Together, we explore how MEDports are building bridges between European, North African, and Middle Eastern port communities to share knowledge, tackle common challenges, and accelerate innovation. The conversation covers the importance of digitization, decarbonization, AI, and energy transition, as well as the need for more practical policymaking and stronger investment in people. Pino also shares his perspective on why ports should be seen not only as logistics hubs, but as engines for innovation, jobs, and sustainable development. This episode offers a valuable MEDports perspective on the future of collaboration in maritime.

    Ben van Scherpenzeel, ITPCO Chairman & Andreas van der Wurff, ITPCO & APM Terminals Subject matter expert | Port call optimization: setting the standard

    All episodes are available on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠teqplay.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with subtitle included. --- In this episode of the Teqplay Vodcast, we sit down with Ben van Scherpenzeel (Chairman of the International Task Force Port Call Optimization, ITPCO) and Andreas van der Wurff (ITPCO & APM Terminals subject matter expert) to discuss how global standards are driving change in maritime port operations. The conversation dives into the origins of ITPCO and the need for harmonized definitions and data exchange across ports worldwide. Ben and Andreas explain why something as fundamental as agreeing on terminals, berths, and arrival/departure times is essential to improve safety, reduce administrative burden, and enable seamless berth-to-berth navigation. We also explore the broader impact of standardization on operational efficiency, fuel savings, and emissions reduction, and why collaboration between ports, terminals, shipping lines, and international bodies like IMO and IHO is key to making just-in-time port calls a reality.

Rob explains why port call optimization delivers outsized impact, where small time savings lead to major cost and CO2 reductions. The conversation covers the shift from cost-driven efficiency to sustainability-focused optimization, the realities behind just-in-time sailing, and why reliable departure times are critical to making JIT work. We also discuss collaboration between ports, terminals, service providers, and shipping lines, the role of digitization and standards, and what successful optimization projects have in common. The episode closes with a look ahead at how port call optimization is expected to expand beyond container ports into bulk operations.
