Negotiating Tradeoffs in Marine Terminal Automation
This presentation will address the divergence of marine container terminal automation paths between high and low capital approaches, greenfield and brownfield sites, and semi-automated and fully automated approaches. Drawing on examples from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, the presentation will address and pros and cons of RMG/AGV systems versus RMG/Auto-strad, RMG/manual strad, and complete auto-strad systems. The presentation will further distinguish between greenfield opportunities and the challenge posed by transitioning existing terminals.
