Sustainability Projects

3D data acquisition

Hybrid 3D as-built data acquisition and model-based inspection of hydraulic transportation structures for sustainable infrastructure lifecycle management.

Autonomous Dredging

AMISIA - Advanced Port Maintenance: Intelligent, Sustainable, Innovative and Automated Dredging

Development of an automated dredging concept to ensure the water depths in the Port of Emden in a more economical, productive and ecological way in the long term.

BIM - Building Information Modeling

BIM creates digital models of construction projects, including all building information relevant to planning and implementation. NPorts was the first company in German port construction to use this method.

Protect nature and secure safety with innovative lighting solutions

Reduce light pollution through smart lighting solutions and increase biodiversity and ecological connectivity in the North Sea region.

Port Energy Management Dashboard

Digital control center for the analysis and control of energy flows in ports

Development of innovative offshore logistics to adapt to the requirements of the Esbjerg Declaration for the transformation of the North Sea into Europe's green power plant.

The DIOL project supports the international goal to transform the North Sea as Europe's green power plant and thus plays a central role in the development of a transnational offshore renewable energy system.

Reduction of the Carbon Footprint of Ports

Implementation of various pilot projects to reduce CO2 emissions and environmental impact of ports.

Environmental protection while apprenticeship

Sustainable qualification measure for our apprentices

Feasibility study on the construction of a hydrogen filling station at the Emden, Brake and Cuxhaven sites for sustainable rail transport.

As part of H2NPorts, a feasibility study is to be carried out for the construction of a hydrogen filling station and to determine the most suitable location in each case.

Test of innovative lighting technologies in the port

Which light source is best suited to meet the special challenges for lighting in ports and at the same time to meet the demands of sustainable port development?

A smart sediment and water management system

Within the scope of the EU INTERREG project NON-STOP, we are developing a concept for a smart sediment and water management system at the Port of Emden.

Holistic mapping of port structures using digital and automatable methods in a digital twin model

A fully digital twin for port structures using IoT, 5G, BIM, AR and AI techniques to build smart building lifecycle management.

Renewable Energy Development and Intelligent Implementation in PORTS

Development and intelligent implementation of small-scale renewable energy generation plants for Emder Hafen/NPorts Häfen.

Seabin - a garbage can for professional disposal of marine litter

The aim of the project is to make a contribution to the cleansing of the seas and to the fight against the problem of marine litter.

Ship-independent navigational aid system

An assistance system to prevent damage to ships and port infrastructure
