Global trade and commerce has been growing at a rapid pace in the last decade and the burden of handling all types of cargo is clearly visible by the present state of several leading ports and freezones. In the present scenario, only a few port operators have decided to scale up their investments in size and technology. Port operators, for example, have always wanted quicker moves per hour to improve productivity at both landside and waterside operations. Mega investments in STS (Ship to Shore) cranes, ASC’s (Automated Stacking Cranes), gate systems and overall TOS (Terminal Operating Systems) are the only way forward to achieve strong results.

​

Several high-value investments are only possible with long term planning, vision, and leadership of government heads and senior industry leaders. The results from such investments are growth visible in the long term. Carefully planned investments in the right team of system providers and automation companies bring significant results in cost and time. The IoT (Internet of Things) framework is becoming a game-changer for the maritime industry as real-time tracking and tracing becomes a necessity. Port community systems have already shown how vital they can be for everyone within the value chain. Innovation, effectiveness, and efficiency are the vital aspects of growth for the maritime industry.

​

LSP's (Logistics service providers) and port operators have to work in sync to achieve expected results for building long term customer loyalty. Blackboard consultants have worked with leading port operators and have deep expertise in TOS, port technology tools like RFID and OCR’s, gate systems and port planning.
