    Abstract

    Ports are integral parts of many supply chains and are as such a contributing
    factor to the overall efficiency of the supply chain. Ports are also dynamic
    entities where things changes continuously. The dynamic nature of ports
    is also a problem when trying to optimise the utilisation of resources and ensure
    a low lead-time. Information sharing is a very important tool to reduce the effect
    of dynamism. This paper attempts to explain how information sharing is
    enabled in such an environment, and which considerations are relevant, both in
    regards to the information and required technology. The paper highlights trust,
    availability of data and complexity of solutions and technology as being the
    main hurdles.
