SMART SOLUTIONS
Our solutions enable customers to strengthen their competitive edge, adapt to emerging technologies and accelerate sustainable growth — creating resilient infrastructure that meets the needs of today and tomorrow.
We're transforming the future of maritime infrastructure to unlock new value and drive sustainable growth. Our innovative Smart Hubs empower ports and maritime facilities to expand efficiently, adding new revenue streams and future-proofing their assets.
Designed to help ports grow their market presence and meet evolving demands, our modular, flexible platforms allow customers to scale at pace while reducing environmental impact.
SMART HUBS
Smart Hubs are our cutting-edge floating infrastructure solutions that enable ports, harbors, and cities to achieve their financial, operational and sustainability goals. Unlike traditional floating infrastructure, commonly known as ‘pontoons and barges,’ Smart Hubs are agile, flexible, scalable and customisable - enabling modernisation of port and urban infrastructure, tailored to meet specific client needs.
The plug-and-play solution is uniquely versatile - giving the benefits of 80% standardised design for speed and scalability and 20% customisable features for specific industry requirements.
Engineered with a blend of proven and advanced technologies, Smart Hubs facilitate flexible infrastructure solutions for needs such as clean energy integration, expansion and modernisation of infrastructure. Our solutions meet stringent safety standards, ensuring resilience in a changing global landscape.
As industries work towards 2050 targets, expanding ports and harbours with traditional infrastructure can be costly, time-consuming, and environmentally detrimental. In contrast, Smart Hubs deliver affordable, future-proof solutions that rapidly adapt to new technologies, minimising disruption to operations while enhancing sustainability and decarbonisation efforts
