Specific and real-time information about their movement and geolocation is key to optimize space at the docks and maximize security. \u20185G Maritime\u2019 aims to help the Port of Barcelona optimize maritime traffic, improving security and sustainability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The solution was presented on November 16<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in an event hosted by the Port of Barcelona and the Minister for Digital Policy and Public Administration of the Government of Catalonia.
