New Navi-Port technology to revolutionise port operations.
At ports around the world, anchored vessels sit in the distance, waiting for permission to dock, resulting in fuel waste, higher carbon emissions, and congestion. Is there a solution to this problem?
In most cases, cargo ships arriving at port are assigned a docking space on a first-come-first-served basis. This method of port arrivals has, in effect, created a queueing system that wastes fuel and produces excess greenhouse gas emissions.Posted On:6-Oct-2020
