3 Ways AI Will Transform Ports - One
Summary
As artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding into more sectors across the economy, Grant Ingram, CEO of Innovez One for the UK and EMEA, considers its potential applications for ports – and why it is essential that algorithms are trained judiciously. Algorithms powered by machine learning, a subset of AI, can generate text, images and music, and even help identify genes responsible for diseases, but what exactly can they achieve for the maritime sector? With growing pressure to reduce carbon emissions from shipping and wider supply chains, could AI support port’s efforts to deliver smarter, greener operations? For example, in Tanjung Priok, our AI-powered MarineM system has reduced distances travelled by 20% and cut average waiting times for visiting ships from 2.4 hours to 30.6 minutes. Such technology could enable ports to identify critical situations and take proactive measures to mitigate congestion, further optimising operations and reducing their environmental impact.
