ENABLING FULLY AUTONOMOUS PORTS FROM TERMINAL OPERATIONS TO GROUND TRANSPORTATION

09:15	Keynote: How Rotterdam Is Building The Most Automated Port In The World
	MONICA SWANSON Business Manager Digital Development Port of Rotterdam International

09:45	Australia’s First Fully Automated Port Case Study: Victoria International Container Terminal
	Victoria International Container Terminal, Melbourne is one of the most advanced container terminals in the world. With an annual handling capacity of over a million TEU, the 35-hectare terminal is now the first fully automated container handling facility in the world. The OneTerminal deployment at VICT includes an Automatic Stacking Crane system, AutoShuttles which can pick, carry, stack and ground containers independently, automated truck handling system, and Terminal Logistics & Operating System. As well as boosting the efficiency of its operations, full automation under the OneTerminal solution is creating a much safer and cleaner work environment. The load sensing spreaders used in its Automatic Stacking Cranes (ASC) picks up any discrepancies at 99% accuracy and if there is an eccentric load, warning will be sent to the truck drivers. The integrated services from the automation solution also enable VICT to manage multiple kinds of operations through “a single pane of glass”

PORT DIGITALIZATION SUCCESS CASE STUDY

09:15	Digitalisation and Building Ecosystems From a Multipurpose Port Perspective
	LEE JEK SUEN Vice President of Strategic Planning Jurong Port

09:45	How Port Of Brisbane Is Leveraging Blockchain To Cut Out $1 Billion Unnecessary Logistics Costs?
	Australia’s containerized sea cargo supply chains suffer from over $1 billion of embedded unnecessary costs. Every container shipment in global maritime trade today requires on average approval from 30 disparate organizations and more than 200 document verifications. In fact, the cost of processing documents and information for every container shipment is estimated at more than twice the cost of the transport. Through blockchain, IBM estimates that up to 20% of unnecessary supply chain logistics costs could be cut, resulting in billions of dollars saved. Australia’s first blockchain-powered ‘trade community system’ that was piloted at the Port of Brisbane will enable digitization of all these flow of trading information and reduce friction for business and cut down supply chain costs. Agreement, process, task and payment can be identified, validated, stored, and shared, all without intermediaries, resulting in tremendous efficiencies and cost savings. This blockchain-led implementation has the potential to alleviate the excessive costs – up to $450 per container – that the import scene sees due to inefficient manual processes and resistance to change.

AUTONOMOUS PORT SITE TOURS

SITE TOUR A: Port Botany Automated Container Terminal & Automation Technology
09:00 – 12:00	Apart from being safer than conventional ports, automated ports can benefit from productivity increases of up to 35% and operating expense reductions of up to 55%, according to McKinsey research. 80% of shipping leaders expect at least half of all greenfield port projects to be semi- or full automated in the next few years. Get a glimpse of this future in this exclusive tour of Sydney’s Port Botany, where autonomous machines have taken over the labor previously done by dockworkers. You will see how automation delivers highly efficient terminal operations 24/7, with less fuel, maintenance costs and human risk.


SITE TOUR B: World’s First State-Of-The-Art Intermodal Automation At Moorebank Logistics Park, Sydney
13:00 – 16:00	As the world’s first automated intermodal terminal, Sydney’s Moorebank Logistics Park will help reduce emissions and safety risk through the use of world-first, fully automated, electrically powered container handling equipment and automated systems. The efficiency of this technology will also provide certainty that containers leave from a ship and arrive at the warehouses in a single day, instead of four days as in the past. Join us for a visit to Moorebank to see the gains it is reaping from state-of-the-art automated transport, rail and more, and how your operations can benefit from similar rollouts of port automation.
