Enhancing Port Operations with Drone-based Optimization

How Drone Mapping Prevents Bottlenecks and Optimizes Cargo Flow

In port logistics management, one of the biggest challenges is avoiding bottlenecks that disrupt cargo flow and cause costly delays. To tackle this issue, we use drone mapping at the beginning of each project to generate high-resolution aerial maps of the entire port area. These maps allow us to:

  • Identify potential bottlenecks in cargo handling zones, roadways, and storage areas before they cause delays

  • Optimize traffic flow for trucks, cranes, and stevedores by designing efficient access routes

  • Plan storage layouts strategically, ensuring smooth transitions between unloading, storage, and transport

  • Improve overall logistics coordination, reducing congestion and increasing operational efficiency

Unlike traditional satellite imagery, drone mapping provides real-time, high-precision data, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. This allows us to anticipate and mitigate potential logistics constraints, ultimately enhancing cargo movement and improving turnaround times at the port.

Integrated into Our Full-Service Port Logistics Solutions

Our drone-assisted logistics planning is a core part of our comprehensive port logistics services, which include:

  • Cargo surveying and marine surveying to ensure safe and efficient handling of all cargo

  • Logistics planning and supervision, overseeing operations from vessel discharge to final transportation

  • Storage layout planning, using drone-generated maps to design optimal cargo storage solutions

  • Port logistics management, integrating all aspects of logistics to streamline port operations

By combining cutting-edge drone technology with hands-on logistics expertise, we ensure that cargo is handled efficiently, safely, and without unnecessary delays.

Real-World Application: High Coast Wind Project in Sweden

We are currently applying drone-based port logistics planning in the High Coast Wind Project, where 80 wind turbines are being transported through the ports of Köpmanholmen and Härnösand. Our drone-generated maps have allowed us to optimize storage layouts, prevent bottlenecks, and ensure seamless logistics coordination.

With drone mapping as a fundamental tool, we continue to refine cargo surveying, marine surveying, and port logistics management across Sweden and the Nordic region—delivering efficient, innovative solutions for complex logistics projects.
