Hile Only 4 Per Cent Of Global Container Terminal Capacity Is Automated Toa Certain Degree Since 2012 News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana
SINGAPORE, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ Singaporean Lithium-ion battery manufacturer, Durapower Holdings Pte Ltd ("Durapower") will power over 60 per cent of PSA Singapore's ("PSA") new Tuas Port's current Automated Guided Vehicle ("AGV") fleet. A key component of what will be the world's first fully automated and digitalized port is the use of AGVs to optimise the operational flow of containers between the wharf and yard. Cutting emissions by almost half, the electric AGV fleet is also key in helping Tuas Port to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, as announced by the Ministry of Transport ("MOT"). The success of major port operations is dependent on the ability for ports to efficiently move containers to their assigned locations in support of busy vessel schedules. Today, such operations are dependent on fossil-fuel powered, human-driven vehicles. Switching to automated operations can enhance operations efficiency and sustainability
