Hoist is proud to announce that it will launch "Dockside Lift & Move" in Houston, Texas from September 28th to 30th to complement Breakbulk Americas.
According to a Deloitte report entitled "Global Port Trends in 2030", the traditional port world is changing. Demographics, technology and sustainability drivers are affecting daily operations and shaping several important trends, such as efforts to reduce carbon footprint and Improve the environmental performance of the port and maritime sector. As a port authority, port operator, policy maker or organization active in the port value chain, it is important to understand what changes are most likely to occur and what the results are.
Opportunities in the shipping and port industries play an indispensable role in maintaining the development of the world economy, because the lifting and loading equipment that supports them play a vital role. Dockside’s editorial team brings decades of experience in the construction and industrial crane fields to the publication, and has a true understanding of the industry, major players, and issues affecting the industry.

For example; Ports of Antwerp and Amsterdam are actively investing in hydrogen-related infrastructure to green the current ecosystem. Multiple fossil fuel terminals in inland and ports are seeking funding and strategies for green projects such as HVO plants, hydrogen and ammonia conversion, and waste-to-chemical conversion.
"In the September issue of Hoist magazine, we will run an inbound supplement provided by Dockside Lift & Move specifically for the'shipping and port' industry. This cooperation marks the beginning of our reinvestment to cover this field more deeply," Progressive Media According to Joe Woolerton, International Sales Director.
Due to the lack of space in the existing urban port structure, the need to increase productivity in the area has increased. Innovation and automation help to increase efficiency, that is, by increasing berths and terminal occupancy rates. Therefore, it is expected that technological development will be increasingly used to deal with the challenge of space scarcity.
Sometimes, the shortage of space requires the port to relocate its activities from its historical center to a location further away from the city. In addition, due to technological development (containerization), some traditional small terminals that are usually located near or even in the city (center) have lost their value as a traditional port terminal. Both of these developments provide opportunities to develop land that has historically had marine land uses into a more mixed type of land use.
It is expected that waterfront redevelopment will be increasingly used to create an ecosystem that combines social and economic aspects, which will create regional added value and employment opportunities, benefiting cities and ports.
In addition, as we know today, trade routes, the competitive position of stakeholders, ecosystems and distribution of goods are expected to be different. Although the exact future of the global port and shipping industry is still uncertain, industry stakeholders must consider these trends and prepare appropriate policies and strategies.
At Dockside Lift & Move, we will cover the core issues of the industry; major global projects, what and why terminals are investing in, how manufacturers can respond to automation, and the port's sustainability measures to address the pressure of noise and air pollution.
Some of the ports we will cover include the automation of global terminals, from Hamburg-Le Havre to major hubs in the Middle East, from large terminals in China to the IoT pilot in South Africa, Antwerp's 5g network, Rotterdam's smart port platform, unique in Vancouver Tracking and tracing and so on. In addition, infrastructure investments related to local niches such as offshore decommissioning (North Sea), renewable energy (Europe and the UK) or certain types of locally produced goods (dry bulk market) are becoming more common.
