“Singapore’s project to operate the world’s largest automated port is coming along nicely. The Tuas mega port has successfully handled 10 million containers since it kicked off operations in September 2022, and is expected to increase that to a massive 65 million shipping containers per year in the 2040s, when its four-phase development is complete…

A command center near the port sees humans monitor and remotely operate vehicles and cranes from large screens displaying a digital twin of the facility. That includes a fleet of fast-charging electric automated guided vehicles (AGV) moving through the terminal, autonomously transporting containers…

The electrified equipment and vehicles are said to help cut the port’s carbon emission by about 50% compared to current diesel-powered machines. The facility will also use a smart grid management system, and feature buildings designed to require nearly 60% less electricity than similar-sized constructions.”
