💻 ⚓ How are technology and AI changing the ports and industry? What will the future of maritime look like?   At MTBS, we like to stay on top of the developments in the ports sector. During the biannual MTBS Academy Event last Thursday, we joined forces with other industry experts to discuss how technology and AI are impacting our sector. From terminal automation and decarbonization to pilot transits by drone and quantum technology, many fascinating developments and innovations were touched during the day, which took place at RDM Next, the Port of Rotterdam’s center of innovation. We thank APM Terminals, Port of Rotterdam, Lawrence Henesey Ph.D., and CaptainAI for their inspiring contributions.   We had some fun with AI as well: The winning submission of the MTBS AI Contest was a fully AI-generated comic on MTBS’ history and bright future!   #AI #Technology #Ports #Maritime #MTBS #APMT #PoR
