Description
Ports as transport nodes and as locations for logistics, manufacturing and waste operation activities will be affected by the transition towards Circular Economy (CE). Ports handle huge volumes of non-renewable primary resources and waste. The trend towards CE will likely lead to a decline in these volumes [5]. The majority of non-fossil imports and exports furthermore consist of products in linear supply chains, and these flows will be impacted as well, especially when supply chains move from current globalized and linear structures to more localized and circular ones. The CE transition also offers an opportunity for ports to diversify into CE activities as alternative lines of business.
The project DiCiMa - Digitalisation and Circularity for Maritime as-built information aims to develop a Solution-as-a-Service, to optimize the data creation, data interoperability and data reuse based on a circular structure. The Solution is particularly focused on the domains of waste and cargo data management at maritime ports, where there is a shared large economic and environmental impact.
The project will involve Geomodel – 3D Modelling Studio, a company that develops products and solutions for the three-dimensional scanning of the physical environment, intelligent modelling, and spatial data analysis. Also, LNEC will be involved. The knowledge of LNEC researchers will give support to the main tasks in the scope of the project, related with the characterization, validation and development of the conditions to promote the accreditation of the measurement method in its most relevant parts, namely, physical, computational and operational.
