SMART TAGS FOR MANZANILLO

The Port of Long Beach 2006-2016 Strategic Plan has been unveiled, focusing on Environmental Stewardship as well as six other key areas.

Manzanillo Port Authority in Mexico is to implement a programme that will reduce the time it takes to locate a container in any part of the terminal. The aim is to minimise waiting times for vehicles picking up a consignment. In future, each container will be fitted with a smart tag, which will give the necessary reference information, including what’s inside it and the time it has been in the port.
