Ports are the gateways to global trade, yet many face challenges in managing growing shipping volumes, accommodating larger vessels and complying with stricter environmental regulations. Meanwhile, port and maritime safety authorities must ensure personnel safety in all conditions, under constant time pressure.
Founded 60 years ago through solving a complex harbour development project in Denmark, DHI’s impact now spans over 600 harbours, ports and terminals in 100 countries. We assist port authorities and operators in adapting to larger ships, while working with shipping companies to reduce fuel costs and minimise biofouling.
Our solutions include:
Port operations and management – Leveraging technology to support clients in achieving safe and efficient port operations and making environmentally conscious decisions
Ballast water testing – Offering biological performance evaluation of ballast water management systems according to international standards. Our test facilities provide opportunities for type-approval testing and verification of biological performance in fresh, brackish and high saline waters.
Current data and biofouling predictions – Optimising route planning to reduce fuel consumption and operational costs. By integrating hourly global current data with biofouling predictions on vessel hulls, shipping companies can predict biofouling, enhancing operational efficiency.
