Stewart Lammin, CEO, Flinders Port Holdings, writes:
At the Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal (FACT), 2021 was an exciting year as we shifted our focus from physical to digital infrastructure development.
Having completed the $80 million channel widening project in late 2019, enabling us to welcome Post-Panamax ships, we are now piloting cutting-edge AI technology to optimise container movements through the terminal itself.
Given the increase in container volumes projected at FACT, utilising intuitive technology to support decision making around critical issues such as the holding and movement of containers is fundamental to our business.
Progress on this front increased significantly in 2021, while we also continue to explore other Smart Port innovations.
