visitors and sponsors, to Hamburg for the 29th IAPH World Ports
Conference.
This event happens every two years and is a highlight in the calendarof all of us involved in managing Ports around the world. The themeof this conference under the banner of “smartPORT” along with theopportunity to experience and see one of the most iconic port / city
environments on our planet, represents a unique opportunity. In truth,

This event will also be a significant point in history for our Association as we seek to redefine our future and what IAPH will offer for its
members. We will be discussing a new Constitution which we believe
will better position us to have a higher profile in our industry, andgreater value and more relevance to our members. It is fitting thatsuch a change should happen at a location where an abundance ofhistory sits side by side with innovation and technology – past andfuture in harmony.

smartPORT Hamburg
Finding the right balance between economy
and ecology has become a key issue for ports
all over the world, and the Port of Hamburg istackling the challenge through intelligent port
management solutions.
In today’s world of globalisation and climatechange, creativity and alternative actions are
required to achieve sustainable economic
growth with as little impact on the environment as possible. The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) is focusing on transparency and innovative technologies with the ultimate aim
to make the Port of Hamburg a “smartPORT”.
The HPA’s intelligent port management isfounded on two pillars: the smartPORT
energy concept under which the HPA has
outlined aims and developed measures toreduce energy consumption, emissions andcosts in the Port of Hamburg. Innovative
mobility concepts, renewable energy sources and the interlinking of energy-generating
plants and consumer plants to promote theefficient use of resources are at the forefrontof the HPA’s approach.
The second pillar, the smartPORT logistics
concept, primarily focuses on increasing the
economic efficiency of the Port of Hamburg
as an important link in the global supply
chain. In order to create the conditions thatenable the optimisation of traffic and tradeflows, the HPA is developing an intelligent
infrastructure: the latest IT mega-trend technologies will be deployed to collect, analyseand process data so as to ensure transparency at all stages of the supply chain and enable
early intervention.

as its location close to the city centre calls
for a harmonized cooperation of di• erent
users. In the Elbe river at the entrance ofthe port of Hamburg our examination of
exhaust gas plumes of the vessels showsthat nearly all vessels comply with the
new regulations on sulphur content infuel.
Which objectives did you set yourself forthe future?

Monika Breuch-Moritz

I would like to further promote one topic
that has been important for me for sometime – and which is in the best interest of
the maritime sector: protecting the environment in maritime transport. Ships as ameans of transport are very eco-friendly andindustry has already proven that mandatory
regulations lead to progress and the development of innovative solutions. With theongoing successful collaboration between
the economic and environmental sector
there is even more room for improvement.
Ports do have all the necessary instruments
to maximise marine protection. Infrastructure for alternative bunkering and on-shore
supply is today’s key topic when we talkabout smartPort energy.
Talking about ports: • e intensive collaboration between public authorities, shipowners and other port facilities and enterprises is essential. BSH has its focus on
the marine industry since we understandourselves as a partner to the maritime andshipping industry.
Talking about BSH: Currently we are undergoing the tendering process for a new
survey ship. Main criteria will be energye• ciency and environmental performance. We need to step ahead and showthat cost and environmental e• ciency are
two sides of the same coin.

President of the Federal Office for Maritime Shippingand Hydrography (BSH)
What expectations do you haveof IAPH?
It is a high-ranking meeting if you regard the
speakers as well as the participants. Therefore
I hope that I can learn what is relevant for the
ports at the moment. Ocean vessels call at ports
worldwide. Despite this the national legislationsof port states set di• erent frameworks for thecrew of the vessels. Therefore it would be highly
desirable if IAPH as a worldwide association
could drive harmonization, for example, of(security) standards relating to LNG bunkering,
shore-side power supply or waste management.

What is your most important topic?

Environmental protection is one oftoday’s dominant topics, both on and o•shore. Ports are the interface where thenational legislation on environmental andclimate protection meet the international
shipping regulations. In my presentation
I am going to highlight the activities
aimed at reducing air pollution causedby ocean vessels. • ese activities are very
valuable for the ports if they are e• ectively implemented and controlled. • is isespecially true for the port of Hamburg

SmartPort logistics“Smartport means morethan reporting bottlenecks”
How HPA Chairman Jens Meier sees the port future
Anyone entering the Hamburg Port Authority‘s central
administration building in
Hamburg‘s old warehouse
district will find on the left agiant-sized tablet computer.
Shown on its display is nothing less than the future of theport. A click and a young man
named Daniel gives a rundown on growth prospects forthe port until the year 2025.

A further click and ‘Günter’ explains in a video about plans toposition Europe‘s third biggest
sea freight hub as a quality port.
• e problem, however, is thatthe port‘s infrastructure is already bursting at the seams.
More e• ciency is called forand best achieved throughhigher IT networking and improved usage of available data.
• e requirement to become„Smart“ has led to the „Smart
Port“ initiative now under way
in the Port of Hamburg. Already, sensors count vehicles
on port roads and large displays show where bo• lenecks
arise. An app even helps truck
drivers • nd the nearest parking
area. Other measures include
a tra• c management system
to coordinate road and rail
movements.
Similar concepts are being
implemented in other North
Range ports. At the World Port
Conference the HPA intends
to announce next steps on theway to become an „intelligent
port“. Asked speci• cally whatthese are, Jens Meier would
give nothing away other than:„Smartport means more thanreporting bo• lenecks.“
In Meier‘s world, the keyword
is „• e Internet of Everything.
We must link tra• c informa-tion for all means of transport
to cargo handling information“. • en the next step is, „tobreak port limitations,“ which
the port manager explains bymeans of an example: „Fora chemical company on the
Rhine, whose export business
requires detailing hazardous
materials, the worst thing is
to discover that a declaration
is faulty or incomplete shortly
before arrival in port.“ Direct
action with the relevant o• cesthen makes sense, „to ensurethat customs clearance andterminal bookings are alreadyseen to when the goods arrive“.
Today solutions are available
or being developed by way of
an import and export message
platform. „• e decisive point,“
continues Meier, „is not tobegin by asking the question
about who should have accessto data, but to agree on a model that guarantees e• cient
data processing.“ Meier is wellaware of objections on grounds
on data security, but sees security primarily in having reliable
systems, that is, „• rst they must
be available, second there must
be controlled access to data.
Because it has less to do withsensitive data and more withdata to help optimise tra• c• ows, such as departure times- so obviously not really of asensitive nature.“ Questioningarguments based on data security, he assumes it has more
to do with the fear of competitors learning something theyshould not.
To clarify, Meier cites anotherexample from the aviation industry: Airline representatives
convened at Zurich airport
to come up with a solution tominimise airport delays, even-

tually deducing that if a • ight
was behind schedule it would
make sense to transfer the slot
to another plane, even if froma di• erent airline. Although anairline would stand out if it had
many delays in one week, Meier explains that this is less relevant than focusing on the collective e• ort. If these obstacles
could be overcome and „fertile
ground created for innovativeideas“, then completely new
business models may emerge.
Meier gives a further example
to explain what he means, thistime from the cruise sector:
When on the day of departure thousands of cruise shippassengers arrive at Hamburg
railway station, their luggage
needs transporting to the terminal. But where can the trucks

carrying the luggage park when
all spaces are occupied by buses full of passengers? Meier‘ssolution: „If passengers submi• ed their smartphone data,service providers could ensurethat passengers get to the shipwith their luggage comfortably
and conveniently. For example,
they could have their luggage
picked up from home 2 days
earlier or be sent a restaurant
recommendation.“
Analyse current procedures

Meier sees such value added
services and e• ciency gains
possible also in freight transport. „We are already on theway, but need to thoroughly examine existing business models“. And that is also what the
Smartport concept is all about.

Impressions Women’s Forum
Working Lunch

Still underrepresented in the maritime industry, the IAPH
Women’s Forum, held since 2012, aims at enhancing andempowering women. In the Mariott Hotel 25 women fromthe maritime world gathered yesterday for a Working Lunch. Aftera short opening speech by Chairperson Naomi Kogon-Steinberg(USA) IAPH President Grant Gilfillan (Australia) welcomed theparticipants: „The way women are treated is still diﬀerent. Thereis always a price to pay, but the price women pay is higher thanthe one men pay.“ Following his speech the forum’s four iniatives
were presented. Dr. Geraldine Knatz (USA) introduced the twoplanned scholarship programs: the biennial training scholarshipfor maritime related academic studies and trainings, and theannual meeting scholarship, which enables women to take partin IAPH conferences.
Justine Camoin (France) reported on the work on website development and the forum’s social media activities.
Melissa Kappely (New Zealand) and Rachel Vandenberg (Canada)
presented the mentoring program, aiming to support the advancement and empowerment of women within IAPH.
The fourth initiative of an exchange program between ports waspresented by Siti Noraishah Azizan from Malaysia. The objective isto provide opportunities for women to broaden their horizon andimprove intercultural skills.

More than 270 million Euro added value – Cruise business continues to grow
– Environment increasingly important
Not only is the „Queen Mary 2“ a majestic
sight when sailing into the Port of Hamburg. For the public on the banks of theRiver Elbe, each of the almost 200 annual
giant cruise ship arrivals is an impressive
spectacle. Also impressive is the amountof money the business generates for thecity of Hamburg.

According to a survey by the Hamburg
Chamber of Commerce, every year thecruise business creates additional revenueof over 270 million Euro for the Hanseaticstate city, a sum far greater than that accruing from tourist expenditure.
Hamburg is banking on the trend to holidays on board ship being here to stay. 189
arrivals registered by the Cruise Centre
in 2014 are twice that of • ve years ago. In
the same period passenger numbers havemore than quadrupled: 588 690 cruise
ship passengers visited Hamburg last year
compared with 127 000 in 2009. Whilst
fewer cruiser tourists (525 000) and ships(161) are expected in 2015, this is due tovarious factors, such as adaptation to newemission guidelines or a shi• of capacities
to Asia.
In the long run the growth trend is expected to continue, a signi• cant contribution

IAPH Daily News | 2 June 2015 | No 1

to be made by the „AIDAprima“ alone,which from spring 2016 will be bringing
around 4000 passengers to her home port.
Further grounds for optimism are provided by the port of Hamburg again receiving
the „Best Turn¬around Port Operations“
award from the magazine „Cruise Insight“
earlier this year and healthy order books inthe construction yards. • e prognosis for
Hamburg and the 1500 jobs dependent on
the industry indeed looks positive.
To give an insight into the complex system
of income added by the cruise industry in
Hamburg, we can take the example of the„Queen Mary 2“ entering the port area.
With a li• le luck, from the banks of theElbe the pilot boat might be seen pullingup alongside the giant as it makes its way
down the river and the two pilots required
for a vessel this size climbing aboard tonavigate the liner safely to its berth. In themeantime the Cruiser Terminal is well
prepared for the arrival of the 2600 passengers, alongside approximately 100 workers
from up to 30 companies to make sure all
operations run smoothly: from linesmen,river police and forkli• truck drivers on thequay to customs o• cials, shu• le service
personnel and cleaning teams. All these
are components in the process chain for

cruiser shipping in the Port of Hamburg,
which counts around 400 companies and1500 employees in total. Investment of 64
million Euro in a third cruiser terminal
in Steinwerder, where the • rst passengers
will be checking in and out of their ships
this summer, is testimony to the city‘s con• dence in the future.
Local politicians and investors plainly expect the cruise sector to be a continued
money-spinner for the city. 25 million
Euro we see generated above as added value just for the arrival procedure. On top of
this come further wages in the port, processing fees, as well as fuel and waste disposal charges.
E• ects of the cruise ship boom are also
evident beyond the ships‘ berths. Around
21 million Euro is spent by passengers andcrew during their stay in Hamburg restaurants, shops, and also in hotels, if they stayin the city overnight before or a• er theircruise.
Aside from passengers and crew, cruise
ships arriving in Hamburg also a• ract day
tourists, especially for ships‘ naming ceremonies and events like Cruise Days or the
port anniversary celebrations in May. Industry events such as the biennial Seatradefair, with its 4000 visitors, the biggest of its

CRUISE SHIPPING

kind, also bring business tourists to the„Hansestadt“. • e Chamber of Commerce
calculates a value added sum of 32 million
Euro arising from people only.
On top of the 400 companies in Hamburg
involved in the cruise business come shipyards, ships‘ suppliers and construction• rms working on terminals and infrastructure, in addition to service companies,
such as wholesalers, so• ware producers,
shipping lines, certi• ers and consultants,
which are responsible for the lion‘s shareof added value, namely 192 million Euro.
Today this • gure could even be bigger
since the Chamber of Commerce based its
calculation in the 2013 survey on only 200
companies.
• e Port of Hamburg is constantly working on expanding and improving services
for ships. Here, ecology plays a big role.
For example, ships in future will be required to switch o• their auxiliary diesel
engines when at berth. Consequently, asof this season the company Becker Marine Systems will for the • rst time be providing energy to cruise liners berthed in
the port from its „Hummel“ LNG hybrid
barge. Unlike conventional diesel engines, the • oating liquid natural gas power generator, developed in cooperation
with the AIDA cruise line, emits no sulphur dioxide or • ne dust particles, whilst
reducing nitrogen oxides by 80 per centand carbon dioxide by 30 per cent. • ePort of Hamburg is the • rst in Europe toHummel supplies onshore power
World premiere in Hamburg: Following trials lasting several months, since 30th May afloating LNG power station now supplies cruise ships in the AIDA fleet with electricity
when at berth in the port. The barge named “Hummel” - a vessel without engines of its
own - supplies the first environment-friendly energy from liquified natural gas (LNG) tothe liner “AIDAsol” at the Cruiser Terminal. “It is an important step to an even greener
port”, says Hamburg Environment Senator Jens Kerstan (Green Party).
Some cruise ships consume as much power as a small town when at berth. LNG power generators represent a possibility, after onshore power, to significantly reduce vessel
emissions when at rest in the port. LNG electricity generators emit no sulphur oxides
or fine dust particles, nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 80 per cent and those ofcarbon dioxide by 30 per cent.
The barge was launched in September 2014 in Slovakia. With its five gas motors it can
provide 7.5 megawatts - as much as two wind power generators on land. The LNG is imPHOTO: BECKER MARINE
ported from the Netherlands.

o• er environment-friendly electricity to
cruise liners in this form and in the second half of the year ships at the Altona
cruiser terminal will be supplied energy
by the • rst stationary shore-based power generator. • is clearly illustrates how
value added production by companies
and that relating to the arrival of ships areintertwined.

If the cruise business continues to develop so positively, the city can lookforward to large value added rewards infuture. Moreover, when admiring viewsof the huge ships as they enter the port,
the population of Hamburg can rest assured that their contribution to the citygoes far beyond offering an attractive
spectacle.

Large Cranes for Large Vessels
The CTB expands its capacities for the latest generation of mega-ships
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) yesterday announced its order for three
new container gantry cranes
for the Burchardkai Container
Terminal (CTB).

•

ese state-of-the-art cranes
make it possible to handle ships
with a capacity of 20,000 standard containers (TEU). • e CTB
is thereby expanding its capacities to accommodate the latest
generation of mega ships. Chinese manufacturer ZPMC willbe the supplier of the cranes.
Dr. Stefan Behn, member of the
HHLA Executive Board, pointed out the signi• cance of the investment: “• e number of ultra
large vessels calling at our Hamburg terminals is growing all thetime. • e new cranes provide us
with additional capacity and• exibility, allowing us to continue handling vessels with thehigh level of productivity that
our customers are accustomed

The HHLA has ordered three new container gantry cranes for the Burchardkai Terminal

to. Purchase of the cranes is partof our long-term programme toadapt to ship sizes and increase
productivity. At the same time
we are implementing measures
to ensure a more e• cient coordination of tra• c both at thequayside and in the hinterland.”•e new container gantry
cranes will be positioned atberth 5/6 and are designed forcontainer ships with 24 transverse container rows. • anks

• ese were the questions aired to thepanel during the „Bigger Vessels – Bigger
challenges“ discussion moderated by Max
Boodie on Tuesday a• ernoon.
Pannel Discussion

Jost Bergmann, Business Director for Container Ships at DNV GL, opened by asking
if it really made sense to build bigger andbigger vessels. However, no clear answer
was forthcoming for this question, neither for the the next question posed by PD
Dr Christian Growitsch, Director of the

Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI), who wanted to know:“who will pay for it?”. Olaf Merk, Administator Ports and Shipping, International
Transport Forum (ITF) at OECD, pointed out that there is a “disconnect between
shipping lines and infrastructure”. Jörg
Pollmann, Harbour Master of the Portof Hamburg, also held the opinion thatshipping lines fail to talk adequately withports about infrastructures and planningfor the future. Capt. Salvatore Ca• ero, Environmental Manager & Training O• cer
at MSC P/Sorrento, on the other hand,stressed that MSC already collaborates
closely with ports and port authorities.
IAPH Voting App

Moderator Max Boodie then asked theaudience to vote via app whether it makes
sense for one member of the logistic chain
to bene• t from ultra large ships at the expense of other parties. • e result was veryclear indeed: 65 per cent of the voting participants responded with a de• nite „no“.
Reacting immediately to this poll, Olaf

The scene for yesterday’s opening event was set by a spectacular stage show:
A container on passage from Tokyo, where the IAPH is based, to Hamburg, thelocation for this year’s event, took the audience on a voyage to the smartPORTin the truest sense of the word. With trampoline artistes, drummers andlight installations the scene was ablaze with colour and activity. Along withtalks and debates on current issues aﬀecting port operations all over theworld, guests have an ideal opportunity to exchange views and experience
with peers and particularly intensify their business network. The conference
promotes this aspect specifically by providing an exhibition, trade fair and avaried, interesting and entertaining support program.

Europe’s ports are stocking up. From Meerbusen in Finland to the warm waters of the
Aegian, seaports are massively expanding their cargo handling capacities. A major
reason for this is to be prepared for the new generation of ultra large container ships.
The “Daily News” shows a European overview here.
The map shows 28 ports, including market leader Rotterdam, second largest Antwerp,
Hamburg in third place, and newcomer Bronka. The new multi-purpose port in
St. Petersburg will begin first phase operations in September after a 400 million
euro investment program. It is planned to develop the location systematically inyears to come with a view to optimise processes and vastly increase cargo handlingcapabilities. In phase one capacities of 200,000 TEU will be available. In further
development stages, for which no dates are currently confirmed, two and later evenfive million TEU will be possible. For RoRo cargo handling an initial annual capacity of
2.4 million tonnes is foreseen.

The construction boom is founded on the hope of lasting growth in container
shipping. For the current year experts from the Bremer Institut of Shipping Economics
and Logistics (ISL) and consulting company Hackett Associates forecast growth ofaround three per cent for the European ports. Indeed ships’ capacities are growing
rapidly, primarily due to large size container vessels. Around 300 ships with 10,000
TEU and more are already in service and a further 165 ordered, according to market
experts from Dynamar. 50 of these will be able to carry at least 19,000 TEU. Recently
it has been rumoured that market leader Maersk Line intends to invest in the largest
available units and order up to eleven 20,000 TEU container ships.

Hamburgs Vessel Traffic Service Centre – One of the most modern facilities worldwide
The Port of Hamburg’s Vessel Traffic Service Centre (VTS Centre) is one of themost modern facilities worldwide.

A• er a two-year renovation period, twelve
months ago to the day Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) completed the refurbishment of the Vessel Tra• c Service Centre(VTS Centre) at Bubendeyufer.
Frank Horch, Hamburg Minister for Economic A• airs, Jens Meier, Chairman of
the Management Board of the Hamburg
Port Authority (HPA), and Jörg Pollmann,
Harbour Master, o• cially inaugurated the
new building. Over one hundred guests
were joined by hybrid tug „Eddy“, one of
the most modern tugboats in service, tocelebrate the occasion.
„In view of rising tra• c volumes, everlarger container vessels and the need toensure that the port maintains its competitive edge, refurbishment was necessary tobring the facility up to date with regard totechnical, space-planning and energy-saving standards. • e VTS Centre is a corepiece of the Port of Hamburg. Whether
container ships or dinghies – nothing in
the Port of Hamburg escapes the noticeof sta• at the VTS Centre,” says Horch.
From January 2012 to June 2014 the oldbuilding was extended and the technicalequipment upgraded to meet the speci• cneeds of the navigators and accommodate
future developments.
“• e VTS Centre, one of the most modern

vessel surveillance centres in the world,monitors and coordinates vessel tra• c in
the Port of Hamburg. At the same time,
it is a vital element in the HPA’s e• orts tomake our vision of a smartPORT become
reality,” states HPA Chairman Meier.
One of the aims was to create an e• cientand • exible work environment where
people and technology come together toconnect and collaborate. Before actual
work commenced the HPA, in co-operation with the University of Hamburg andthe Hamburg Informatik Technologie
Center [Technology Centre for Computer Science], made detailed examinationsof work processes and technical systems
at the VTS Centre. • e results of the joint
project formed the basis for the spatial andtechnical design of the new construction.
„• e new VTS Centre makes us wellplaced for the future, enabling us to provide e• cient and safe navigation in the
Port of Hamburg. On top, we were able tosigni• cantly improve working conditions
for our colleagues,” says Harbour Master
Pollmann.
Technical improvements

Many of the technical tools and equipment used at the nearly 6.5 million euro
investment were speci• cally developed tomeet the needs of VTS operators. • e new
VTS Centre boasts technically highly advanced work stations and state-of-the-art
equipment. Amongst others, it features

a high-resolution large screen to display
nautical information with interface to all
nautical work stations. • e information
is supplied by the Port Monitor, a control
station system.
A thermal ice storage system with heatpump to e• ciently use waste heat has
been installed in the new building on the
Seemannshö• . Underground water pipes
absorb the excess heat which, due to therelatively constant ambient temperatureof the earth, can be stored slightly above
freezing point and fed back to the heating
system at the start of the heating season.
If heat is withdrawn from the ice storage
system, the liquid in the water pipes will
freeze, releasing crystallisation energythat is used to cool technical equipment in
the VTS Centre.
•

About the VTS Centree VTS Centre on the Seemannshö• , including the radar centre to the east of thepilots’ station on the Seemannshö• , wasbuilt from 1975 to 1977. As a • eld o• ceof the Harbour Master’s Division it is incharge of monitoring and regulating vesseltra• c within the area of the port. A teamof • ve VTS o• cers are on duty aroundthe clock to ensure safe navigation on thewaterways, supported by ultra moderntra• c surveillance systems. During therefurbishment period the VTS Centre washoused in the emergency response VTS
Centre at Veddeler Damm.

This evening visitors to the World Ports Conference will be celebrating the Grand Gala
Dinner. In former times the location had a quite different purpose.
The “Fischauktionshalle”, address Große Elbstraße 9, was the hub of the fish trade in
Hamburg.
Built in the 19th century as a central market place, today the Fischauktionshalle is primarily
an event location. Nevertheless, the impressive red brick construction still pays tribute to
the port of Hamburg’s remarkable history. The Altona Fischauktionshalle with its industrial
appeal and rough charm is one of the city’s top tourist sites and attraction for up to4200 people. Kaiser Wilhelm II. opened the construction in a grand ceremony in 1896.

FOCUS“Kind of arevolution”
Stricter international
environmental standards at sea
to be expected in the future
Sea transport of containers has a reputation of being climate friendly due tolow carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per
tonne kilometer. However, the act ofshipping throws immense quantities ofharmful substances into the atmosphere
all around the world. This has led to anumber of international environmental
regulations at sea being passed, someof which are already in force. Others tocome are being discussed at committee
level.

“Why do we need regulations?” asked
Monika Breuch-Moritz, President of theFederal Maritime and Hydrographic
Agency (BSH), as she opened her lectureon the subject „International environmental standards at sea“ on Wednesday a• ernoon in the CCH.

•

BSH President Monika Breuch-Moritz

e answer is quite simple: Whereas in thepast shipping was seen as a major contaminator, new regulations have contributed
to a more positive view in recent years.
Breuch-Moritz pointed out that the discussion is presently dominated by threemain issues: ballast water, sewage and air
emissions.
“MARPOL Annex VI on air emissions isa good example on how regulations developed and how they are monitored.” Although the • rst reduction of sulphur dioxide for the Baltic Sea as Sulphur Emission
Control Area (SECA) was adopted as early as 1997, it did not come into force until
2005. “Limitations at that time were still
too high”, she explained.
“Public awareness of environmental protection has grown immensely during thelast 10 years in the US and Northern Eu-

rope. Nevertheless, the majority of countries were reluctant to support legislation
beyond IMO rules (International Maritime Organisation).”
Since 2015 stricter sulphur dioxide regulations have been introduced for the SECA
in the Baltic and North Sea and on both
North American coasts: Fuel is only permi• ed to have a maximum sulphur content of 0.1 per cent. From 2020 or 2025 at
the latest a limit of 0.5 per cent is foreseen.
“• e new regime will be a kind of revolution”, said Breuch-Moritz. “I sincerely
hope that the worldwide regulation willenter into force in 2020.”
For Germany she is pleased today about
the positive results BSH has been measuring: Sulphur dioxide emissions in January
this year were signi• cantly lower than December 2014.

TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATIONIT technologies are moving into ports all over the world: Agreement from Wim Elfrink (Cisco), Jens
Meier (HPA), Volker Worthmann (Lufthansa), Moderator Max Boodie, José García de la Guia (Port of
Valencia), Michael Pal (Port of Fremantle) and Patrik Bol (DP World) (from left)“Think big – Start small”

International IT- and port experts explain smarter infrastructure for terminals
How to handle increasing container volumes in the shortest conceivable timein an area of constant size? That is only
possible using the latest cargo handlingequipment and intelligent IT systems.
Experts from the technology sector andport managers found agreement on thissubject during a podium discussion at
this year’s IAPH Conference in Hamburg.

“24 hours to load and unload 6000 containers – that will become the new standard.”• ese words of Patrick Bol, Director Global
Operations at terminal operator DP World,
describe the challenge facing container
ports. Such volumes not only make hugedemands on the terminals but also on traf• c infrastructures in the hinterland.
“Ports can only be intelligent when freight
and transport data are seamlessly linked,”
added Jens Meier, Chairman of the Man-

agement Board at Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) referring to the Smart Port
Logistics Project in the Port of Hamburg.
José García de la Guia, IT Head for thePort Authority of Valencia demonstrated
the bene• ts of such links commenting,“Information on ship arrivals and freight
volumes could, for example, • ow into traf• c forecasts.”
Conditions for such systems to be realised in the individual ports are far fromhomogenous. “For an IT project there’s
a big di• erence between starting fromscratch or having to work one’s way into
an existing system envrionment,” says
Wim Elfrink, Executive Vice President,
Industry Solutions and Chief Globalisation O• cer of the IT corporation Cisco. Cooperation between the public andprivate sectors is essential if smart ports
are to have a chance of success. HPA boss

Meier believes that there’s no way roundsmart port concepts. Compared to theconstruction of physical port infrastructure IT projects are inexpensive. Volker
Worthmann, Director Transport andLogistics at Lu• hansa Industrial Solutions, nevertheless advised against unmanageable mega projects. “• ink big,start small,“ his tip.
• e fact that even small ports can create
smart systems with reasonable cost and effort was proved by Michael Pal, Principal
Transport Analyst at the Australian Fremantle Ports, with his own example: • eport authority records truck congestion ona video system which allows it to identify
which terminal is responsible for any upsets to normal processes. Since introduction of the system tra• c • ows in all areasof the port have visibly improved – as haveclearance times for trucks.

smartStowage gives backtime for collaboration
Early and detailed communication could become a key factor for success
Digitalization of the maritime
industry and associated logistics might mark the beginningof full networking for all players in the logistics chain.

Influence on terminal
operation

Port operators are developing digitalized management
systems for optimizing tra• c• ows, terminal operators areautomating systems for handling goods, and liner operators can use modern so• ware
solutions to improve shipping
operations and capacity utilization. Early and detailed
communication and data
availability could become akey factor for successful collaboration.

Ship arrivals remain thestarting point for any integrated port logistics chain.
Ocean carriers and terminal
operators have a special interested in port stay times, cargo
intake and moves, as well as
fuel oil consumption. A professional stowage plan provides answers. It includes not
only details of the cargo planning according to the port
rotation, but takes into account the proper separationof specific loads, makes fulluse of the cranes at ports andensures the sustained stability of the container ship. The
more carefully all factors forstowage planning are considered, the greater the benefits
for liner companies and terminal operators. With a view
to integrating even more

This software generates

the ship even arrives and canbe seen in an improved yard organization, as early and extensive information improve theberth allocation, container prestow and the planning of storage areas for cargo remaining at
the port. Calculating the crane
capacity required for transshipment and the intensity of craneuse has an in• uence on terminal operations too. Precise
details of the process times forcontainer moves allow appropriate scheduling of container
gantry cranes and their crane
operators and the additional
equipment used for loading.
Beyond transshipment at thequayside, it is important to
prepare for the further transport of cargo by rail or road.
Optimum data and information made quickly available areparticularly bene• cial for the
port operator‘s tra• c management. smartStowage tools like

Since 2012 the Hapag-Lloydshipping line has been using
a concept for providing shorebased power to its container
ships in US ports. It can be applied to almost all ships in the
fleet, irrespective of shipboard
voltage or power requirements at berth.

When the „Dallas Express“,operated by the Hamburg shipping line, sails into the portof Oakland in California one

not be unloaded. For the whitebox with conspicuous greenle• ering on the side contains

by the Logistic Initiative Hamburg (LIHH). „We see responsibility and sustainability not asa short-lived fashion trend, but
as a key to long-term successand are particularly pleased toreceive this award in and fromour home city“, says Rolf Habben Jansen, Hapag-Lloyd CEO.
Supplying electricity fromo• -ship sources to power onboard facilities whilst in port isgaining importance as a meansof protecting the populationand environment from ship

for Investments” has been set up as contact
and coordination point for enquiries.
Indonesia, with 17,500 islands and morethan 250 million inhabitants, is the world’s
largest island state and fourth largest nation by population. Economically it ranks
16th worldwide. Analysts see Indonesia,
as part of the rapidly growing Southeast
Asia region, amongst the fastest growing
markets with the potential to move up torank 7 amongst the global players by 2030.
One factor for Indonesia’s climb into the

be its growing class of a• uent consumers,
whose number is forecast to jump from45 million now to 135 million by 2030.

Progress with LNG projects
96 per cent expect a positive environmental impact
One of the studies presented at the IAPH
Conference reveals that the maritime industry sees prospects for a reduced carbon footprint and lower operating costsin the medium term through use of LNG
as a marine fuel.

Liqui• ed Natural Gas (LNG) as a fuel topower ships could reduce environmental
pollution caused by shipping – and in themedium term also cut operating costs. In
the short term, i.e. in the next 1-2 years,
high initial investment is preventing the
big breakthrough for LNG. • at is the result of a study by the EU initiative LNG for
Shipping presented yesterday at the IAPH
Conference.

•e consultant company PwC and theclassi• cation agency DNV/GL interviewed 53 experts on behalf of the EU
Commission on the pros and cons of LNG
in the maritime economy. 96 per cent ofrespondents consider positive environmental aspects likely or highly likely, stated PwC manager Axel von Perfall. • isis due to lower particle emissions, fewer
greenhouse gases and quieter ships.
Moreover, 76 per cent see a possibility for• nancial bene• ts in the form of reduced
fuel costs in relation to other ships’ fuels
and lower maintenance and repair expenditure. Energy suppliers would like tobe given a business opportunity throughcreation of an LNG infrastructure, but the

main obstacle to this at the moment, according to the 96 per cent, is the uncertain• nancial situation. Both ship and infrastructure operators are currently unsure
if and when investment in machinery andthe appropriate facilities would be worthwhile. • e second obstacle relates to theconfusing situation regarding standards
and regulations.
Nevertheless, successful pilot projects doexist. • ese are o• en sponsored by the EUor other institutions. Günter Eiermann
from LNG supplier Bomin Linde pointed
out that it has established an LNG fuelling service for ships in Stockholm andthat in the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda aship used to bunker and transport LNG

just commenced operations between Cuxhaven and Helgoland. Hamburg too canboast its own LNG project: In summer the

TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION

More benefits
for clean air
Port experts appeal for cooperation

A surprise had already been
anticipated: In an electronic
flash survey among the participants of the World Ports
Conference, nearly 88 per centfavoured more regulation andlegislation to protect the environment in ports. This waspreceded by statements fromChristine Loh, Under Secretary
for the Environment of theHong Kong Special Administrative Region Government,
Gene Seroka, Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles,
Johan Röslin, CEO of Copenhagen Malmö Port and Alexander Porschke, President of
Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU).

In the subsequent panel discussion on “Clean Air in Ports- Corporate Responsibility

to the Business Challenge” aconsensus among the four participants was quickly formed:
More legislation - more communication - more cooperationof ports wolrdwide.
China and Hong Kong in particular are looking to ports in
California and Europe for information on their experienceswith enviromental technologies. “• ese port locations are
the world leaders with regard
to enviromental and sustainability strategies,” Christine
Loh said. “We are trying to get
the appropriate impetus for our
ports out of these examples.”Loh announced that China
will implement SECAs within the next • ve years. She appealed for international experiences to be shared in a muchstronger way.

Johan Röstin, Christine Loh, Alexander Porschke and Gene Seroka•

e key issue in her point ofview is how port authorities
and terminal operators may bemade familiar with environmental issues. For that reason
the currently rather technicaldialogue has to focus more on
the environmental and social
aspects of port-cooperation,
supply chains and the needs of
local residents.
Alexander Porschke agreed:“Although we are the most important environmental NGO
in Hamburg, we are precisely
only one voice among manyothers here to discuss the future of the port.” Environmen-

tal organizations and NGOs
also are in favour of economic
success for the port, but thisshould align with environmental requirements.
“In order to work on enviromental solutions, people • rst
have to understand the complexity of supply chains,” Gene
Seroka commented. He campaigned for a “B2E strategy” Business-to-Employees: “Onein every twelve jobs in Los Angeles is se• led in the port. • emeasures we implement there
for clean water and clean air
have a direct e• ect on the entire city.

Lars Reger, Chief Technical O• cer ofthe Automotive division at NXP, agreed
when asked for his perspective by DVV

The importance of law for trade and ports
International standards for passenger ships need to be harmonizedApproximately 90 per centof world trade is handled bymaritime shipping. In orderto regulate the manifold interests of states regarding
the use of the high seas andcoastal territorial waters theLaw of the Seas came into being. In spite of numerous international agreements there
are still specific aspects thatremain unresolved.

How diverse and complex theseare became apparent in thepanel discussion on the subject“Ports and Global Trade - Legal
Trends and Challenges” thattook place on • ursday morning in the CCH.

passenger ships and asked what
the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is seeking
to implement. Michael Shewchuk, Legal O• cer at the Unit-

to reduce speci• c CO2 emissions per container by 30 per
cent by the year 2020. Already,far before this self-imposed
deadline is reached, it is close toachieving this target. By the endof 2014 the HHLA had reduced
emissions by 25.5 per cent.
• e HHLA‘s business model,
for that ma• er, is thoroughly
ecological. With the intermodal subsidiaries Metrans andPolzug, as well as its own • eetof trucks, the HHLA o• ers
customers a highly e• cienttransport chain between seaport and European hinterland.
• is is not only • nanciallya• ractive, but also makes ecological sense, since large ships

and freight trains are by far
the most environment-friendlymeans of transport for goods
from places such as East Asia.
• e HHLA is improving its
carbon footprint through numerous measures, one in particular being the switch fromdiesel to electricity and the useof electricity from renewablesources. An example is provided by the block storage cranes
at the Burchardkai Container
Terminal (CTB): Where several years ago transport was
performed exclusively by diesel
powered van carriers, now 24
electric cranes handle container placement and removal on apart area of the terminal. • iselectri• cation reduces levelsof CO2 and other pollutants
like sulphur, nitrogen and • nedust particles, since the cranes
at CTB and the AltenwerderContainer Terminal (CTA) are
powered exclusively by green
electricity. • e same goes forthe large container bridges at
CTA, each of which moves 1.8
million tons of cargo a year.
A switch in energy focus is also
taking place in the port. Devel-

opment of the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) from diesel
hydraulic to electro-powered
container transporter represents a milestone here. Today,
ten of the total 86 AGVs alreadyrun on green electricity fromwind or solar energy, a cleanachievement to be sure, theseneeding only 15 kilowa• s ofenergy per operating hour. In
comparison, their predecessors
burned • ve times this amount.
To date the vehicles haveclocked up more than 700 000
emission-free kilometres andeven drive autonomously for aba• ery change, the clever thing
being that they do so whengreen electricity hits peak supply in the grid. • is is the core of
the so-called ‚BESIC‘ program(‚ba• ery driven heavy duty vehicles in intelligent container
terminal operations‘) promoted by the Federal Ministry for
Economy and Energy.
Van carriers (VC) too are becoming greener. • e greenest
HHLA-VCs emit 94 per centless nitrogen oxide and 95 percent fewer • ne dust particles
than their predecessors. How-ever, not only goods transporters to the port terminals areelectrically driven. More andmore vehicles moving HHLA
employees around the terminals
are powered by electricity. At
the Tollerort Container Terminal (C• ) more than 60 per centof passenger journeys are accomplished by electro-powered
Renault Kangoos. HHLA‘s car
pool consists of 64 electric cars
– the biggest • eet of electric cars
operated by any European port.
Waste disposal is a further
component of environmental protection. At CTB a newwaste water treatment plant
halves hazardous waste output
by separating oil and other liquids from water used for cleaning van carriers. • is measure
not only reduces pollutants but
saves up to 90 per cent fresh
water in the cleaning process,.
Light emissions can also be a
disturbance when the port is located near to the inner city, particularly when it operates roundthe clock. In the past, when thesites at Burchardkai and Altenwerder were completely • oodlit
as a means to guarantee workers‘ safety, today large areas remain dark. “Our block storage
cranes work fully automaticallyand need no light”, says, HHLA
sustainability commissioner
Jan Hendrik Pietsch. • e lights
can remain switched o• when
no people are at work. • is isenabled by LED spotlights thatcan be switched on and o• fasterthan normal lights. • e conversion not only pleases the local
population, but is part of the
HHLA‘s sustainability strategy,a policy that pays substantial
dividends. At the CTA alone‘on‘ time has been reduced by 88
per cent. “Earlier a lamp would
be switched on for an averageof twelve hours a day, now it is
only 42 minutes”, states Pietsch.
• at creates enormous savingsof over 90 per cent in electricity
consumption for lighting CTA
block storage. For the two terminals this amounts to electricity savings su• cient to power
500 homes in a year.

On a Voyage of Discovery
in the Port of Hamburg
Hamburg Port Authority presents smartPORT projects in practice

From collecting information to displaying itThe bus tour will head for selected pilot projects in the port, explaining
how these • t in with the smartPORT
strategy. Participants will experience at• rst hand how tra• c and infrastructure
data are collected and evaluated. One ofthe projects is an innovative intelligent
parking solution that guarantees optimal
utilisation of existing and new parking lots
for trucks in the port. A further project
showcased by the Hamburg Port Authority is the “smartROAD”, which is currently
being tested on a stretch to assess what canbe achieved through rigorous implementa-

tra• c • ows on all strategic cross sectionsin the port’s road network, with detectors
precisely recording the current tra• c situation in each direction, the volume of vehicle
emissions and wind direction. In a further
step an intelligent light control system will
be introduced. Currently DIVA signboards(electronic variable message signs) display tra• c information to drivers of heavy
goods vehicles in real time, allowing themto take alternative routes in response totra• c conditions.

The last conference day again offers a full and interesting agenda. After a week of top talks, intensive discussions
and exclusive evening events the sightseeing tours around the Port of Hamburg guarantee an impressive finale.
Conference guests have a choice of three different theme tours on which they can learn about the development ofGermany’s largest universal port on its way to becoming a smartPORT. The tours will visit projects and terminals bothon land and water, all finishing by calling in at “Duckdalben”, Hamburg’s international seamen’s club.

smartPORT Energy and Vessel
Traffic Service (VTS) CentreGuests on the second sightseeing
tour get to know Hamburg from thewater. From the vantage point of atypical River Elbe barge ferry the journeytraverses the port to the Vessel Tra• c Service Centre. On the way passengers are told
about the smartPORT energy initiative andhow this is realised in Hamburg. • e outstanding project to meet city climate goals
will provide shore power for cruise ships,
the new Altona power plant being unique inEurope in its dimension. • e boat will thenturn to pass a terminal that deploys a large• eet of electric cars, the power for which is
generated by a solar plant installed on theroof of the adjacent building. Behind the
Köhlbrand Bridge lies Altenwerder Container Terminal, one of the most modern
in the world and operator of a • eet of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which a• ersuccessful • eld trials are now also ba• ery
driven. Wind power is a further source of

low-cost green energy in the port. Terminal
operator Eurogate was the • rst company inthe port to commission its own wind powered generator in 2013. Continuing its journey, the boat’s next stop is the VTS Centre,
the Port of Hamburg’s new, ultra-modern
heart of navigation. • e building itself is aprime example of energy e• ciency. • e facility was reconstructed from January 2012
to June 2014 and the very latest state-of-theart technology installed.

Shore Power for Cruise Ships

T

he third tour takes a good look at
the way the port accommodates
cruise ships and alternative concepts for supplying energy. This year
Hamburg expects 160 visits from cruise
ships. Two innovative projects for providing shore power to cruise ships will
be presented, commencing with the
Altona Cruise Ship Terminal, Europe’s
first onshore power supply for cruise
ships at berth. Completion of the facility, which has an output of 12 megavolt

ampere, is scheduled for summer 2015.
The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg has invested 11 million euro in
the project, 3.55 million of which were
contributed by the European Union under the TEN-T programme. A frequency
convertor is necessary to convert electricity from the 50 Hz from the grid tothe 60 Hz on board ships. The combination of size and output makes the shore
power facility in Altona unique in theworld. Power is supplied to ships via af lexible, automatic cable management
system specifically developed for thisstation.
• e second external power project for
cruise ships in the Port of Hamburg is located at the HafenCity cruise terminal. Here,the HPA has installed the landside infrastructure to have power supplied to vessels
via an LNG hybrid barge, which generates
electricity at up to 8 megavolt ampere by
motors powered by LNG. It is the • rst power barge of its kind in the world.
