PCO Network Meeting 2026

From 7 to 9 September 2026, around 70 international participants came together in Bremerhaven for the 3rd PCO Network Meeting.

Our colleagues Marvin Kastner and João Pedro Oberhauser Tavares Braga attended the meeting and contributed with insights from the final stages of the DYNAPORT project. The Blueprint for integrated port coordination, technical standards and demonstrators, as well as the dissemination of our results was on the menu for us this time.

Over three days, participants exchanged experiences and discussed the practical implementation of Port Call Optimization. Topics included technical standards, data infrastructure, testbeds, data quality and opportunities for future collaboration. The discussions highlighted the importance of cooperation between port call stakeholders and harmonized approaches to digital information exchange.

With DYNAPORT project nearing completion, we remain open to future opportunities for research and collaboration in this field.
