Port Logistic
As part of the Port Logistics strategic line, Logistop works on the analysis, development and implementation of new concepts and models in the port logistics environment, and on the study of their impact on the sector, taking into account the factors that are currently shaping the logistics industry.
Logistop’s main objective in the strategic line of port logistics is, among others, to generate an innovation ecosystem and build consortiums of companies that develop improvement and innovation projects by obtaining public aid for innovation.
In Logistop’s strategic line of Port Logistics we work to:
- Strengthen the innovation capabilities of the platform and its partners in priority knowledge areas: process improvement, operational efficiency, digital transformation, decarbonisation of operations, etc.
- Focus on the collaborative innovation of the companies associated with the platform.
- Generate and execute innovation projects that add value and resolve needs and barriers identified by the companies that make up the platform.
- Generate new knowledge and knowledge transfer within the platform and to the outside world.
Improving the efficiency of port operations
Logistics chains are becoming increasingly global, complex and demanding. The only possible response to meet the new needs of both organisations providing logistics services and end users is to improve trade, transport and logistics processes.
Logistop is the ideal ecosystem to promote process improvement projects in the logistics-port environment that involve a wide range of public and private agents, as well as in the design and implementation of innovative solutions that take advantage of the potential of new technologies and adapt to the needs and particularities of each case. Port logistics processes and land transport management to deal with the congestion problems faced by practically all ports are some of the areas in which Logistop’s experience stands out.
DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL SOLUTIONS TO INCREASE THE VISIBILITY OF THE MARITIME-PORT INTERFACE.
- Harmonisation of the maritime port of call process and the operations involved.
- Development of standards-based tools to enable real-time information exchange between maritime-port agents.
- Improvement of maritime traffic control systems in ports.
- Development of analysis systems using automated decision algorithms and artificial intelligence to increase the predictive capacity of key events in the process: improvement of operations planning, berth availability, arrival/departure times, provision of services to the vessel, etc.
Sensorisation of assets using IoT devices.
Vehicles, cranes, etc. for data collection and operational information.
DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL SOLUTIONS TO INCREASE THE VISIBILITY OF THE PORT-HINTERLAND INTERFACE.
- Increased interoperability between external agents (land transport and rail) through new digital solutions that enable the sharing of key information for operations management.
- Development of analysis systems using automated decision algorithms and artificial intelligence to increase the predictive capacity of key events in the process: truck and rail arrivals/departures, improved operations planning, availability of train slots, arrival/departure times, etc.
Application of prototypes and automation technologies.
Vehicles, marine drones, aerial drones, etc. for application in various areas: maintenance, surveillance, internal traffic control, security, etc.

Decarbonisation of port-logistics operations
The decarbonisation of port operations is a field with significant scope for development, as there is currently a high dependence on fossil fuels for loading and unloading, handling and transporting large cargoes. Logistop has partners specialised in energy transition, who have the capacity to provide solutions based on alternative fuels such as green hydrogen, electrification of activities and renewable energies. Decarbonisation and energy transition towards low or zero emission operating models is one of the fundamental pillars in European and national strategies to ensure the sustainability and growth of economies, including strategic sectors such as transport and ports.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE SHIP AT BERTH.
Application of ship electrical connection technologies in port to reduce GHG emissions and pollutants, as well as noise levels.
Use of alternative fuels (hydrogen) in inland land transport and specific operations.
Service vehicles (maintenance, surveillance, etc.), internal transport of persons, storage of goods, etc.
Development of prototypes of electrified port machinery.
To reduce GHG emissions and pollutants in the operations of loading/unloading, transport and reception/delivery of goods at the port.
