He explains that the development of fully automated terminals will keep progressing because of increasing demand on the supply chain, but that manual operations at ports will still be important for some time to come.
He adds: “Each of them offer unique challenges in their own right. With a fully-automated [terminal] you want to maximise the infrastructure you've invested in.
“In a traditional, manual terminal, there are still challenges there because you can automate some parts of the processes and still benefit.”
