Forecasts and potentials - ports, shipping, hinterland

The port as an intermodal hub - the core of logistical value creation

Current Publications

Cyber-Security in the maritime Supply Chain

The final brochure on the EU project MITIGATE has been published. The aim of the research project was to develop a risk management system for the IT infrastructure of the maritime transport chain in order to prevent damage caused by malware or cyber attacks. Read more about the software solution in the Project Results.
