The 2020 Smart Port Challenge is a virtual competition open to anyone with innovative concepts that will revolutionise the current state of Morocco’s port functionality.
All solutions proposed must meet the criteria set by the ANP in common agreement with all the players and stakeholders in the port innovation process.
CHALLENGES
DRONE CHALLENGE
ATOMIZATION CHALLENGE
WEATHER & ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE
automatize port access, image recognition, streamline the processes.
Machine Learning/Analysis Tech - Drones, pictures and analytics and estimated traffic, weight of goods, security etc. AI to analyse and recommend and process, image recognition to find results.
Predictive Tech – anticipate the size of the waves, and weather which impacts their costs. Anticipate the port traffic, based on their data and port manifests that show all the products going in and out daily and determine what will be necessary for the future.
Artificial intelligence, BlockChain, Data analytics and Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), Drones, Immersion technologies (VR & AR) should all be considered when developing your concept.
How can the use of drone technology improve the accuracy of Draft Survey results?
Mooring of ships during the surf; How to keep ships at docks during the backwash to ensure port operations?
How to improve the availability and quality of pipeline unloading data?
How to control the quantities of goods to be loaded on trucks in a single loading and weighing operation?
How to carry out the sampling operation required by the control bodies quickly?
How to master the monitoring and trading of goods so as to avoid false declarations of dangerous goods and know the exact position of these goods in the port area at all times?
How can the use of drone technology improve port safety and security?
How to complement the human presence and video surveillance with drone technology to allow surveillance of the harbour?
CHALLENGES
WEATHER & ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE
Consider:
How to meet the growing demand for electrical energy at competitive costs?
How to reduce CO2 emissions and the environmental footprint?
What are the incentives that ANP can introduce to encourage port operators to optimize their energy bills?
What warning system can be put in place to measure the safety of air, water and sediment in ports?
How to respond to a marine oil pollution emergency? How to predict the behaviour and the propagation of oil pollution slicks?
How to meet the growing demand for electrical energy at competitive costs?
How to reduce CO2 emissions and the environmental footprint?
CHALLENGES
ATOMIZATION CHALLENGE
Consider:
Automated port access management, How to streamline access for people and goods to ports?
How to use port Big Data to predict port traffic over time and by the business sector in order to improve port performance?
How to unify forecasts and improve port planning and port performance?
How to accelerate the adoption of electronic payment? and what are the expected gains?
Offer practical solutions to reduce the number of overdue containers and reduce backlogged goods/containers
How to estimate the economic value of the available port data?
What information could be useful to an economic operator?
How to improve the availability and quality of port information?
How to achieve 100% dematerialization of the vessel certificate control process?
How to carry out Draft Surveys in the harbour while respecting the standards in force?
What warning system can be put in place for the systematic initiation of maintenance dredging works?
