Highly automated terminal in Taiwan


Kaohsiung's seventh container terminal was officially opened on 1 May 2023. Taiwan International Ports Corporation's chairman Hsien-yi Lee took the opportunity to visit the terminal and inspect the new container yards, see Evergreen Marine’s newly installed remotely controlled automated vehicles and equipment, and review automated operations in the terminal’s control area.

 

The advanced container terminal was built in less than five years. Despite the difficulties the port has faced, the terminal is now in full operation, thanks to "the UAVs, remote control technologies, and AI systems already installed", Hsien-yi Lee commented.

 

Port of Kaohsiung is the first in the nation to install remotely controlled 25-container-outreach ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, fully automated driverless transtainers, and smart gate controls in both quay and inland operations areas. The automation is supposed to significantly upgrade the quality of the port’s working environment and operational efficiencies at the terminal’s container yards. (lh)
