Terminal Operations

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.
