Charting a course towards smarter ports 11:16 | 15/03/2021
Ports and shipping are vital for a well-functioning global economy. According to the International Chamber of Shipping, shipping contributes roughly 90 per cent of the worldâs trading.

Container shipping is growing to keep up with demands in consumer and industrial trade.

The recent announcement of further investments within the next phase of port development by 2030 further strengthens and reinforces that strategic vision.
