Green Transition in Logistics
The Green Transition of Logistics is a research area that cuts across the entire Logistics and Seafaring focus area. After all, the green transition is a very important megatrend aimed at reducing global warming.
We are researching and developing solutions that will reduce the environmental impact of the various modes of transportation.
The development of environmentally friendlier fuels
The development of the alternative fuel revolution applies to all forms of transport (road, sea, rail and air transport). Less environmentally burdening fuel alternatives allow for more environmentally friendly transport. The alternative fuels affects not only modes of transport but also infrastructure and related decisions.
Sustainable port logistics
Ports are Finland’s most significant enablers of foreign trade. Finland’s logistical performance and competitiveness consists of seamless national and international supply chains, which are supported by smooth data transfer and electronic operating methods.
Logistics operations will inevitably become even more digitalized in the future, and environmental and climate change issues will significantly affect ports and the entire logistics industry. This creates new needs for the sector and creates opportunities at the same.
The development of transport systems
The focus of international transport systems cooperation is often the safety and security taking into account all the transport modes. This is where the expertise of Kymenlaakso operators plays a significant role. Improving traffic safety, early detection of risks and more effective prevention of accidents create demand for smart traffic innovations.
In the transport system work, regionally significant development measures are discussed, focusing both on Kymenlaakso’s external national and international connections and the development of the province’s internal transport system.
Modelling and simulating of logistics chains
We analyze and optimize the efficiency of logistics processes. Modeling and simulation can be used to study the effects of different scenarios on the transport system.
