Making sure global trade keeps rolling on
As infrastructure critical for the movement of goods around the world, ensuring ports can continue to operate is a vital requirement for global trade.
To ensure they remain operational, an asset management plan that is able to assess where issues might occur and take action to prevent them from happening is required.
But as global trade changes, ports need to adapt. Updating a port system while it continues to be operational requires a tremendous amount of planning, expertise and experience.
At Alan Wood & Partners, our specialist engineers have significant experience in managing assets at the UK’s busiest port complex – the Humber – as well as many other ports around the UK. We have provided expert input into port asset management plans and have guided operators through major infrastructure changes to accommodate new and different cargoes, while minimising disruption to other port users.
