Dr. Nils Meyer-Larsen, ISL, and Dr. Holger Schütt, ISL and akquinet port consulting GmbH, have both contributed to the latest PIANC publication titled ‘Planning for Automation of Container Terminals’. Based on findings and results from the research project SecProPort, the contribution on Cyber Security issues adds value to chapter 6 – Engineering, Implementation and Operation. Cyber Security is a growing thread for both port operators and all other parties involved in logistics processes and planning.
Furthermore, the importance of simulation technology during planning, but also implementation and operation of a terminal is highlighted.
The report analyses state-of-the-art and best practices when planning for automation in container terminals. Digitalisation and decarbonisation are disrupting the supply chain, and consequently transport infrastructure. Technological developments are, at the same time, creating attractive but non-standardised opportunities for automation. The report provides advice and guidance for port stakeholders in the planning process and the specific considerations with regards to automation.
