Port management
Port Management and Port Management describes the management of ports. The goal is usually to offer flexible handling and logistics solutions for customers with a lean structure. The implementation mostly takes place in the "Port Authorities" (port authorities). An example of a port authority for a German seaport is the Hamburg Port Authority .
Large ports have to cope with a number of different activities and tasks, including ship movements, different types of cargo, loading and unloading, customs and human resources, anchoring and mooring operations, storage and berths and more. An efficient management of a port includes the management of the resources, the supervision of the financial flows of the participants and the further development based on management information.
Concepts, implementation and development in Germany
The HPA (Hamburg Port Authority), in cooperation with the TU Hamburg-Harburg, has decided on a funding agreement for the establishment of a junior professorship . The aim is to promote teaching, research and scientific training in the area of "smartPORT", which stands for intelligent port management in the Port of Hamburg .
There are also groups and companies such as the “International Port Management” (IPM) or the “DHI Group”, which can be commissioned to provide support and use their own software solution in the port and thus contribute to improving the process in the port.
