Terminal Operations

Automation provides the industry with lots of great products but there is tough competition for innovation opportunities compared to digitalisation, a technology specialist has said.

Electric powertrains will solve global CO2 emissions challenges but terminals need to account for charging requirements, according to an electromobility expert.

The greatest opportunity today is the new way of thinking in horizontal transport, the managing director of AUCOS-Systems GmbH has stated.

The Paris MOU, Tokyo MOU, Indian Ocean MOU and Black Sea MOU port state control (PSC) regimes have agreed to focus on the prevention of ship air pollution during their forthcoming concentrated…

Automation and safety should be key areas of focus for ports if they want to improve efficiency, the president and chairman of the Port Equipment Manufacturers Association has said.

Efforts by ports to green operations are driving technology development but the whole maritime industry needs to work together to do more, the senior vice president of mobile equipment at Kalmar has…

Ports are moving in the right direction to decrease emissions but there is a lack of global research on how ports are handling impact management, an environmental specialist has stressed.

Taking a step-by-step approach to automation is sensible because it allows for time for terminals to become orientated with functionality and processes, the managing director of LASE has said.

The possibility of even-bigger ships, the acceleration of ship cascading and the continuing impact of neo-panamax dimensions on ports are just some of the pressures being placed on container terminals today, according…

New International Transport Forum (ITF) research into decarbonisation for shipping has revealed that almost-complete decarbonisation could be attained by 2035 if currently-available technologies are deployed to their maximum.

Data gained from artificial intelligence (AI) needs to be interpreted using appropriate technology, not manually, a technology expert has warned.

The implementation of shore power is one of the main challenges for ports tackling emissions at berth and in surrounding anchorages, an engineering expert has stressed.
