Ports & river logistics
As Port development and integration into larger logistics chains are becoming increasingly relevant due to economic and sustainability goals, many ports are challenged by a number of physical (marine and inland) and socioeconomic constraints. In addition to their fundamental natural value, rivers support socioeconomic activities and transportation, benefiting from integrated solutions and management. Such environments need multidisciplinary approaches and long-term planning. We offer science and nature-based solutions in the context of ports and river logistics and are able to bring ecosystem services into the decision-making.
