Conference Day Two: Thursday, 19 April 2018

11:30 AM Panel discussion: Maximising port operations and security to beat the competition

This panel discussion will provide an overview of the following points:

Maximising points of efficiency in your port such as inner-port transport, operations and communications to create a competitive and attractive choice to the shipping community
Leveraging advanced technologies to maximise resource utilisation and capacity handling in the quay side, yard, and warehouse while achieving the shortest possible total transit time
How to balance security requirements and operational efficiency?

1:20 PM Leveraging smart technologies to achieve excellence

In an effort to improve productivity and enhance the performance, port facilities are increasingly utilising sophisticated technologies. As the number of disparate and varied technologies within a port increases, the complexity of the workflow and the difficulty in parsing information from each system also rises, lowering efficiency. This session looks into smart ways to leverage technology to maximise port performance.
