Kwaport
Developments like Kwaport, a System for Assessment and Control of Safety in Maritime Access and Operation in Port Berths, aimed at improving decision making in the approach and/or stay of a vessel in port, drive Smart Ports, or ports of the future.
This system is intended for Port Authorities, Maritime Authorities, Terminal Operators, Pilot Corporations, Shipping Companies, among others. It is a fundamental tool for optimizing vessel operations, determining access limit conditions, increasing port capacity, establishing requirements for tugboats and other navigational aids, and optimizing the development of new infrastructure.
This system is based on a methodology of safety assessment and control, both for maritime approach to a berth and the stay and operation of the vessels on the quays. Furthermore, it provides for the definition of strategies and means of response in emergency situations related to the operation of the vessels, including tug assistance or a response to spills.
In this way the number of accidents, and their seriousness, can be reduced, above all when dealing with vessels with products that may damage the environment. On the other hand, fuel consumption and emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx) can be reduced as maritime operations are optimised.
