How can maritime adapt aviation's approach to terminal digitisation, and what does that path look like in practice?
Join four senior leaders from across the cruise terminal ecosystem for an editorial discussion on a question the industry can no longer afford to avoid:
Rather than asking whether maritime should copy aviation, the panel will explore which lessons are genuinely transferable, where the comparisons break down, and how cruise and ferry terminals can apply them in practice.
The discussion will explore:
What aviation actually built: from interoperable data and biometric infrastructure to the standards that enable seamless passenger processing at scale
Which lessons translate directly to cruise and ferry terminals: and which need adapting for the realities of maritime operations
How Cruise Gate Hamburg is approaching terminal modernisation: and what other ports and terminal operators can learn from its experience
