Container Supply Chain Programme 'Business Intelligence Day' Tuesday 18th October / 14:00 - 15:30 GMT-5
Looking to enhance their competitiveness, several ports in the region are looking to become hubs, yet can all ports be hubs? And, more importantly, is it worth? What makes a hub and what makes a gateway port? The apparent trend in production, from globalized to regionalized supply chains, require a closer look to the dynamics of the maritime & logistics sector in the Americas to understand the synergies between industry players, and the role they play in maritime trade, at intraregional, interregional, and global level. Furthermore, with its extension and geographic complexity, what characteristics and interoperability standards are to be expected for each port category?
