Ross is a strong advocate for the benefits of digitisation in improving efficiency, sustainability and safety across the wider marine industry and supply chain. Ross stated:
“As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the key to unlocking supply chain efficiency lies in leveraging data, fostering collaboration and embracing digitalization. By doing so, we can build smarter and more agile port systems that are better equipped to meet the needs of today’s global economy.”
