With COVID-19’s impacts still sweeping through the global economy, presenting both human and economic challenges not witnessed in generations, the port and terminal industry has shown huge resilience and continues to function as vital supplies are shipped around the world, ensuring cargo is unloaded and flowing through terminals to reach end destinations, despite facing severe disruption.
With manufacturing severely impacted and demand still diminishing, despite a slight easing of lockdown restrictions globally, supply chains are still under enormous pressure and supply chain actors have been put in the toughest of positions, to ensure their operations can mitigate current pressures.
Navigating through this time has been testing; this current crisis will end, and the industry must be in a position to recover as quickly as possible in order to return stronger and more resilient.
But what are your mitigation plans? Discover here the crucial steps you need to be taking now to re-adapt your operations to mitigate supply chain disruption.
Join this exclusive webinar from TOC Digital, and gain first-hand insights from three leading port equipment manufacturers and service providers on how port operational structures have been impacted by COVID-19 and how these will be overcome.

Hot topics to be discussed:
Join Antti Kaunonen, President - Automation Solutions at Kalmar, Stefan Lampa, President - Mobile Solutions at Kalmar, Mika Mahlberg, Executive Vice President at Konecranes and Christian Koegl, CEO - Cranes at Siemens in this exclusive webinar to find out how the industry is looking to return even stronger.
Raising the level of debate, speakers will be asked their thoughts on many of challenging topics facing the port equipment sector, including:
- What stage on the digitalization journey have these companies reached today?
- Where are the key gaps in the industry’s adoption of digitalization?
- What do terminal operators need to do to overcome these?
With mixed messages in the industry today about how practical it is to retrofit automation to existing equipment and systems, the debate will move on to ask, why is this? And where is the wave of brownfield automation that was predicted?
Finally, our panel will debate what are the most exciting developments in industrial automation and control systems and what applications these could have for container terminal equipment and systems.
A word from our Associate Digital Partner:
Ports and terminals continue to play an essential role in keeping the world’s supply chains flowing during the COVID-19 crisis. But the pandemic has impacted their operations and slowed demand for container shipping.
The TOC Leaders’ Debate will provide insights on how the industry can adapt to the new normal, ensure a quick recovery, and evolve its infrastructure and capabilities to prepare for future growth and disruptions.
Communications technologies, particularly wireless, will help drive the digital transformation of terminal operations. But the wireless networks that most terminals rely on today weren’t built for critical industrial use cases or modern terminal operations.
Private LTE/5G wireless networks will provide terminal operators with the foundation for unlocking new productivity gains, boosting efficiency and achieving operational excellence.
Nokia Industrial-grade Private Wireless supports critical communications and operational applications with a dedicated LTE or 5G network that delivers resilient, secure connectivity to every part of the terminal. These capabilities help terminal operators use digital technologies to enhance operational control, increase automation and improve safety.
