Editor's note: DP World is increasingly known as the world's most exciting and technologically advanced terminal operators, and in this paper we get an insight into how the port giant is linking its operations along the intelligent supply chain.

While many operators may be perturbed by the rate of change, sticking your head in the sand and hoping for the best is not a viable business model in such a competitive and dynamic sector.
