cargo handling

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has revised its vision for Port 2060 and is launching a new video (www.kalmarglobal.com/news--insights) to depict how the sustainable future of cargo handling will look like in the year 2060.

According to Kalmar’s renewed vision for cargo handling in 2060, data has fundamentally changed the way the world trade operates, making it more efficient, safe and sustainable. People will live in smart cities that are part of a global ecosystem where consumer demand drives logistics and cargo handling industry.

“In 2060, we believe that services will be more personalised and efficient. Specialised items, such as your favourite blend of coffee, can be ordered directly from a local producer. Goods will be moved rapidly around the world in smart containers that know their contents and destination. Everything will be automated and highly efficient,” said Frank  Kho, vice president, market intelligence, strategy and development and a member of the ‘Port 2060 Think Tank’.
