The number of hours that delayed or stranded freight remains at the port of Bremerhaven can be significantly decreased by improving logistics, according to a scholarly analysis of a pilot operation at a shipping terminal in Copenhagen.Despite the fact that the program started in June, the scholarly paper claims that the largest barrier to implementing the significant adjustments the Danish port has to make is the logistics issue brought on by delayed products.According to Jorgen Liebenwaldt of the Department of Transportation Economics at the Danish Technical University in Copenhagen, "we are convinced that this is the right time to test new transport planning tools in a realistic, controlled environment and now is the time to prove that these new logistics tools work."
A number of businesses worked with logistics specialists from the Danish Transport Agency and the universities of Aalborg and Copenhagen to develop the new logistical solutions.
