A predictive software tool is being developed to assist the Port of Milford Haven in anticipating and adapting to changing demands on the Waterway.

Funded by UKRI Industry Impact Fund, the work is being undertaken in partnership with the Science and Technology Facilities Council Hartree Centre, where Louis Rowland said: “We’re excited to work with the Port of Milford Haven on this project to demonstrate the value that digital technologies like supercomputing and data science can have on transport and logistics.”

Port of Milford Haven Head of Energy and Decarbonisation Tam Bardell said: “With this software tool, we will be able to collate and analyse shipping forecast, environmental and performance data to help inform our commercial and operational decisions.”
