Day one of Port Technology's Container Terminal Automation Conference (#CTAC2018) has resulted in many exciting discussions and ideas being shared with attendees.
Scott Peoples, President, TOS Business Line, Navis, delivered the opening key note, asking the audience to collaborate better on resolving problems in the container shipping industry.
The day started with 'The Industry Today: A Macro Perspective' session, which saw Neil Davidson from Drewry, Wolfgang Lehmacher from the World Economic Forum, Lars Jenson from SeaIntelligence, and Professor Jean-Paul Rodrigue from HOFSTRA University debate important developments that are impacting the global supply chain, including blockchain.
Five more sessions followed, with the day's events culminating in an exclusive networking dinner hosted at Searcy’s at the Gherkin in London, where Rajant opened guests' eyes to the wireless possibilities that scalable, low-latency, real-time networks can provide to ports.

THE INDUSTRY TODAY: A MACRO PERSPECTIVE
#CTAC2018 only 2% of #container #terminals worldwide considered fully automated. Is cost of labour a deciding factor in decision to move from mostly manual to mostly (wholly) automated operations? https://t.co/8BckXAkFpN
