Smart Shipping Focus at Intermodal Asia 2018

With an estimated 12 million containers transported via sea annually, equating to 90% of the world’s commercial products, smart shipping is now an integral part of the complex global container supply chain.
 
In collaboration with the Global Smart Container Alliance (GSCA), Intermodal Asia 2018 will host a 2-day Smart Shipping Forum, drawing together senior level intermodal professionals from over 90 different countries to discuss how increasing automation and digitalization across the shipping supply chain will ensure an increased competitive edge for the future, and how new technologies are creating more transparency in the supply chain, whilst encouraging greater profitability, efficiency and resilience.
 
The Smart Shipping Forum will include sessions on: Smart Ports: increasing automation, Using New Technologies to Optimize the Container Logistics Market, Blockchain Technology, The Internet of Things and Big Data in Tracking, the Rise of the Smart Container, Remote Temperature Monitoring and Cyber Security.
