PORTOPIA
PORTS OBSERVATORY FOR PERFORMANCE INDICATORS ANALYSIS
• 12 partner consortium, led by University of Brussels (VUB) – Department of
Business
• Consisting of universities, research institutes and industrial partners with a proven track record
• Project duration: 4 years, budget 4,2 mio EUR , 70% co-funding by EU
The project and the consortium

PORTOPIA
• Prelude: PPRISM project (2010-2011) : EC grant agreement (300k EUR) to develop a pilot study for a European Port Performance Dashboard (EPPD) (European Seaports Organisation - ESPO + 5 Universities) – Five perspectives:
• Market Trends & Structure
• Socio-Economic
• Environment
• Logistics Chain and Operational Performance
• Governance
What is it? (1)
Wednesday, 23 April 2014 6
PORTOPIA
PPRISM evaluation: • Participation better than expected (58 ports for pilot survey
and 300+ respondents from port industry stakeholders on indicator assessment survey) but can be improved substantially
• Need for more data to populate the dashboard • Need for a credible investment in ICT to provide
o User friendly interface => efficient data collection o Data warehouse management o Data confidentiality: Information Security Management according with
international standards (BS7799/ISO17799, ITIL & COBIT)
• Stakeholder alignment needed for development of structure (legal, financial, administrative), activities, products and services of European Port Observatory (business plan)
What is it? (2)

PORTOPIA
• The ambition of PORTOPIA is to develop a dynamic, user-friendly port performance management toolkit where stakeholders (port authorities, operators, etc.) can administer their own data in a secured, individual space.
o Toolkit for learning and self-improvement
o Meaningful indicators (link to policy / strategy)
• Intelligent benchmarking tool (individual port data kept confidential)
o Against peer group, EU average and best performer
o Including best practices of the best performer
o Individual port data kept confidential
• Reports and publications for users and stakeholders
PORTOPIA’s outputs
Wednesday, 23 April 2014 9
PORTOPIA
• Some port authorities may not possess adequate slack resources to engage in performance management.
o PORTOPIA could serve as the performance management toolkit these ports need by offering them products and services they can effortlessly derive from the PORTOPIA-tool (e.g. standardized sustainability reports)
o PORTOPIA will search for complementarities with individual port performance management systems, including sound integration
• Efficiency gains through the creation of user accounts o Avoid repetitive input of basic data in surveys and questionnaires
o Updates when necessary
o Interoperability with other systems / projects / databases
Benefits for Port Authorities
Wednesday, 23 April 2014 10
PORTOPIA
• Provide port industry stakeholders (shipping lines, terminal operators, shippers, ancillary service providers, other users) with a one-stop-shop for port performance data
• Allow stakeholders to link their existing data in an efficient and meaningful way to the PORTOPIA port performance database (while securing data confidentiality)
• Provide data management solutions to administer port service performance (cfr. user perception measurement tool) to jointly improve the competitiveness of the whole industry (port value chain approach)
• Enhance the exchange of knowledge and experience between stakeholders and provide appropriate educational and training support services
• Individualized approach towards stakeholders to cater for their needs
Benefits for stakeholders
Wednesday, 23 April 2014 11
PORTOPIA
• Consisting of:
o Universities and research institutes
o European Seaports Organisation (ESPO) as formal partner
o Credible, Euronext listed company (Glintt Inov) as ICT partner, supported by Marintek (Shipping KPI project)
• Main port industry stakeholder branch organizations as formal associated partners
o As members of an Industry Stakeholder Advisory Committee (ISAC) for steering and validation of PORTOPIA’s indicator development, validation and implementation.
o As contributors by opening their networks and facilitating their member’s contributions to PORTOPIA
• Global Scientific Committee (GSC) with participation from UNCTAD, OECD, WEF and selected academics
Industry and Science Participation
Wednesday, 23 April 2014 12
PORTOPIA
• 6 Perspectives: – WP1: Market Trends and Structure Indicators – WP2: Socio Economic indicators – WP3: Environment and Safety Indicators – WP4: Logistics Chain and Operational Performance Indicators – WP5: Governance – WP6: Integrating Users’ Perspectives in Port Performance Evaluation
• Conditions: – Data confidentiality – User-friendly and dynamic knowledge management tool – Stakeholder-oriented – Independent – Innovative – Self-sustaining – Efficient (data collection)
Perspectives and Conditions
Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13
PORTOPIA
• Development of a forecasting dimension; • Development of top-down methods for harmonized socio-economic
impact calculation; • Development of an innovative, port-individualized tool for environmental
and safety performance; • Development of European port-related logistics chain connectivity
indicators; • Development of new governance indicators based on the changing role of
port authorities, including indicators on financial capabilities and transparency;
• Development of a method to capture user perceptions of port performance;
• Development of a dedicated performance management system for the inland ports sector, including attention to the interaction between sea and inland ports;
• Development of a strategy map and an integrated benchmarking tool taking into account the specificities of ports.
Different perspectives/outputs (non-exhaustive)
Vision on ambitions and outputs
• Meaningful indicators (link to policy / strategy) • Useful for port authorities and other stakeholders (European Commission, other
industry stakeholders) • Complementarity to their own systems (cf. Antwerp Sustainability Report) • Intelligent benchmarking
– Against EU average – Against peer group – Against best performer – Including best practices of the best performer (not only quantitative data needs to be fed to
the system – constant monitoring of port stakeholders strategies and policy initiatives in several domains)
• Permanent website, dynamic, port authorities and other stakeholders manage their own space; rather a real tool for learning and self-improvement
• Reports and publications: not the core output, rather for communication purposes • Provide smaller and medium sized ports with a toolkit / functioning individual
performance management system

PORTOPIA
• PORTOPIA will gather data from various sources and stakeholders: – Integration and collaboration with other projects (e.g. Interreg, other
FP7 projects, other industry initiatives)
– Need for alignment of data to be able to provide comparable indicators and other output
• PORTOPIA is a unique 7th framework programme project: – EU is a user amongst the other end users: Monitoring needed by the
EC to assess whether policy objectives are met and to learn from the implementation of the policy and adapt it
• The toolkit is not a watchdog over the port industry
– PORTOPIA will embrace and aid the new policy of R&D and innovation, thus in its turn benefitting the port industry and its stakeholders
Some Remarks (1)
Wednesday, 23 April 2014 16
PORTOPIA
• The end user may be a part of very different stakeholder groups => all stakeholders need to be integrated.
– Seaports and Inland ports
– EU/EC
– Large, medium and small ports
– Other port industry stakeholders: tugowner associations, terminal operators, shipping lines, passengers…
Some remarks (2)
Wednesday, 23 April 2014 17
PORTOPIA
• PORTOPIA needs to be at the service of port authorities and their stakeholders (port users, service providers, governments, local communities, other)
• Close collaboration is foreseen on issues such as user requirements, data confidentiality, meaningfulness of indicators
• PORTOPIA is a tool for the industry, co-created and managed by its stakeholders
• PORTOPIA will deliver practicable, generic tools that may be applied throughout the geographical and commercial diversity of ports that make up the European sector.
• We have ideas on what PORTOPIA can do for you, but we need stakeholders’ inputs and ideas to deliver the best value
