overview
An end-to-end masterclass unravelling technical, operational and technological strategies in port automation, this seminar dissects real-world cases from global port operators, developers and equipment providers. Covering both green & brown field terminals, participants will exercise with architecture and deployment of technologies that maximise profitability and performance. Through examining various technology, you will also exercise with port automation KPIs, economic analyses and how to implement from business case to go-live
The impact and choices of technologies (including AI, robotics, container handling equipment, cybersecurity) will be illustrated in conjunction with civil, engineering and traffic master planning, from berth/yard utilisation, landside activities to capacity simulation
Key Learning Outcomes and Case Studies Include
- Choices for automating terminals, key automation configurations
- Benchmarking port KPIs impacting operations & profitability
- AI master planning in considerations of civil, engineering development
- Examine port’s efficiency & capacity gap and develop technology architecture
- Optimising berth & yard utilisation
- Minimising disruptions from transition to automation
- Automation vs safety, port performance indicators and profits
- Cybersecurity considerations in automation

Jon Arnup
Founder & CEO
Trent Holdings Group
Jon has over 30 years’ experience involved in every facet of port & terminal development, mainly in technical engineering, architecture, asset management, project management and technology. Having led many greenfield & brownfield projects, he developed and transformed largest ports around the world, and is well-versed in due diligence, procurement policies, deployment process, inventory management and maintenance strategies of modern, state-of-the art yard and berth innovations including automated cranes, RTG’s, trucks, AI, equipment breakdown predictability, AGVs. Terminal development & automation projects led by Jon include Port of Felixstowe, Panama Ports, Port of Tanjung Pelepas, as well as Dubai’s first automated cranes at DP World and most recently a greenfield fully-automated port project in New Zealand.
Jon set up Trent Ports Services in 2016 to provide consultancy on ports’ project management, equipment due diligence & procurement, specification creation, delivery, as well as AI-driven solutions in the field of operations and engineering. His team has delivered services in over 20 countries across 5 continents.
