Husky installs Nokia private network

GreenPort Congress	World Ports Conference	Coastlink Conference

GreenPort Congress is a meeting place for the port community to discuss and learn the latest in sustainable environmental practice. It offers ways to reduce their carbon foot print and be more sensitive to environmental considerations, both of which are vital to future success.	The annual World Ports Conference brings together global port leaders and key stakeholders from the shipping sectors to explore the opportunities and challenges facing the maritime industry. This year’s #IAPH2026 will be held in London, UK, offering a programme of plenary, breakout and workshop sessions and a gala dinner celebrating the IAPH Sustainability Awards.	Coastlink is a neutral pan-European network dedicated to the promotion of short sea and feeder shipping, and the intermodal transport networks through the ports that support the sector. It is a place for industry professionals to meet and discuss future innovation, economic and environmental considerations – and develop partnerships that will help build a sustainable future.

Husky Terminal has installed a Nokia 4.9G/LTE network to help optimise freight movement at the Port of Tacoma in Washington.

Replacing the terminal’s existing WiFi, the private wireless network covers 100% of the 115 acre (46.5 ha) yard, even reaching areas filled with metal containers stacked 18 metres high.

Husky Terminal has installed a Nokia private wireless network at the Port of Tacoma

“The deployment of secure, low latency private wireless connectivity allows us to concentrate on reinventing marine freight operations using innovative digital technologies to exceed customer expectations,” say the terminal operators.

“Husky Terminal is now able to watch the actions of approximately 40 yard trucks that are now connected. We are also investigating use cases that will employ private WiFi to improve operations for our customers and teams.”

Within a webinar run by Nokia on 8 November at 16:00 UTC leading port operators in the United States will address key use cases such as connectivity to a terminal operating system, condition monitoring, computer vision and analytics, worker collaboration and drone inspection.

The webinar will particularly focus on the following topics:

What is driving digitalisation/optimisation in ports sector?
What are the challenges of digitalisation?
Best practices and digitalisation plans
Common use cases and benefits from deploying private wireless solutions
The plan for 2024 and beyond

David de Lancelloti, vice president, Enterprise Campus Edge Business at Nokia, said that industrial-grade Nokia private wireless networks were the ’cornerstone of the digital transformation journey at ports’. ”We worked in close collaboration with Husky Terminal to design and deliver a private 4.9G/LTE network that satisfied their need for robust reliable connectivity,” he said.

”The industrial-grade Nokia DAC digitalisation platform will be critical as Husky Terminal evolves its modernisation plans at the Port of Tacoma.”

Join our GreenPort magazine editor Anne-Marie Causer as well as Todd Nate, head of private wireless sales, North America, Nokia, and port operators in the United Statesas they discuss how to simplify, optimise and modernise for the future.
