Resilient supply chains are defined by their ability to endure and recover — they need to be able to reduce most disruptions, limit the brunt of the ones that do occur, and ultimately forecast, foresee and respond quickly to both risks and opportunities. Disruptions can, and have, threatened multiple areas of the supply chain, especially during the pandemic; however, companies with a higher level of resiliency tend to not only defend and maintain their businesses during these times, but also profit from the opportunities that emerge once the crisis has subsided. AD Ports Group believes that companies with resilient supply chains position themselves for greater success based on their risk appetite, risk management culture, technology investments, willingness to use and act on data, and acceptance of views of external experts. AD Ports’ strategic location, infrastructure and multimodal connectivity make it an ideal destination for companies’ nearshoring and multishoring needs.

This hour-long webcast, the second of a two-part series, will explore the recent innovation and developments that have allowed AD Ports Group to extend its global reach and to become one of the premier ports of the Middle East and the world.

ChatGPT was the technology star of the first half of 2023 across virtually every industry and social channel. Its emergence seemed to herald a new era in the course of human interaction with software. But as the novelty of a quite generic language model that didn’t have specific logistics domain expertise started to wane, so has the idea that chatGPT — or more broadly, generative AI — will immediately transform supply chains. What it did do was shine a light on what exactly artificial intelligence is, and could be, because generative AI is one small branch of a much larger AI tree. In reality, AI already permeates much of the technology landscape, but where it holds real promise beyond chatbots and language assistance is in true supply chain optimization.

This webcast will explore the inroads AI has already made — often imperceptibly — in logistics and transportation, and what still must happen for it to make a more transformative impact.

China is the main trading partner of Europe’s largest port hubs, but do growing geopolitical issues threaten this relationship? That could be a problem with China having stakes in 31 European ports and owning one (Piraeus) outright, according to Alphaliner. And do the weakening economies on both side of the Asia-Europe trade lane raise any concerns that too many European eggs are in the China trade basket? Europe's top three ports all recorded year- over-year declines in first half volume, with declining demand for Asian imports a big reason. Another issue European ports face is decarbonization. There is a growing sense that the only way greenhouse gas targets will be met is if ports and shipping are put on a mandatory path to zero emissions by 2040. On top of cutting emissions from operations, the ports are having to invest in bunkering of alternative fuels without any definite knowledge of what those fuels may be. Green corridors are the way forward and Singapore and Rotterdam are making headway in this development. Then there is the trend of carriers making strategic investment in ports that have key positions in their networks. Carriers already have stakes in many terminals across Europe’s largest port gateways, with MSC in early September agreeing to a deal with the city of Hamburg to take over a 49% stake in HHLA, Hamburg’s leading terminal operator. In terms of innovation/digitalization, accurate and real-time ship arrival data is key to ensuring efficient port calls and onward shipment of containers, and the main European ports are all engaged in improving their capabilities in this area.

This webcast, will touch on these subjects, and more, in the rapidly evolving European port landscape.
