The chemical industry has tremendous experience in operational excellence and safety. One of its main challenges, however, is obtaining the same state-of-the-art level for the transportation and affiliated logistics of their goods.

Innovation and digitization in this logistic chain are required to improve control and safety, and to decrease the ecological footprint of this industry. And as for every high-volume business, every incremental step that provides more transparency and accuracy about position, transport and delivery, would be of a major benefit.

Five experts will share their view on various logistic challenges for the chemical industry, and the innovative solutions that might be applied to tackle these challenges.

• Joost Naessens, Cefic - Reliability - Traceability - Efficiency. What can the chemical industry expect?
• Troy Muyshondt, Dockflow - The 4 levels of visibility in maritime shipping
• Thierry Vanelslander, UAntwerpen - Impact of calamities and uncertainty on logistics chains and cargo flows.
• Kevin Onderbeke, Ahlers - Supply chain risk management and contingency planning in the chemical sector
• Jan Buytaert, Verhaert - End-to-end optimization of the supply chain algorithm

There will be ample time for Q&A after the presentations.
