Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI), Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), and HPC Hamburg Port Consulting (HPC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the IAPH World Port Conference in Hamburg.
The MoU expresses a shared intent of addressing challenges in modern port operations, including digitalisation, optimising waterborne transport infrastructure, and enhancing overall port efficiency. Through the MOU, the companies said they have expressed their intent to promote best practices by regularly exchanging knowledge, expertise and best practice solutions.
Lennart Kinau, HPA Board Member, said: "As global trade evolves, ports must adapt with intelligent, data-driven systems. This partnership strengthens our position at the forefront of digital transformation, allowing us both to enhance efficiency and governance in port management as well as to achieve new levels of sustainability along critical trade routes like the East-West corridor."
Nils Kemme, CEO of HPC, said: "HPC has successfully delivered transformative port projects in over 130 countries for nearly half a century. This MOU builds on that legacy by focusing on the next generation of port solutions—automated systems, and smart digital platforms that redefine how ports operate and minimize environmental impact. We are excited to collaborate with MAWANI and HPA to push the boundaries of what modern and sustainable ports can achieve."
