Friday 28 December 2007

l Henry Kwok's pick: wider adoption of EDI interchanges between terminals and partners such as customs, lines, agents and banks.

l David Chow’s pick: radio frequency identification applications. "They provide a cost-effective way of monitoring yard operations by identifying the movements of all equipment."

l ICTSI's pick: 'smart' processing in terminal yards through products such as Navis Expert Decking through which a computer quickly works out the best slot for a container each time one arrives at the gate or is discharged from a ship.
