From a ship that has been designed to tell you what maintenance it needs and when, to an intelligent journey planner for global goods transport. The three universities in Zuid-Holland are abuzz with AI research in the field of ports and maritime. "The big challenges facing ports are accessibility, sustainability and finding the right employees," says Rudy Negenborn, Professor of Multi-Machine Operations & Logistics in Delft. "In a busy port, you have to optimise your planning to avoid delays, congestion and unnecessary emissions. This doesn't just require solutions to technical challenges: a solution can only be implemented if an organisation wants and has the right infrastructure for this."
