Current Projects at the Institute of Maritime Logistics
The Institute of Maritime Logistics is currently working on the following research projects of different funding agencies:
CritSupPort - Management of critical supply chains with restricted port operations - system analysis of the “port hub”
The goal of the CritSupPort research project is to develop cross-sectoral measures to strengthen Germany's supply security in the event of restricted port operations. The TUHH sub-project addresses the central role of ports as logistics hubs and critical nodes in freight transport. [more]
DYNAPORT – Dynamic navigation and port call optimisation in real time
The aim of DYNAPORT is to develop new optimisation and coordination tools for ports and ships that reduce the fuel consumption of ships by at least 10% and increase the efficiency of ports to the same extent. Performance indicators (KPIs) are being developed to quantify and measure these savings. [more]
FIS V - Research Information System V (Forschungs-Informations-System V)
The Research Information System (FIS) is a scientifically based information portal on the topics of transport, mobility and urban development, available at www.forschungsinformationssystem.de. The MLS provides technical and editorial support for 12 knowledge maps and their approximately 305 synthesis reports in the field of "freight transport and logistics, maritime transport and inland navigation".

InteGreatDrones - Automated drone system for targeted data collection and utilisation in multi-purpose and inland terminals
As part of the InteGreatDrones project, we are investigating the extent to which autonomous drone systems can be integrated into inland ports in order to fully monitor the activities and processes of the terminals. On the one hand, the flying sensor network should avoid stationary and expensive sensor infrastructures and, on the other hand, optimise terminal operations. [more]
