Ports & Waterways team

A major challenge in the field of Port and Waterway engineering is the timely adaptation of water transport networks, and their associated infrastructure, to ever-changing external circumstances, such as increasing vessel sizes, developments in trade, political instability and climate change. Our Ports & Waterways team has been targeting these challenges by focusing on sustainability, smart port maintenance dredging, energy transition, nautical safety, port infrastructure, autonomous shipping and digitalization.
