Abstract
The Paper presents the results of the proof of concept (PoC) developed in the scope of the iTerminals 4.0 Project, to achieve a real-time calculation of the carbon footprint generated in port container terminals. iTerminals 4.0 is an innovation project co-funded by the Connecting Europe Facility Program (CEF) of the European Commission, with the objective of deploying and implementing the necessary concepts, tools, and systems to enable digital transformation of the port container industry, thus achieving the paradigm of ‘container terminal 4.0’ based on the integration of Industry 4.0 principles. The iTerminals 4.0 project comprises a study with pilot deployments in real operations at European port-container terminals, focused on digitization of port operations and adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies within the container-handling sector. A wide range of transversal benefits is expected from the digital transformation of container port operations, like operational efficiency increase, safety and (cyber) security improvement, costs reduction and carbon footprint decrease, to name only a few.
