About the topic:
What are Smart Ports? Why are ports going “digital”? What are some of the examples of digitalization that we are seeing in the port environment, and what could be the impact on port labour? This webinar offered by STC International answers the previous questions and expands on the previous webinar of the global trends in maritime, port, transport and logistics. The concept of Smart Ports as a new stage in port development, some of the driving forces behind the digitalization movement, and the important role that human capital plays in current and future ports, will be discussed.
