(25 cards)
– a standardized container unit that measures 20 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and about 8.5 feet in height
– commonly used in shipping and logistics to standardize cargo handling, making it easier to transfer containers between different transport modes, such as ships, trucks, and trains
TEU
the percentage of world trade carried by the international shipping industry
90%
a crucial shortcut between Europe and Asia, significantly reducing travel time and distance
Suez Canal
transport liquid cargo such as crude oil, petroleum products, chemicals, and liquefied
natural gas (LNG)
Tanker
– busiest port in the world, handling over 40 million TEUs annually
– serves as a major gateway for China’s import and export activities, showcasing the
massive scale of modern maritime logistics
Port of Shanghai
– Ships can carry thousands of containers in one voyage
– The economies of scale make it significantly cheaper per unit of cargo compared to air
or land transport
Large Cargo Capacity
the reason for the implementation of advanced weather forecasting and early warning systems
Prepare for and respond to extreme weather
– Higher sea levels can lead to increased flooding and erosion, threatening port
infrastructure and disrupting operations
– Ports may need to invest in elevated structures and improved drainage systems to
mitigate these risks
Rising Sea Levels
the primary benefit of containerization in the logistics chain
Seamless Transfer of Container
many container ports use this to handle containers, further increasing efficiency and
reducing labor costs
Automated Cranes
one of the sustainable practices in shaping processes that helps reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing
Use of Renewable Energy
the backbone of global trade, enabling the movement of goods across vast distances at relatively low costs
Maritime Shipping
caused by the digitalization of advanced navigation systems, automated machinery,
and IoT devices in modern ships
Enhance Efficiency & Safety
– has implemented adaptive infrastructure measures, such as elevating quays and
reinforcing flood defenses, to protect against rising sea levels and storm surges
– have also invested in advanced drainage systems to manage heavy rainfall
Port of Rotterdam
what AI does to help optimize resource allocation and improve disaster preparedness
By analyzing data to predict
what Global Shipping Routes do
Connect various port
technologies integrated along with RPA central to automate complex processes end-
to-end in hyperautomation
AI & Machine Learning
– upgrading to energy-efficient appliances and machinery can significantly reduce energy consumption and costs
– includes using LED lighting, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and smart building technologies
Optimize energy use
– has established strong collaborative networks with regional ports and stakeholders
– has implemented innovative solutions such as automated systems and smart technologies to improve efficiency and resilience
Port of Singapore
it is what digital twins are used for
To help scenario planning
strategy for inspiring action toward sustainability and resilience
Highlighting Role Models
along with subsidies, used to encourage sustainable practices among businesses and
individuals
Provide Incentives
Implementing innovative water management solutions to prevent flooding and this
Enhance Resilience
this and intensity of extreme weather events can disrupt port operations, damage infrastructure, and impact supply chains
