 to over 19,000 TEU, and today 20,000 TEU vessels are already on order at several shipyards. In his presentation Jost Bergmann, DNV GL, looks at the size development of ULCS, the main characteristics of 18,000 to 20,000 TEU vessels, the limiting factors to sizes above 22,000 TEU, as well at the considering the surrounding infrastructure, the impact of large container vessels upon it, and a cost/benefit analysis of ULCS. Finally the presentation considers, by applying a holistic perspective to both ship and supply chain, the optimum vessel size.

SUMMARY:Mega-ships: still for the common good?
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Bigger Vessels – bigger Challenges\nFormat: Statement\nSpeaker: Olaf Merk\n\nContainer ships have grown incessantly over the last decades due to a continuous search for economies of scale by shipping lines. In the past this has contributed to decreasing maritime transport costs that facilitated global trade. One can wonder if ever larger container ships still make a positive contribution to society. The increase in container ship sizes and the speed with which that happens has consequences for the rest of the transport chain: they require infrastructure adaptations and productivity levels that increase costs for port operators, port authorities and other stakeholders in the transport chain. Moreover, mega-ships cause peaks in ports and put a strain on hinterland transports, which is challenging for most ports, especially if these occur unexpectedly, for example if ships are not on time. Has a tipping point been reached where further ship size increases result in disproportionally higher port and hinterland costs?

SUMMARY:Traffic Control: Challenges and Solutions regarding the Navigation of Mega-Ships on the River Elbe and in the Port of Hamburg
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Bigger Vessels – bigger Challenges\nFormat: Statement\nSpeaker: Jörg Pollmann\n\nWe have about 30,000 movements of seagoing vessels in the port annually, and the number of exceptionally large vessels – ships with a length of over 330 metres and/or a beam of more than 45 metres – has been increasing since 2008. Accordingly, planning and ship clearance processes have become more complex. To ensure that traffic runs smoothly, all movements must be captured and monitored accurately. We see ourselves as mediators between ship crews, ship owners, terminal operators, stevedoring companies, pilots, agents and all other parties involved in shipping.
The continuous further development of the port’s traffic management system is vital to adequately cater for existing and future demand. That includes the further development of dynamic traffic modules and IT systems that enable the exchange of data between all parties involved within the harbour area. It is our declared aim to continue to meet the challenges on our way to becoming a SMART PORT and ensure that all vessels will enter and leave the port safely and fast.

SUMMARY:Challenges and Solutions dealing with large Container Vessels – the Perspective of a Terminal Operator
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Bigger Vessels – bigger Challenges\nFormat: Statement\nSpeaker: Benjamin Lai\n\nA long period of low growth combined with an industry race for larger vessels and lower unit costs have combined to cause a significant vessel supply/demand imbalance. These large vessels can only realistically be used on Asia-Europe and, to a lesser extent, on Asia-US West Coast routes as infrastructure restrictions curtail their use on other trades. Their introduction also displaces existing vessels into smaller routes and so vessel sizes have been increasing significantly over the last 5 years.
These larger vessels impact terminal productivity as they require longer container lifting distances due to their larger dimensions. Without changing other operational dynamics, these larger vessels actually reduce overall productivity as well as occupy larger proportions of quay length for longer periods of time.
During the initial period of mega-vessel deployment shipping lines wanted to remain independent and introduced new vessels sporadically as they were completed by shipyards. This led to a significant decrease in efficiency and a reduction in port productivity as larger vessels were occupying more quay wall without bringing in the proportional increase in throughput from consolidation.
In his session, Mr Lai will share his terminal’s experience in operating these mega- vessels, how these mega-vessels change the operating mindset from planning to actual operations as well as their effects on the purchasing of equipment. Mr Lai will also share some solutions in tackling these mega-vessel issues.
