Smart container to cut emissions by half

Abu Dhabi Ports’ mobile smart container uses environmentally friendly technologies such as in-row cooling, renewable energy and efficient space allocation that is anticipated to reduce Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) by more than 20% and will slash carbon emissions by half.

The prefabricated containerised data centre runs a wide range of mission-critical applications, including port and terminal operation systems, visitor passes, and other digital customer services.

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Abu Dhabi Ports Group CEO, said: “Abu Dhabi Ports’ Smart Container Initiative reflects our commitment to devise and accelerate sustainable eco-friendly digital transformation solutions that not only advances the economic and technological prowess of the emirate but also falls in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forward by the United Nations.

“Global maritime organisations need to reassess traditional ways of conducting business and to seek out sophisticated alternatives especially during times of economic upheaval.

“We are committed to investing in ultra-modern green and clean technology and innovative digital infrastructure that ensures business continuity at all times.”

In addition to being eco-friendly, the Smart Container Initiative aims to provide a resilient and safe environment for its digital solutions.
