Technical FAQs 4

How can a freight terminal be automated?

Within a freight terminal, several processes can be automated. Container yard management has been automated for decades, using information systems to manage the stacking of inbound and outbound containers. Thus, automated yard planning allows for more effective positioning of containers and equipment to increase throughput with the same assets.

How many container terminals are automated in 2025?

As of 2025, 75 major container terminals were fully or partially automated worldwide, representing about 8.3% of all terminals. Several terminal operators show reluctance concerning automation and adopt a wait-and-see approach. The main obstacles to automation include: High and irreversible investment costs.

Why do container terminals need automation?

A container terminal with automation of the internal handling system involves higher operating costs than those of a site where conventional HUs work, but this is offset by an increase in productivity that is added to other benefits in terms of safety, consumption and emissions of polluting gases.

What are the benefits of automated container terminals?

Literature studies show that an automated container terminal reduces operating costs by 37%; improves container flow and mooring space utilization; significantly reduces ship delivery times and waiting times for trucks/trains; it also reduces carbon emissions by 50% (Chen, 2019).
