SMART PORTS
& SMART CARRIERS
The Questions
- Has the maritime and supply chain sector been slower to adopt digital technology than other major industries like banking and finance? Why is this, and what can be done both to accelerate adoption whilst encouraging collaboration?
- What are the differences in the ways that ports and carriers are approaching digitalization technology? How can any differences best be managed to ensure maximum supply chain efficiency?
- As the market leaders embrace full scale digitalization, what are the consequences for smaller players with less appetite for new technology investment?
- With the industry already technology dependent, the need for an industry wide secure cyber environment becomes ever more acute. Will robust new technologies like Blockchain provide a solution?
- What new AI enabled applications and devices are emerging, and what are the potential benefits and challenges for the industry they offer?
- From automation at port side to autonomous vehicles, the range of port operations that can be automated is considerable. How far and how fast is the ports industry responding?
- What will be the impact of high value technology and automation on employment in the industry? Is it a case of machines versus men?
