19-20 November 2019 | Fira Barcelona Gran Via | Smart City Expo World Congress
Ports are having to react quickly to changes in the shipping supply chain. With lots of mergers and acquisitions in the container industry, and increased growth in the cruise sector, there is steep competition to attract vessels, particularly on popular trade and tourist routes.
In the current climate ports are in an arms race to optimise their offering, increase the number of vessels they can turn around through transparent, efficient systems, and provide facilities for mega ships.
This year Smart Ports Summit Barcelona will be launching at the Smart City World Expo between 19-20 November 2019. Run in collaboration with the Port of Barcelona, the conference will be a meeting point for the entire supply chain to address topics around optimisation of operations and long-term integration of technologies enhancing existing processes and networks.

Latest News & Events
Longitude, an LOC Group Company, announce on 22 January that it has been awarded the contract for the Trinity House Vessel Replacement Project Technical Specialist.
This agreement will, it is understood, see Longitude work on the requirements definition and tender specification for the Trinity House new aids to navigation service vessel. Support will then continue through the procurement and build phases of the contract, with the end goal of delivering a vessel to replace THV Patricia commissioned in 1982.
Longitude will provide a conceptual design of the vessel to Trinity House, to facilitate a thorough analysis of the vessel’s requirements, and look into incorporating new technologies, including hybrid systems. Once the design phase is complete, Longitude will work alongside the chosen shipyard to ensure that the design and build phases are successfully executed and that the end product is in accordance with Trinity House requirements.
Work is well advanced with our Congress two months away.
