AUTONOMOUS PORT SITE TOURS: 30 APRIL 2020

SITE TOUR A: Port Botany Automated Container Terminal & Automation Technology

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 

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.
