The issues caused by a lack of data sharing, digitization, and collaboration between ports and terminals have been discussed at TOC Europe 2017 with Navis' Guenter Schmidmeir, General Manager & Vice President EMEA.
Schmidmeir has addressed what needs to happen to overcome problems in how the industry views sharing its data as many terminal operators see such initiatives as giving up a competitive advantage.
In the interview, Schmidmeir shares Navis' software strategy for the carrier industry and the impacts its product development has had on ports and terminals achieving efficiency through automation.
