Logistics and Shipping
RDI activities cover much more than just transport solutions.
We are working with national and international partners to develop more sustainable and safer supply chains.
Our projects cover all modes of transport and operate at both national and international levels.
A strong developer in logistics.
Logistics and Seafaring RDI unit
We have a strong expertise in port, rail, and air logistics. Our RDI activities focus on the development of transport systems and supply chains, among other things. Our goal is to reduce the environmental impacts of logistics while maintaining a sustainable level of cost-effectiveness.
The maritime RDI team engages in long-term cooperation in oil spill response training for authorities and in developing oil spill response preparedness.
The Logistics and Seafaring research unit focuses on five different research areas:
- Railway Logistics
- Green Transition in Logistics
- Smart Air Traffic
- Oil and Chemical Spill Response
- Maritime Safety and Incident Management
There is more information about our research areas below:
